Although here at WeWon2020.com we are a conservative news reporting site I just could not help but post this story.
So, with that being said. On the lighter side of things I am sure unless you have been living under a rock for the past 48 hours you have surely heard about the slap heard round the world at the Academy Awards on Sunday night. But if not let me set the story for you.
Chris Rock while hosting the awards show made a joke directed towards Will Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith who happens to suffer from a medical condition. If you watch the video Smith was seen to be laughing at Rock's comments and then noticed the look on his wife's face who didn't find the seemingly harmless comments unoffensive, so Smith then walked up on stage and attacked Chris Rock violently slapping him across the face and then when he returned to his seat continued to barrage Rock with profanities.
Of course, it seems to me that there is much more to the story than meets the eye as this seems to be a feud that has been brewing between Rock and the Smith power couple since way back in 2016 when Rock attacked Smith in his monologue about Smith's then movie "Wild Wild West"

Now the event has caused quite a bit of controversy even to the point where
