JUST SAYING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The problem with many of these clowns is that they lose touch with reality and start to believe they are the characters that a screenwriter creates in his head and puts down on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

The public doesn’t help much when they treat these mere mortals as though they were gods.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, many of these actors are incredibly talented, and watching them ply their trade on the silver screen is inspirational.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Smith is talented, but he got to the point where he can punch, humiliate and feel proud about what he did.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the Oscars audience applauded after he struck another human being \u2014 no apologies that night.<\/span><\/p>\n

That was before the backlash from millions worldwide that can affect his pocketbook and “star” status.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Rock was a class act in all this. He didn’t curse at Smith or demand that he gets tossed out of the room and arrested.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does anyone believe Will Smith would have pulled this publicity-seeking-slap stunt if it was Mike Tyson on that stage saying the same joke about Jada Pinkett?<\/span><\/p>\n
