Kinda grates on ya.

Carry on.

Since you show no capacity to stay on topic no matter what the topic is, you have no grounds from which to lecture others about staying on topic. And since you're now making ME the topic, you'd know I'm hardly a "Trumpling" if you'd bothered to take any notice of my post history, so you can put a saddle on that lazy trope and ride it straight outta town.

Though I'll confess, posters like you DO grate on me because every single "Trump is a poopyhead!" toot from your stupid little clown horn disguised as a keyboard is another data point toward confirming that the most puerile president we've ever had will get re-elected. You're working for Trump's re-election committee for free. So by all means, label me whatever you want and keep on working for his re-election.

Yep, it's my fault.

I failed to recognize your sparkling intellect.

Puerile, you say.

Relax

Take a deep breath.

Keep telling yourself, "It's only an internet forum."

Carry on.

Mr Williams is known for his rather intense personality and is not particularly likeable, kind of the opposite of Will Smith.

There was way more “outrage” about him as that stupid CGI blue genie than this.
Yes! The genie looked like Tobias Funke to me. lol But yes to the rest of your post as well.

Darker skinned actors have been given fewer roles in Hollywood in general, so I understand the frustration. On the other hand, I thought it was weird that Chadwick Boseman was cast as Thurgood Marshall, as the former is a bit on the dark side but the latter was closer to high yellow. No doubt he was talented enough for the role, but since he didn't resemble Marshall at all, I kept having to remind myself who he was actually supposed to be playing.

At least it wasn't a White guy playing the part, as that would probably cause an even bigger backlash.

Will Smith is a great actor....

I don't care what his skin color is....and no one else should either....in the same breath, I can't forget the big stink his wife made the other year when he didn't win an Oscar....but I will always watch his movies.

Seven Pounds was excellent, and while he wasn't lead role, "Winter's Tale" was excellent, and all the others he's made, his work is superb.

What was the name of the one where his daughter passed away and he was struggling with it so badly, he didn't even know his wife any longer....that was awesome.

So do those same black people consider Eminem to be black?

Well I do.

So F... him and F... you too.”

I didn't say anything remotely related to my intellect, so thanks for your third confirmation in as many posts that you have ZERO capacity to read for fundamental comprehension.

I retract the use of that word, only because I can only assume by now its meaning is far enough over your head it would take at least 10 posts to get you back on point toward explaining it and another 10 for you to actually grasp the explanation.

Right, it's only one of the most visited internet forums in the world. Your posts have been read 18 million times, God help us. What you say here and how you say it matters. So go ahead and keep tooting your "Trump is a poopyhead!" clown horn over and over. Might as well make it worth your while and send the Trump re-election committee an invoice for the value you've provided them.

Goodness gracious!

You're VERY upset.

And very far off topic.

Maybe that is your prospective, just ask some black folks next time, your embarrassing yourself. And it’s clear you don’t know rap music or main stream rap music in the 1980’s. He may look young (black don’t crack) but dude is ancient in rapper years.
You are referring to his work with DJ Jazzy Jeff, whereas I'm referring to his solo albums - Big Willie Style (1997), Willennium (1999), Born To Reign (2002), Lost And Found (2005) - at a time when his squeaky clean rap was atypical to mainstream black rap (but appreciated in mainstream pop circles).
You only knew about his 1980s rap career.....

Pretending that dark skinned people arent shunned for their color isnt helping anyone here.

you should go find some black friends and talk about colorism.
