Last week, #WillSmith visited #TheTonightShow where #JimmyFallon asked the #SuicideSquad actor to chime in on current race relations. “Hearing people say that race relations are worse than theyve ever been, it doesnt feel like that to me, the actor says. Racism isnt getting worse, its getting filmed.
Perhaps, Smith is onto something considering the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were caught on camera last month. Their deaths sparked outrage since they happened within 24 hours of each other. On the flip side, the killings have continued a much needed conversation about racism in America since a lot of people really don’t get it! Smith likened this dilemma to marriage counseling in which neither party understands what is wrong until it’s all out in the open.
“It feels to me like what happens in marriage counseling: once everything gets out on the table, the truth, once everybodys said everything theyve been harboring, theres a really dark time when youre just looking at your partner like, Oh my god, thats what you think?'”
Smith continued, “But theres a dark before the dawn. When everything gets out, its a good thing. It just sucks bad when the truth is out. But I think everybody can see it now. And I think its just a little darkness before the cleansing that well have as we move forward.
Do you agree with Will Smith, Roommates? With any reconciliation, sometimes things can get worse before they get better.
