Chris Rock's joke about watching 'Emancipation' to see Will Smith get whipped may or may not make his live Netflix special tonight -- but if you read the room ... it's clear people don't want him to lean in on the Oscars slap.
Here's the deal ... we all know Chris' live Netflix show is going down tonight, and everyone's expecting him to discussat length for the first time, publicly, on his own terms. The problem ... he's been working out his jokes on this topic for months, and one particular bit he recently did about Will was widely reported this week ... and Twitter ain't feeling it.
Chris Rock can make all the jokes he wants about Will Smith, but making a joke saying “I only watched Emancipation to see Will Smith get whipped” in a room of predominantly white people is disgusting.
