Isn't excluding him from the role because he i s top light skinned colorism also? We're entering a bi…

bi...

That’s a rumor

Tbqh they should exclude Will Smith simply because he's a shitty actor with a shitty family and I'm sick of seeing his god damn looney scientologist ass for the last 25 years.

you shut your goddamn mouth

uhhh no.

We're entering a what? I can't tell what you're implying.

A biathlon, the whitest of sports, combining skiing with spree shooting.

Your skin non-reflectancy must be this high to ride this ride

He's right. Will Smith is a mayo in a black man's body. He even sampled The Clash in one of his songs for god's sake!

They'll get Zendaya to play Serena.

woke twitter really going for it

Or really most appropriately is the fact that for the most part he doesn't play characters, only Will Smith in various alternate universes and situations. Which is best for fictional characters.

He did well in Ali

Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness were really good movies, He just keeps taking shitty roles.

Seven Pounds was great too.

Don't forget Men in Black 3

I prefer 2 Men 2 Black

he's a true thespian

Will Smith is fictional.

This but unironically

To be fair, sometimes it works pretty well. Men in Black wouldn’t have been near as good without him

Sometimes Will Smith being Will Smith is good. Like MIB or Hitch.

Sometimes its bad. Like After Earth

After Earth

I literally burst out laughing remembering this dumpster fire.

will smith is desperately trying to not be will smith in that movie though

He was trying so hard to not be Will Smith, he became Jaden Smith.

how can be bussy be real if our bfs arent real

they should be more outraged about the fact will smith is a shitty actor

also hope they put the part in the movie where the two of them are trounced by the lowest-ranked male tennis player while he smoked cigarettes and drank between sets

Not woke enough.

I can't wait for the scene where Serena throws a hissy fit and threatens to kill a line judge half her size.

she is a MOTHER

SHE CAN CRUSH YOUR PUNY HEAD LIKE A GRAPE WITH HER THIGHS HONEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

Will Smith is a good actor but he’s only done like five good movies in 25 years

Let's give him credit for ID4 and avoiding the shitpile that was ID42

Concussion, All the MiB, I am Legend, Independence Day, Both Bad Boys,

SHARK TALE

Hancock's first half was also hella good.

Shark Tale alone cements his status as kino legend

I liked I Robot.

I think he was already drunk. He had played 18 earlier that day.

They could darken up his skin

A little black makeup on his face to make him acceptable

He's already done blueface

Welcome to the meatshow lmao

Not gonna lie, I thought he was blue in real life

I remember they did this with Zoe Saldana in one movie and there was a lot of controversy over whether a black person can wear black face lol

They'll just dig up that one white or mixed relative they had 60 years ago and say "see?, basically a whitey"

So they're using the one drop rule but for whites?

It was the Nina Simone biopic.

Dominican and Puerto Rican who grew up speaking Spanish

African-American

the hottest takes from woke twitter

This would be hilarious.

1920 - only acceptable representation of black people in movies are white people who smudge shoe polish on their face

2020 - only acceptable representation of black people in movies are black people who smudge shoe polish all over their face

There's some progress I guess.

People these days aren't woke. Ever see the nightmare on Elm street, those scenes where people think they've beaten freddy - but in reality they're still fast asleep? That's what these people on twitter are.

Blissfully unaware that everything they believe in is false.

We

wow deep bro

🤔🤔🤔

Serena William's husband being a Reddit admin is the best cross-over episode tbh

WHAT

Holy fuck the racism and they dont even realize

Woke twitter is really trying to alienate everyone

Did will smith clone himself to film all the fucking roles he’s taken?

He just overworks to get away from his family.

colorism

So seething you have to make up a word

Where have you been for the last few years?

Colorism is a real thing you retard

It's not even in the dictionary because the oldest recorded use of colorism is from 2008. It's just regular racism rebranded to make it seem like it's not as bad as different race racism, which it is.

No it's not you retard. Colorism is discrimination (both implicit and explicit) based on skin color usually within the same race. For example, in many parts of the world like south america, india, east Asia, etc... only the lighter skinned people get roles is movies and for news anchor positions. This is not usually racist because they're mostly from the same race or ethnicity, its colorist.

Like you are trannist.

Distorted absolutely SEETHING he wasn't born a darkie female of color

Which is still just racism because the only thing you can judge race by is someones skin color.

