"When it happened, I immediately saw the world shifting… I could feel the shift happening, and I immediately went into a state of study," Smith said."I could feel that I was going to be called on in a way that was different than anything that had ever happened in my career and in my life, and I just wanted to be prepared to meet the seismic shift of the times."
Smith told Rye that he thinks we are dealing with uncharted circumstances and praised the younger generation for protesting. "The entire globe has stood up and said to the African American people, 'We see you and we hear you. How can we help?' We've never been there before," he said."I was deeply encouraged by the innate connectivity of the protesters globally.""Don't succumb to lovelessness no matter how much evil you face, because you poison yourself and you poison your own community," the 51-year-old actor said.in which he plays a runaway slave named Peter.
When asked for an example, Smith responded:"You can't make that movie with an African American woman because white people don't want to see that. Just make it with a white girl or a Latin girl."
NBCBLK And they should be ashamed of themselves no black person volunteered to be taken into slavery.
NBCBLK Why do yo humans give so much importance to a simple word?

NBCBLK This is just Will playing the race card show that no matter how far ahead someone gets they will aways fall back on the race card for press. it's a shame to see this from Will.
NBCBLK Will Smith is a Smollette it's what these black actors do. SAD

NBCBLK I'm a white person that does not dress in my tax bracket. I have had a swat officer put a gun to the tip of my nose and say 'Please pull out something besides your wallet'. Had another one call 5 backup cars, he called me an inbred redneck and white trash because I drove a VW
NBCBLK princeofsimp
NBCBLK But you survived and did a lot better than most Americans. You are living the American Dream!
NBCBLK Mr Willis was called a honkey by George Jefferson more than 1,000 times.
NBCBLK N
NBCBLK It must not have bothered him this is the first time I've heard him mention it. He's had more than 10 encounters with police? That's hard to believe. Or is he confusing his film roles with real life?
NBCBLK Cool story...
NBCBLK Don’t heard sad violins playing
NBCBLK He also thinks AIDS is a conspiracy.🙄
NBCBLK Did that hurt more than his wife cheating on him? Is that really the biggest thing he's had to endure? And clearly, all that systemic racism stole his chances for success in this capitalist system
NBCBLK
NBCBLK Will Smith has more class in his pinkie than those particular policemen have in their whole bodies. So sad there are cliques within police departments that ruin the credibility for the whole department.
NBCBLK Nagger?
NBCBLK It’s terrible how these guys have to be in fear of being out driving, etc. I hear the stories.
NBCBLK This is why they kneel... Any questions?!?

NBCBLK Everyone has had racial slurs thrown at them. Black and White. Move on
NBCBLK Sure

NBCBLK I have been called racial slurs by various demographics. Pretty convenient Smith singles out cops.

NBCBLK Yeah what about the kids he raped ?
NBCBLK West Philadelphia born & raised!
