Announcement: Will Smith Possesses the Privilege
What Will Smith did was stupid. You know it and I know it. Now, in my book, Will Smith as an actor is okay. He's nothing special- sort of funny in Men In Black but Tommy Lee Jones carried that more than anything. Will Smith doesn't have a great range- he's no Denzel Washington and to tell you the truth, the fact that Will Smith has an Oscar and not Harrison Ford is a joke.
But I digress...
Oh wait! I'm sure a lot of you think what Will Smith did was macho and he was just sticking-up for his woman. Give me a break people. He's 53-years-old, a public figure and knows better than this. Get a spine asshole and tell your wife to grow-up. Hey Will, your wife was the one that publicly shaved her head. As a public figure, your every move is thrust into the limelight which makes it fodder for comedians. With that being said- here's what I don't understand...
I keep hearing all of this bullshit that comedians are just so 'mean-spirited' anymore. WHAAAAAAT???? Mean??? Mean??? Who are you people kidding? What I don't get is the idea of something bouncing off of someone. And what was so wrong with Chris Rock's G.I. Jane joke? I remember that G.I. Jane movie, it bombed at box office but the center of it was a tough lady and shouldn't Will's wife be complimented? But then again- who knows what this person thinks? Let's get to the bottom line here-
If you condone Will Smith- you are stomping on comedy. If you condone Will Smith, a lot of comedians are going to get hurt now because of this. What if a white guy would've done this? I'll tell you what- the white guy would've been arrested immediately. Let me tell you something- I never want to hear the black community whine about privilege again because Will Smith just showed America who really has the privilege.
