and the next big star that was available just happened to be black.
Will Smith was selected to be promoted. It didn't happen by chance.
Yet, you wouldn't say Bruce Willis was "chosen" would you. Successful TV show, successful music career, a few OK movies, a breakthrough role, action movie lead. He'd get that on merit
How about Mark Wahlberg. Successful music career, a few OK movies, a breakthrough role, action movie lead. Merit or selected for promotion?
A white guy can improve his career and it's OK. A black guy does it and it is given to him so he can be used as a tool to enforce a underhand Hollywood agenda
Like Whoopi Goldberg in the 80s getting prominent movie roles which are now forgotten--like Jumpin' Jack Flash
Of course her Oscar nominated debut had nothing to do with being considered for lead roles
how many other young action stars came along in the 90s who were white?
name them. Who was white who was Will Smith's age being offered comparable parts?
name them. Who was white who was Will Smith's age being offered comparable parts?
Mark Wahlberg had 3 action films in the 90s...he's a little younger than Smith
John Cusack did his first action films in the 90s...he's 2 years older than Smith
Christian Slater started doing action films, and did more than Smith, in the 90s..he's a year younger
Brendan Fraser had the lead in The Mummy, and went on to do more - he's the same age
