Meanwhile, DJ Jazzy Jeff is going, “Hey, what about me?”
‘til a coupla guys that were up to no good, startin’ makin’ trouble in his neighborhood...
I remember to some degree.
the older stuff was just basically silly
Parents just don't understand.
Maybe Will was Deer Hunting, but with Urban Tools. Bye bye Bambi!
He’s a douchebag.
As an American of color myself I’m continually amazed that Black people still don’t get it. They want to blame America’s “gun” culture for their problems. Explain then why Asian Americans and second and third generation Hispanic Americans are not plagued by gun violence and problems with law enforcement. Those two groups value education and intact family units with a father and mother present in the same household. Such simple concepts but completely missing in most Black communities in this country. This isn’t rocket science. Until Blacks accept the fact they are their own worst enemies, and also their own solution to their internal problems as a people, they will continue to lag behind all Americans in overall economic and personal success and happiness.

Liam Neeson will never get so much as another dime from me.
There was absolutely nothing to watch and I needed to get out of the house.
I’d be wondering when Will Smith finally “jumped the shark” into irrelevance and obscurity, but that expression has already “jumped the shark” itself, leaving we wordless ...
Fresh Prince was also a family values show people could let their kids watch without having to hover with the remote, like wth Friends or Seinfeld.
Finally! Someone got it :)
Isn’t he a Scientologist?
“Whose fault it is that Black men are in this situation, whose fault it is doesn’t matter. It’s our responsibility to make it go right. It’s our responsibility. It’s a lot of people’s fault, systemic racism, and it’s a lot of people’s fault that the Black community is in the situation that we’re in, but it’s our responsibility to clean up the mess.”
That’s a pretty solid thing to teach his sons if you ask me. Not to wallow around wondering who is at fault, just accept that it’s theirs to fix. Good citizenship 101 there.
It really is beyond rational debate that there was institutional racism here. Governmentally it ended in the 50s and 60s. In peoples minds, mostly a while later.
He isn’t exactly being a radical to say that.
He is telling his kids that when they encounter things that still might not be right, accept personal responsibility to make it right.
Not a thing wrong with that. And a damn sight better than the race pimp point of view.
The country has bent over backwards to make amends for the racism in its past.
The black community of today with its culture of dependency is the author of its own dilemma. They are at fault, not the white man, not the welfare state, not the nation.
Acknowledging that first is how to 'take responsibility'.
His agreeing to play the role of pervert/liar/child abuser Alfred Kinsey was the end for me. Neeson no mas.
Was vs. IS.
I think your lumping Smith in with the rest of the dependency culture is sort of unAmerican. He is an individual. He doesn’t wallow in filth or record it, and has made a number of very entertaining shows and films for general audiences. I have never heard him playing “the card” in a situation. He has been married to the same woman for many years. He is an individual, and one who knows that if he comes down hard on either side of this question, many from both outside and inside “the community” will try to destroy him. I think he deserves to be an individual, not bear the “black man’s burden” for all the ills of a demographic group.
And the government (IRS, FBI, EPA, etc.) is engaging in a political witchhunt against innocent persons. THAT is institutionalized harassment and it gets NO ink from the media.
And it is caused by The Man in the White House.
