I must admit that I was shocked to see the following words attributed to actor-rapper Will Smith, responding to a question of whether 9-11 had changed anything for him:
"No. Absolutely not. When you grow up black in America you have a completely different view of the world than white Americans. We blacks live with a constant feeling of unease. And whether you are wounded in an attack by a racist cop or in a terrorist attack, I'm sorry, it makes no difference."
You cannot get much more hypocritical than that. Smith's evident contempt for America is baffling. He is apparently thankless for the opportunities America has given him to be free, work hard and succeed.

"racist cop or in a terrorist attack, I'm sorry, it makes no difference"
Last time I checked racist cops aren't hijacking planes full of civilians and crashing them into buildings and other soft targets. They are not planning to make chemical, biological, or nuclear attacks. They are not looking to poisen a city's water supply, blow up trains, or make their children fight against American soldiers.
Yet again, another hollyweird idiot opens mouth and inserts foot.
Up until now I had always respected Will Smith for his refusal to use bad grammar or foul language in his 'music'... I thought he was a decent guy. Guess not.
I thought Smith was smarter than this.
Apparently, I was wrong.
Adios, Will.
He's afraid to step off the old liberal plantation and probably feels that would betray his s'kin folks....cant even see his chains...ingratitude is the anvil those chains are forged upon
imo
Smith has been listening to that dumb racist b!tch he calls a wife. Like many others I liked Will Smith's music and acting.
I'm done with THIS Hollywood Prima donna.
My choice? Scratching I Robot off my movies to see list.
Great summation. That pretty much wraps up all liberals. Pass the whine and sheeeeez, Will.
Hollywood is very racist. This is no surprise since the nature of the limosuine liberal is rotten and racist to the core. It is very hard for a black actor or actress to get feature big budget film roles. Will Smith should be happy he has enjoyed what few black actors and actresses have enjoyed in Hollywood down through the years.
I've known about his bigoted, racist hatred of America and Whitey, for several years. I've never paid to see one of his movies - never will - and when one comes on TV, I change channels. Will Smith is liberal-demokkkRAT scum.
What an ungrateful bonehead. I had no idea that Will Smith was this stupid. It must be a gift, ay? But then, always remember, actors are children, and often act like children.
Give me a break! It's very hard for white actors and actresses to get feature big budget film roles.
No need for such an impulsive reaction. It is the truth. Read the history of hollywood and then post back to me. Ask any black actor/actress how hard it is to get good roles. Hollywood type casts a lot.
Nothing impulsive about it. History is another name for old news. How many actors and actresses get good roles in good movies? Of all the actors out there it is darn few. If you want to make a point tell me what percentage of actors are black, what percentage get good roles (who gets to define that?), and compare it to the percentage of blacks in the country overall. There were quite a few black actors named in just this article.
You have made some interesting points. History is not exactly old news though when coming to casting roles in hollywood. They do typecast. I do not know the percentage of black actors, but each and every one has a story of directors saying 'we can't have a black in that role' or some sort. That is my opinion on it.
They typecast whites too don't they? Would they cast a white guy to play MLK?
I am not referring to historical figures. I am talking about typecasting, as in casting a person in a role they believe that particular ethnicity belongs in. Hollywood claims to be liberal and respectful of liberal democrat ideals but they most certainly are not. Think about it. Hollywood mirrors the democrat party that most hollywood personalities are members of. I would also add they are a bit schizophrenic and hypocritical but sounds a bit redundant.
Nope. That's street sweeping the democrat trash. Besides his natty dreads look like they need a little caretaking.
OH MY FRICKING GOD...LOL! HEHEHEHEHEHE
