Well, that brings us full circle back to my question: why does a man who's pulled in well over a hundred million in up front salary in the last few years not take a stand and fight for a Black woman as his love interest in a film?
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Bosco Bosco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Will Smith actually owns his own production company Overbrook Entertainment. I think he pretty much does whatever he wants to at this point. This is from the IMDB: "Graduate of Philly's legendary Overbrook High School, whose alumni include Wilt Chamberlain, Hal Lear, Wali Jones, Walt Hazzard, The Dovells, The Orlons, DeeDee Sharp, etc. and in tribute to his student years there, his production company is called Overbrook Entertainment." The company produce the following movies: Ali, Showtime, I-Robot, Hitch, Saving Face, ATL, and Pursuit of Happiness. Bosco --- "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
