"I don't want to work for them [racists]. I don't want to work at that company," Smith said. "And the times I have come in contact with it, you get away from those people." - Words of a rich man w/ unlimited options...

For the most part, I don't listen to a wealthy person give advice about navigating racism. Definitely don't trust a rich safe ass special negro, black Hollywood type saying it doesn't exist.

u make it to a certain tax bracket and institutional racism + income inequality helps you more than it hurts you, regardless of race. you are also further disconnected from the experience of the avg black person in the usa.

u dont have to navigate a racist corporate gig. ur kids arent in fucked up schools. u dont have to deal w/ violent neighborhoods. u don't have to deal w/ racist lending institutions...

This should be a wake up call to Will and black folk in general regarding these awards.

People were hyping this movie up like he was a shoe in to win the Oscar and he didn't even get nominated.
