Caesar: Huey...I'm sayin'...you gotta help me out here. I mean...why "Bagger Vance"? Huey: I presume you're asking me why Will Smith, megastar of pop music and film would agree to do this seemingly abysmal "Driving Matt Damon" period piece... Caesar: Yeah! Huey: The only plausible explanation is the Oscars. A black man's gotta be a slave to win an Academy Award...I guess will figures this is close enough. Caesar: Hmmm... I thought maybe they ghad his grandmoms tied up in a basement somewhere... Huey: Well, that would be the other explanation.
Will Smith should not have done what he did, but I don’t think it’s fair that Chris Rock gets a pass. He was a bully, and that joke was not called for.
