Will Smith is not interested in...Very good piece. <br /><br />Will Smith is not interested in doing Black movies, and I especially don't think putting up his own money for the cause. He's pretty much only interested in being the biggest movie star, period. And Christ Tucker walked away from the black written, directed, and produced Friday sequal simply because they couldn't pay him top dollar. <br /><br />But I've long had your same notion that these black actors/writers/produces who've made it ought to stop complaining and begging the white man to give them a role; but instead pull their resources and do their own. <br /><br />If you take stars even the level of Sanaa Lathan (one of the biggest complainers) and Terrence Howard, or whomever; who've made nice chunks of money, they could pull resources. <br /><br />But nah, most of them have to go lease a bently, then sit around and complain about what white folks ain't giving them. <br /><br /><br />You know, Will might step up if it was something that's going to be a vehicle for his wife; but that's about it.Yobachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151249328042613857noreply@blogger.com
