Does the safe bet theory explain away the casting of the wife? :noneya:
It's not a theory. :what:

You cannot name one commercial blockbuster any of the names you brought up previously carried as the lead protagonist. Will Smith has made his career from leading commercially successful films. He's a Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves or Tom Hanks. :martin:

What does his wife in the movie have to do with anything? They just cast a woman they thought was attractive.

What they did with his Kenyan wife is just as bad

His wife is mixed race like the lead actress. Her name is Prema.. which is Indian. The lead actress is also mixed race, albeit lighter skinned.

Your underlying issue is ignorant and are of the words of a colour struck moron, I'm doing myself a favor by not taking them seriously.
No colicat has a very good point. Everybody should respect it, because coli us right.

HOWEVER, I'm not fighting that battle today because there are certain things superceding that argument. Let Will get his shine. Let Dr. Omalu get his shine through Will.

And support this movie so we can finnaly get our damn Pharoah Taharqa movie. A real movie with real blacks playing real Africans after all the whitewash messes tainting the legacy of KMT and PNT.

:ohok:

A woman who looks nothing like his wife... The message being that people who look like his wife are not attractive...

To some degree, the success of past Will Smith movies could have played a roll in his casting... But the last 3 or 4 Will Smith movies flopped...

He is not a box office gurantee... There are more things at work here than just :" it's a logical choice"

They keep selling and you keep buying... And uoeno




We only have ourselves to blame, we have enough wealth in the community to build our own movie studios, production companies, and more tangible assets then do business with Hollywood, Bollywood, Nollywood, just to name a few

The result will be more young black entrepreneur men and women, more jobs for the youth

But these negroes with money are slaves, from the ones u see on tv to the ones u don't see on tv, the store manager of that grocery store in ur neighborhood, retail store u name it

All these black people with a little bit of money want to do is be accepted by whites and look down on other blacks stunting on each other

What u can do is don't watch it, work on u, get enough influence where u have control of ur own community, then start slowly undoing the brainwashing

once other blacks see that, they will be forced to consider ur methods especially if u are winning

People will follow u to hell if u win, none of us are as smart or complex as we think we are, people just be thinking they better than they is

However, u have the tools to use it, therefore if u use ur tools more than the next person u will naturally be better at that skill

I'm doing my part, we all got to play our positions for it to work

I agree with some of your post... I think we should support Dr. Omalu but I also think we should be fed up with the way we are portrayed and create our own

Now you are really reaching... The wife's casting is absolutely abhorrent

Who did they cast as the kids?

I respectfully disagree



No this thread is about the tendency of Hollywood to cast light skin representatives of all things Black and how we readily accept it. In this case, it's Will Smith... In Nina Simone's case, it was Zoe Saldana...

And I had issues with that casting too...

Kerry Washington's husband is Black...

Jada Pinkett isn't Black?
