She immediately posted and then deleted something that said, \u2018Thank you, Will Smith. Shout out to the husbands who defend their wives living with alopecia in the face of daily ignorance and insults.\u2019 She since deleted the tweet and\u00a0talked about the importance of nonviolence, and she doesn\u2019t advocate violence. Again, nobody is saying that it was okay to slap Chris Rock in the face. Nobody is saying that. But obviously, for Congresswoman Pressley, she has spent years being mocked and derided she felt for\u00a0Jada Pinkett Smith.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hill said, \u201cNot only that, Jake, you have to actually understand this on an even deeper level than that. For black women, we watched confirmation hearings with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, right? We saw everything that she went through, saw how she was really lambasted in the public eye. And we saw all the things she had to deal with, and she was often lauded for keeping cool and collected. Sometimes when things happen, people don\u2019t feel that way. For black women, in particular, I saw Tiffany Haddish as well, where she felt very encouraged, if you will, by the fact Will Smith, in this very public setting, was standing up for his black wife. That\u2019s a protection black women often aren\u2019t afforded. Like you said, it was obviously wrong. Chris Rock shouldn\u2019t have told the joke. Will Smith\u2019s response can\u2019t be to go up and slap another man in public at the Oscars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN+ host Jemele Hill said Monday on CNN\u2019s \u201cThe Lead\u201d that black women were \u201cencouraged\u201d by actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at Sunday\u2019s Oscars\u00a0because Smith was protecting his<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1405980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1405980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1405980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1405980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1405980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
