Yesterday, I commented in the Will Smith thread that black leaders will crush Smith for feeding a negative stereotype (angry, violent black man).

Some simpleton reported me for racism. My comment got deleted by a Mod, and I got banned from the thread.

Likely inspired by my comment, today, black leader Abdul-Jabbar made this written statement:

"When Will Smith stormed onto the Oscar stage to strike Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife's short hair, he did a lot more damage than just to Rock's face. With a single petulant blow, he advocated violence, diminished women, insulted the entertainment industry, and perpetuated stereotypes about the Black community ...

The Black community also takes a direct hit from Smith. One of the main talking points from those supporting the systemic racism in America is characterizing Blacks as more prone to violence and less able to control their emotions. Smith just gave comfort to the enemy by providing them with the perfect optics they were dreaming of."


Here's his full statement: https://kareem.substack.com/p/will-smith-did-a-bad-bad-thing?s=r

Thanks, Kareem.
