Will Smith Declared Most Powerful Actor On the Planet

This part struck me the most:

"He invites the white community in, yet he's credible with the black community. That's a pretty hard trick."

I couldn't agree more with that. Keeping credibility in the black and white community is historically difficult, as evidenced by people like Clarence Thomas and Jesse Jackson, for different reasons. Even in entertainment. As you know, whites often like the articulate, easy, non-threatening, always smiling, Negro who often has to ridicule himself which does not play well with black folks so for people like Will Smith to have credibility with blacks yet still be able to be accepted (at least on the big screen) in the white community takes a lot of P.R. I tip my hat to him for that.

CORRECTION: THAT ULTIMATE SELLOUT CLARENCE THOMAS NEVER HAD ANY CREDIBLITY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY AT ALL.

Now I know alot of folks aren't crazy about Jesse Jackson but when they tally up the count of who has done the most damage to the black community or to average people as a whole Clearance Thomas will be at or near the top of the list!!! :evil:

The problem i have is the fact that you thought i was trying to suggest that Jiggaboo Thomas had any cred in the black community. I meant he had "cred" in the white community, and we both know why.
 
Oh no LC my brotha...please forgive me but the mere mention of his name sets me on FIRE :smt093 sometimes. :roll:
