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.
*** I hate to say that on the day of 9-11 almost 100% of my American clients said that. That was the one day I ever cursed at work. My boss hung up a small paper flag in the front window and allowed me to have a little 9-11 memorial and people thought it was me the dittohead, not her, that put up all the flag stuff. Eventually people were complaining so much she ripped everything down. Such is life. Meanwhile next door in the Jamaican beef patty joint (where they had Fox News on) I could hear people screaming about new inventive ways to chop up terrorists with cutlasses.
Oddly enough about a week after 9-11 people calmed down and weren't so repulsive in their views. I'm sure they saw the pictures of the black people that died, and realized that the terrorists didn't consider them to be Afrikans, the 'original people' 'Nation of Islam' 'African-Americans' but just another American to blow to bits, or vaporize as so many were in those towers.
I hate to see Will Smith give into his own personal issues and ignore the plight of other people. At least he didn't go all gushy over F911.
That's sad. Do you think there will ever be unity between all Americans in our lifetime? I hope it doesn't take another terrrorist attack to get us there.
Yes, at least Will Smith didn't endorse that damn thing Moore cranked out. I love his movies, and don't want to have to boycott his films.
