You want to have calculated actions in everything. You know, the fighter in that chapter, I talk about the good side and the bad side. You know, a lot of men, we lose control, lose our freedom, lose our lives.

But the fighter in this book, what I'm teaching you is how to be strategic in every move, how to consider this decision and then look at the outcome of that decision before you make that move. For instance, the Oscars with I talk about Brother Will Smith and Chris Rock, the situation that happened there. He could have, you know, once he stood up, he lost it.

But in that moment, why he's in that seat. if he could have processed in real time, like I want to wreck my man right now because he's offending my wife. But if I get up right now, this is going to cost me more than it's worth. Let me deal with him backstage and talk to him one-on-one. But as soon as he got up out that chair, the internal battle was over. He lost.

And then to Chris rocks, I guess, uh, Not defense per se, but to give him a lot of credit, his self-control and restraint is something that I admired in that moment. And he was talked about bad after that, like he should have hit him. He should have did this and did that. When you do what I do in my community, that retaliation can also cost you your life.

So when I saw Chris Rock, when he took the slap, which is interesting, being a man of the most high, I think about what Yeshua, Jesus said, you know, whoever slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other. What people don't understand, he wasn't saying be a coward or don't defend yourself.

If I'm sitting across from you like we are now in the time of Jesus and I was to slap you, that's why he said right cheek. For me to slap you on your right cheek, I would have to slap you either with my left hand, right, or the backside of my right hand.

What he was saying wasn't that they would slap you with your left hand because it was used for unclean things, especially during that time it was a right-handed society. He was saying if someone insults you, turn to the other. It was actually out of rebellion, like, here, take it. He wasn't talking about self-defense.

So what Will Smith did when he slapped him, well, he actually slapped him this way.

It was very disrespectful. Chris Rock took it, said, you know what, I'm going to win this in the end. A lot of people say he could have been scared. No one knows. But for me, who work with black boys in Detroit, it was important for me to see both sides.

Because even to Wills, not defense, but understanding his childhood trauma, if you read his book, I believe even in that moment, he may have been thinking he was protecting his mother. Because, you know, his father abused his mother and he said even all of his accomplishments was like a silent apology to his mother for never being able to stand up and defend her. Wow.

See, a lot of people don't know that. Wow. CPSD, CPTSD, PTSD, yes, is real. So in that moment, that childhood trauma manifested in that moment. I've operated from it before. I don't put it past will. His actions were still inexcusable, but I understand. And so I see the contrast in both. I teach from both. I hope one day those two men can reconcile even after that.
