Dont forget that Will Smith is a comedian before anything. He should know that there are no limits. Comedians were making jokes about Nkosi Johnson, he had a more serious disease. Jada is no exception.

Some of you think Chris Rock got what he deserved, but half a year ago were telling trans folks not to take Dave Chapelle’s jokes seriously. Which is it?
