       #chrisrock I’m just going to say this,and I won’t be saying anything else.  I personally find it confusing that everyone is so targeted on Will Smith, which I agree was bad, but are completely letting Chris off the hook.  He mocked a woman losing her hair due to Alopecia.  What’s next, mocking bald women and children who have lost their hair due to cancer?

       @lauralth Alopecia = a woman losing her hair.There are no other effects. It doesn't shorten life span or cause chronic pain or cognitive dysfunction.It's much harder, in the U.S. , socially for a woman to be bald than a man but it's not like making fun of someone being bald from chemo

       @PizzaDemon alopecia is devastating for a woman and putting a woman under the spotlight for that at an event being broadcast internationally was bullying.  Never ok.

       @lauralth @PizzaDemon There's also a particular cultural sensitivity among Black women towards their hair, which Chris Rock must surely have known. That's why Will Smith blew his top: for a Black man to make those comments in front of a mainly white audience on an international stage...oh hell no.White people have been judging Black women's hair for 400 years. Chris Rock made a joke in such shockingly bad taste, I'm not surprised at Will Smith's reaction, and refuse to judge him for it.
