janeababe, I have never ever even mentioned the word "race", indeed, I have not even joined this discussion; only reading the differences in opinion. Where I do agree with 4channel, is with this sentence, and I quote:
"They want African Americans to look like they are unprofessional. He didn't help either but now the nasties feel they have an excuse"
Indeed, I have not even posted in this discussion until right now; only choosing to observe the differences in those opinions and not wishing to participate.
When I 'kudo' a post, it is because it may contain what I consider significantly important (to me), but that doesn't mean that I agree with the whole post. In text only format, it becomes difficult to sort out what can be seen to be juxtaposed with rational and irrational.
I know what racism is and how it so cunningly can be also used/abused on both sides of the fence.
In the case of Smith and Rock, I really don't care about such idiocies and behaviours that mean nothing in reality, but says everything about how flawed the human condition is, no matter what colour, creed or race.
Hi Dom, I can't argue with that, I'll take that on board for the future thank you.
It seems that professionalism can be such a seesaw in terms of who people really are, particularly actors; I believe they are usually able to hide their real life characters and personalities so well, and from that point of view, I would agree that that is necessary for privacy given their chosen careers .
