I was hoping against hope he was republican

LOL !!

He has been known to show up at Louis Farrakhan rallies.

Another racist rant by a Poor Oppressed Hollywood actor well he just made my Banned list.Personally I am tired of hearing these crybabies.

Yes, I''m sure Mr. Will Smith spends his days in his palatial home living in abject fear of the unjust society that America is, despite achieving such vast success and affluence and notoriety in that country that even the Germans seek him out for the insight and wisdom he has gained in Hollywood, and that every day is 9-11 to him. How jiggy.

I saw Baldwin on O'Reilly tonight, and if ever anyone fried his career, he did it tonight. He didn't leave in 2000 when he threatened to, but he better now because he just gave up his day job. Smith's name goes on the Hollywood list....it gets longer and longer!!

[Vision Thing]

Who gives a damned what an ignorant actor thinks?

My guess is that at least five percent of the electorate. However, I don't know if it's significant because these folks probably already vote Dem.

I posted the article just to record it for posterity in the Free Republic.

If Will Smith said these things, I have seen my last Will Smith movie. The man is a moral moron.

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.


If he'd say "wounded in an attack by fellow blacks," then statistically he'd be right but then he'd also be labeled as an "Oreo" sellout like Bill Cosby was a few weeks ago.


Will Smith is just another typical vanilla hollywood idiot.

Another moronic point of view...
I'm sure that the majority of black Americans are glad that the majority of Americans don't feel the way this clown does...
Otherwise the Germans or the Japanese would have conquered this country fifty years ago and exterminated Will Smith's parents...this clown wouldn't be a wet spot on his daddy's shorts!

These "actors" don't have the good sense God gave a jackass!!

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...

[Frank_2001]

I agree with you 100%, and Smith is now on my boycott list......

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.

Oh man, this is just not even a challenge any more.

[eabinga]

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

[joesnuffy]

You can take the boy out of it...but you cant take it out of the boy....
Finally something worse...than an limousine liberal....

[TheSpottedOwl]

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

:-(

Here's the picture that accompanied the original Frankfurt article:

[Ruth A.]

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.

[Vision Thing]

Did he say that in the German article or someplace else?
