@joebmc: Yes, black people can be hypocrites...racism is racism.
About Will Smith...if you know where he came from you'd understand what he means...same thing as a kid from China who goes on to be a star in the NBA...he did it against all odds...
In America black people are still way down the social ladder even though there's been 40-odd years of civil rights reform...most of the poor are still black, most of the prison population are still black, drug abuse is most rampant in black communities, the homicide rate is significantly high in black communities compared to other races.
Now after all that negativity you expect Will Smith to say that he's man just trying to save the world. Hell no, he and many like him are beacons in a sea of negativity.

I understand what your saying, but when I see Will Smith or anyone in a film I don’t see them as a black, white, Asian (well I can see there race) guy/girl I see them as a actor/actress in a film. I don’t need to be reminded of his/her colour. That’s just creating an race issue (something that needs to be stamped out).
I'm sure the poor blacks in the getto's/hoods and that who look upto stars like Will can see that he is black without having to be remineded.

We are never going to get rid of racism, some say just accept it, some say ignore it, some say kick it out...there's no solution which is going to get rid of it, it's always going to be there, if anybody is racist to me, i don't care, let them waste there breathe.

@joebmc: OJ Simpson was famous, he hung out mostly with white people, married a blonde white woman, was prosecuted for her murder. It took the whole of white America being up his rectum for him to realise that he was black.
@jenbones: You're right racism will always be part of the human psyche...what can we do about it? Well I believe that people should be open about other people...in Europe it's especially difficult for immigrants because they come from mostly homogenous societies but reaching out to them should ease tensions.

Yeah, exactly what i mean, we can never WIPE OUT racism, so when it's used to us, just laugh and take no offense, racism isn't too bad, if it doesn't get scarily out of hand, threats, violence, repettitive verbal abuse etc, an odd comment i think you can just turn a blind eye to them.

I bet if we were all one colour people would invent new ways of racism, like you blue/brown/green eyed so and so or you slightly freckled so and so. etc

Yes i agree....its human nature to think we are better than someone else just because we may have different colour skin,hair or eyes..frankly i think rich people are racist against the poor.
