Everyone's a Critic: Why Columnists Feel Sympathy for the Chris Rocks in a World Full of Will Smiths   

Tony Norman will discuss the slap heard (and seen) around the world and some of the fallout. What has been described as everything from a demonstration of male toxicity to a lack of decorum has become a jumping off point for discussions on everything from race, comedians, illness, bias, violence, acceptance of violence, civility, celebrity privilege, to trauma.

Tony Norman is a columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the President of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists. He is hard at work on a novel about con men and the power of community self-delusion.
