The blog has a link to the article, but it's in German, so I couldn't verify if Will Smith actually made most of the statements.

[dbwz]

OK, I haven't looked at the article yet. I'm going to guess it changed nothing for him because he's a disenfranchised African-American...

Will Smith

At least he says he can't endorse Kerry, because he knows too little about him.

I love this guy. He and Jada have one of the most normal marriages in Hollyweird, and now he has to do this????

When asked if 9/11 had changed anything for him personally, Smith answered:
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.

His money has insulated him from terrorism, just as it has insulated him from "racist cop(s)." Let's be honest, Will, many young blacks cause feelings of unease, too.

Will Smith. Wasn't he one of the Dixie Chicks?

[swheats]

I can't believe Smith would down America on foreign soil. There has to be something lost in translation.

[plain talk]

Interesting. The thing that struck me right after 9/11 was how insignificant our problems were here in this country with respect to issues like race compared to what we face against these crazy cultists from the middle east out to kill us all.

One of the most memorable images of 9/11 was the black woman so covered in dust that she looked like a statue. I don't think I ever saw any breakdown of how many black people were murdered in the events of 9/11, but it doesn't matter. They were simply innocent people who didn't deserve to have their lives snatched away. I would like for Will SMith to spend some of his money to travel around and meet all the families of those who died that day. Then go to Iraq and meet the families of those that Saddam and his sons tortured and murdered in droves. Wonder if he would get a better idea of what is good and evil in this world?

[what's up]

Oh, well...I used to like the Fresh Prince but no more and won't watch him again.

His last movie "I, Robot" was pretty bad anyway.

[yankeedame]

Smith’s audiences in Germany and elsewhere in Europe will certainly be highly receptive to the actor’s views on his own country and will, as a result, likely flock in greater numbers to his film "I, Robot."

What more is there to say?

-Anybody who badmouths America overseas is a damn traitor.

[A CA Guy]

I liked Smith, now he will never see another nickle of my patronage.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Too bad, I really liked Will Smith. He seemed liked an alright guy. Oh, Well, Throw another dead career on the fire.

[Aggie Mama]

I really liked him too. Just one more actor that I will never spend another dollar to watch.

[Marauder]

I don't think Smith will notice that I won't be seeing his movies, but I don't really care.

[Gunder]

Isn't it interesting that Mr. Smith makes this absurd statements just as his career appears to be on the decline? It's pathetic how these folks will attempt to get back in the spotlight.

[GeronL]

multi-millionaire celebrities .... geesh

[xrp]

Whew, I'm glad I've never wasted my money on a Will Smith movie!
