Recently, the 51-year-old Will Smith gave an interview with Angele Paradise, in which he told, with what manifestations of racism in America he came across.
I grew up in Philadelphia when the mayor was Frank Rizzo. From the Chief of Police, he rose to the mayor of Philadelphia, he had an iron grip. Local cops called me Niger, it happened more than 10 times. I was often stopped. So I understand what it means to be in such a relationship with the police,
- Smith shared.
He also spoke about his attitude to the Anti-Raisian movement of Black Lives Matter and the current situation in America.
We are now in such circumstances, in which never happened. The whole world stopped and told African Americans: "We see you and hear you. How can we help? " This have not happened before. Anger is justified when there is oppression. But it can also be very dangerous. You need to be very careful that the anger does not swallow you - I worked hard on it hard,
- Shared Will.
The actor admires the modern generation:
Peaceful protests work as a mirror for oppressants. The calmer you are in our peaceful protest, the clearer in this mirror reflects the oppressor - he sees himself, and the world sees it. I am very inspired by our generation - with what force it keeps this "mirror", which response of the world it causes. I am deeply affecting how protesters around the world united.
