Everyone, please calm down about Will Smith and Hitler.Here’s what happen, the Fresh Prince told a Scottish paper:”Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today’,” said Will. “I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good’. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming. “I wake up every day full of hope, positive that every day is going to be better than yesterday. And I’m looking to infect people with my positivity. I think I can start an epidemic.”And of course, bloggers and reporters had a field day with the statement, hooting and hollering- Big Willy called Hitler “good?!”But he didn’t call Hitler’s actions “good” he said that in Hitler’s mind, what Hitler was doing was good but unfortunately Hitler had “twisted, backwards logic.” And then he went on to say how he wants to spread positivity. I dunno, that doesn’t really sound like a Nazi to me.Smith is outraged over the misinterpretation of his quote and has released a statement he hopes clears the air saying “It is an awful and disgusting lie.It speaks to the dangerous power of an ignorant person with a pen. I am incensed and infuriated to have to respond to such ludicrous misinterpretation. Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet.”Well, at least the Jews accepted Will’s explanation.I mean really, do we really think this guy in the video below, who came up with witty lyrics and who danced with all that colorful graffiti in the background could say something ignorant and cruel?
Besides it clearly ain’t Jews or Hilter that Will’s got a gripe with, it’s girls. Uh oh, did posting this video just ignite a rage of furry that Will Smith is also a sexist? I think the more important question is…what ever happen to DJ Jazzy Jeff?For info on tolerance and teaching tolerance visit http://www.tolerance.org/
