The Million Man March — an event put on by Louis Farrakhan, the dude heading up the Nation of Islam who calls for the murder of police and white people — recently went down in Washington, and the same divisive rhetoric we’ve heard time and again was pushed to the masses by folks desiring to keep our nation split by color.
While the event didn’t make a whole lot of headlines, something that happened last month involving one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and a possible HUGE donation to Farrakhan to support the rally just might.
There are reports going around that superstar Will Smith and his wife Jada supposedly donated a whopping $150,000 to the head of the Nation of Islam.
Yeah, that’s a lot of bread going to support a group known for calling folks to kill cops and murder white people, all in the name of “racial equality.”
If it’s true that is. Neither Smith or his wife have confirmed the donation.
Here are the details.
From Philly.Com:
WILL SMITH and JADA PINKETT-SMITH have reportedly donated $150,000 (GBP93,750) to civil rights leader LOUIS FARRAKHAN’s Justice… Or Else! march. The head of the Nation of Islam religious group held a rally at the Tindley Temple United Methodist Church in the Men In Black star’s native Philadephia, Pennsylvania recently and revealed the couple had made the sizeable contribution in support of the organization’s efforts to raise $1.8 million (GBP1.1 million) for the cause. During the rally, Farrakhan also called on other celebrities to donate. The Justice…Or Else! march will take place on 10 October (15) at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Farrakhan’s Million Man March. Earlier this summer (15), rapper The Game met with the spiritual leader to discuss plans for the march, which is expected to draw thousands to the capital following a series alleged police brutality incidents involving black youths across the U.S.
Farrakhan’s group, the Nation of Islam, has ties to the Black Panthers, another organization full of radicals who have repeatedly made calls for violence.
If this indeed is true, it’s quite disturbing Smith would support a group that advocates murder against innocent civilians, which is a mind-blowing hypocrisy considering these folks claim to be all about racial equality.
If Smith feels there’s racism that needs to be addressed, he certainly has a large enough platform to do so himself, or to join hands with an organization that at least doesn’t advocate for murdering people.
The other thing that sort of scrambles my brain about this is how Smith has repeatedly said he’s not a fan of organized religion, yet here is, donating tons of cash to a group of Islamists who want to spread their radical beliefs all over the world.
It’ll be interesting to see if this ever gets confirmed, though it’s highly unlikely that will happen.
Don’t you miss the John Wayne days in Hollywood, when celebrities actually loved America and were proud of the freedom we have?
That guy is just a terrorist who nobody wants to arrest.
Well so much for ever patronizing the Smith family ever again.
Hedging his bets...
No more movies, I do not support deviousness in any form or fashion...
IF TRUE his career is OVER
Hollywood racism. Who is surprised? (if true)
I think Will should have brought the “little ray gun”....
This is disturbing. The Smith’s are donating to a terrorist organization that openly advocates for blacks to kill whites.
Won’t be watching any more of their movies.
Perhaps he’s hoping for a ride on the mothership when it arrives in Earth’s orbit.

Uh oh.. the scientologists are going to be angry.
Wife-swapping Scientologist.
So, a guy who made millions of dollars off of American has niw decided he wants to support a fool who hates America? Not smart Will. Adios.
Really? Half of America is ready to vote for Bernie.
Yep, if true, then Will is a fellow racist. There is no other way to view this.
Nah, that would leave to big a carbon footprint. /s
I would guess it was his wife Jada that prompted this. She was good friends with that Tupac “gangsta rap” loser, and all his friends got in tight with Farrakhan back in the 90s.
Can you imagine if Xenu and Yakub teamed up? That would be cool.
Explains why Smith likes to be in sci-fi movies.
theres a big difference between bernie and Revrunt Farraklown.
And that is what?