Nope, race isn't just skin color. There are facial features which look different between races, not to mention skull shape. Besides, people from the same race can have different shades of skin.

why are you trying to explain this to the mayos of /r/drama

Idk tbh, i think i just like arguing

You really do get people to come at you.

no such thing as racism

Prejudice through skin colour is racism.

'Colorism' is just more nonsense written by someone who made it through 4 years of college without attaining an education.

I explained the difference pretty clearly in another comment here. feel free to check it out.

Alternative facts. Nice.

Lol what? You think social theories such as this are all alternative facts? Lmao

The theory falls apart when you realise being black doesn't make you all of the same race.

Lmao

Do I think social theories are alternative facts? Yes absolutely lmao

What a retard lol

I mean im sitting at 2 upvotes right now so IDK about that social theory about me being a retard

Imagine assigning value to upboats. Imagine doing an appeal to the majority (of drama users too lol)

STEM students are virgins for all of four years stay in every weekend because no one wants a computet science autist at their place but make themselves feel better by calling calling out “the SJWs”

Good thing I studied humanities.

really? humanities always had the reputation for hot girls

Humanities covers like 500 degrees at this point, the ratio is not good.

Biology and med aren't bad because people who put the effort into being organised and responsible do well, and fine arts has a lot of dancers.

Oh yeah and of course theatre, but the majority of theatre studies is full of neurotic types and douchebags, with the serious ones ending up in honours classes away from everyone within their first year.

fuck theatre kids

You never heard of the paper bag test? It's actually always been a thing but obviously you hire who is best and will actually get people to watch the movie.

They need a paper bag test. Looks like Wesley Snipes is gonna start getting work again.

finally! Blade IV baby!

I wonder what skinny models will play the Williams sisters

Would be funny if they managed to get a trans woman to play Serena.

They'd have to find a trans actor first

From what I recall from that cancelled movie about a trans' man in which Scarlet Johanson was supposed to play, there supposedly are trans' actors out there.

Though I'm not entirely sure they didn't mean "Trans' people who would be okay with trying out acting", since I quite don't think any of them was known in the slightest, except maybe that porn trans' man guy, who, granted, is an actor, but a porn one.

Social justice warrior: “Will smith isn’t black enough to play a black man.” Also Social justice warrior: “James Bond should be played by a woman.” I don’t get the rules of the game anymore.

James Bond isn't a real person, but it's still a dumb argument

Is it wrong that I agree with him? I prefer actors to actually look like the intended subject, no matter the color.

So that's it huh? We're some kinda...

Someone finish the joke

bussycide squad

I am friends with a Chinese guy and his mom says that Will Smith is "very handsome for a black man"

Just get Serena to play the role. She's got the jawline for it.

I dont think anyone wants to see will smith after him being the genie literally any of the other old black actors will do

if he is black than he is black enough.

Will Smith isn't safe from mayocide.

It’s almost like he was picked for being a really good actor, crazy that init considering it’s a film

“i mean like how far does that go though? that can be used to excuse all sorts of inappropriate casting decisions (like men playing trans women)”

How is will smith playing a black man inappropriate??

🤷‍♂️

Isn't the phrase "inappropriate casting decisions" a wholesale indictment of modern life?

No that’s too existential let’s just call it gay.

No anti-fagosexual slurs, please

my body my choice

And he's a furry.

They should get Eminem to do it instead.

Who plays Serena and Venus when they still had their cock and balls?

Who's going to play u/kn0thing's role?

Spez

will smith isnt black tho, this is true

Serena Williams looks like a gorilla

They’re making a Serena Williams movie? I hope I get to see her chimp out against that blasian tennis player for a second time, this time on the big screen!

But seriouspost, who the fuck can possibly sit through a movie about washed-up tennis players? Or even sitting through a movie solely about tennis in general?

sjws have always been far right extremists, its just really obvious because they are targeting a black man.

I love how some of the complainers commented that Idris Elba would be more suitable. I how they put as much effort in to their complaints if he plays James Bond.

Idris Elba should play every1 !!!!!

I unironically hate twitter

oh man one of the owners of Reddit is married to Serena Williams???if I had that much money, Id get a hotter wife then a giant tennis player with a shitty attitude.

This must be a joke. Did mr. Williams approve of the casting? You would think he would be involved. It's about him. If he's fine with it everyone should back off.

Also don't go see it if you have a problem with casting. It's why I don't see Jennifer aniston films.
