Anyone know of a way to quickly ID whether a film was done in China?

No blacks. That's how you tell a film was made for the Chinese market.

Maybe Will Smith can move to France and film it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs3NzBx5ei0

Will Smith: I have no issue with paying taxes and whatever needs to be done for my country to grow. I believe very firmly that my ability to sit here—I’m a black man who didn’t go to college, yet I get to travel around the world and sell my movies, and I believe very firmly that America is the only place on Earth that I could exist. So I will pay anything that I need to pay to keep my country growing. . . .

Interviewer: [Under the new French President Hollande’s proposal] Do you know how much tax you have to pay for incomes of one million Euros and above?

Will Smith: Not 30%.

Interviewer: 75%.

Will Smith: 75?! Yeah, that’s different, that’s different. Yeah, 75. Well, you know, God bless America.

Still, I’m torn over the treatment of Georgia after it acted like a complete and utter azzwype over the 2020 election.

Maybe GA deserves it.

sadly, the stories of the freedmen who occupied the (hot, humid, mosquito-infested) islands off the coast of Georgia are wonderful inspirational stories of people who worked incredibly hard, who tamed the land (and sea) and managed to survive with so much working against them

but of course the world is not ready to admire the freedmen....it only wants to remember slave status

If I was black, i’d be very angry with the way the left portrays us

Yes, I've often thought that. According to the left, blacks can't succeed without help from whitey.

Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith can go Fuqua themselves.

And the best is when they yell “Cut”, and then he starts talking with an English accent, “Hi, my name’s Robert Taylor, and I’m a black actor!”

If you have thought that, then you don't understand your country.

Systemic racism prevented him from reaching his potential.

Why don't Hollywood 'elites' put some money together and offer to pay for a free limo ride for any black person in Georgia needing a ride to get an ID...

Rather than use the situation for an excuse to hate traditional Americans they could help solve the problem ... the problem they think exists...

Go for it Hollywood - you can do better than hate... you can solve the problem...

Not long ago it was easy to only see Will as a likable guy. good actor and entertainer. His race was incidental to me. Now I only see an @$$hole when his image appears.

Delta, Coke, etc. should set up a task force to help every US citizen and resident in Georgia to get an ID. Of course, this would not fit the narrative.

Wonder what these two have to say to all the legal voters of color who were disenfranchised by voter fraud...

Someone should get them on the record.

Sneakin N the Movies, the parody on Siskel and Ebert, or Ho Cakes at Winky Dinky Dog... I’m going to watch it again tonight.

Legal voters won’t prevent a stolen election.

That’s why Deep State is happy to keep the conversation focused on Voter ID.

Did you see all of those white supremists in Georgia booing the Japanese guy who won this year's Masters Tournament? No, me either.
