'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Aunt Viv Rips Jada Pinkett Smith ... 'Shut Up and Let Will Speak for Himself'

ill Smith's old 'Fresh Prince' co-star is on the attack ... saying he and Jada Pinkett Smith are NOT the Obamas, and black Hollywood isn't gonna sing "we shall overcome" with them.

Janet Hubert, the original Aunt Viv, blasted Jada's anti-Oscars stance with a rambling video post that started ... "First of all, Miss Thang, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?" Hubert goes on to accuse the Smiths of being sore losers, and says there are way more important things going on in the world -- "Our boys are being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are trying to pay bills and you talking about some motherf***ing actors and Oscars."

It is who you sleep with that determines who wins an Oscar : )

“There is no limit to their arrogance & stupidity.”

It’s called “Black Entitlement” mentality, or as I prefer to call it: “Gibs me sum mo’ o’ dat free sh!t” mentality.

She has a good point.

Gays run the entertainment industry. If you want to win Oscars, as the song said in “The Producers”, “Keep it Gay.”

There were definitely several Oscar worthy black performances this past year that weren’t nominated

True. As there were un-nominated worthy white performances too.

It happens, and it might not have a thing to do with race.

I think Smith did a fantastic performance in "Concussion." I think he knows it, and I think he expected to get an Oscar for it.

I'm rather surprised he didn't.

You have to understand how they think (or do what they call
think in that town).

The Los Angeles area is scrambling for one or two professional football teams. That means, there's going to be a fair amount of paid on camera work, endorsements, testimonials, welcome speeches, and other face time if and when they actually get their pros.

Now in Los Angeles, show people don't think on their own. They have a whole staff of publicists, attorneys, and other folks to think and speak for them. You can bet that more than one of these type of folks said to their Number One, "Hey, if Will gets an Oscar for beatin' up on them, the football folks may pull out. There goes your new car, (and my Christmas bonus). You don't want to vote for Will. Let him fight the outer space guys, not the guys with the money."

That is a very astute observation. The phenomena around which the movie "Concussion" was made has actually came back to haunt him in real life.

You are right, that way of looking at things makes a whole lotta sense.

And God would desire that, even we, repent of our ridiculous notions of “Christian piety” lest we try to prove ourselves “more Christian” than others.

The onus is on you...not me.

Agreed. Like I said, I suspect the lack of nominations is result of inside baseball/studio politics more than racism.

Lots of people are football fans. Lots of folks are getting tired of Smith family values (or lack thereof).

I love Aunt Viv! Laughing. This is excellent. Forget about the sentence about the Obamas. Love when she says, basically, where was Will when the cast wanted to go to the bosses and get more money for everyone. They went to star Will to help them, be united, but Will said “My contract is MY contract. And y’all’s contract is y’all’s contract.” And then Aunt Viv says “Karma’s a bitch.”

Also loved “Where is yo man, ain’t he got a mouth on himself?” And how their studio only casts their own family, and how Will IS part of the system, and how the Pinkett Smiths want poorer blacks in Hollywood to bite the hands that feed them BECAUSE WILL DIDNT GET NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR???

ROFL, funny must see.

Rofl!

My favorite Hillary skit on SNL was from 2008 where Tina Fey was playing Palin and Amy Poehler was playing Hillary, and they were speaking together behind podiums. And “Palin” says, “Can you believe how well I’m doing, running for Vice President? This just shows that you can have anything you believe, you just have to want it enough!”

And “Hillary” grimaces under her fake smile, and sarcastically says, “That must be my problem, I just didn’t WANT it enough,” as one of her hands grips the wooden rail at the side of her podium so tightly that she rips a little chunk of wood right off the platform.

Lol, love that clip! We know who Carlton is voting for! The Donald did quite well, actually. He should have gotten an Emmy for that.... Whoops, he’s white. Oh well.

You just put up a fantastic argument for why not Will. It could have been any white guy in that movie. It was for politics not race. I wanted to see that movie but I don’t feel like it after their stunt. I’ll see it on tv one day.

Note when Trump says, “Everybody’s always blaming me for everything.”
