Double Standards

And The Oscars Goes To...


We should all know by now how the world works.


Hollywood

The double standards are glaring and we just saw it streamed live worldwide. This was given a stamp of approval by the City of LA, the LAPD, the LA District Attorney, the Media, Hollywood, the Academy, the Sponsors and the Woke Bandwagon. Half of America is obviously overlooking this. The other half didn't watch or those who did, their outrage is deemed not news worthy.

Crime On National TV

Yet we just witnessed a crime on TV, as well as toxic masculinity. We saw an assault on America's most loved right, the freedom of speech, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Half of America didn't bat an eyelash and even agreed with a person who straight up walked up to a person and slapped him. And the show went on like nothing happened. Indeed, the greatest night in the history of television. 

Battery

Frivilous lawsuits propagate the courts of every state of America yet we all turn a blind eye on what millions of people witnessed. Granted over half of the people who used to watch the rich and famous honor those among them who act for a living, there were still around 10 million people who saw and heard the slap, the threat, the intimidation and the vulgar words. All this in real time and we have taped evidence.

Best Actor In An Awards Show

And to think ALL hosts in EVERY Awards Nights roasts everyone and anyone, no one is exempt. The ribbing is not new, it is standard. And the jokes and the fibs are scripted. Many border on malice, prejudice and discrimination, including racism.

Everywhere Else

If this was the NBA, a fan who slap and curse at a player on the court will be escorted out of the game in cuffs and not allowed back. If it was a player, they will be treated like Ron Artest, suspended for the rest of the season and fined a hefty amount.

If this was in a comedy club, a late night show or a concert, body guards, bouncers or security will be all over the person who walked on the stage and have yelled obscenities.

If this was in the streets, in public, between two everyday people the police will be called and that person who battered someone placed on handcuffs.

Do We Need To Continue?

Yes, the double standard is so bright, we cannot see it. And we cannot unsee it.

The joke was insensitive but that's what stand up comics, talk show hosts, awards night hosts and presentors do all the time.
