i guess i just feel Black people who make it have an obligation to show the world all aspects of our people, and one that's rarely shown in Hollywood films is Black-on-Black love. If he'd never done a romance, i'd be fine, but i still find it offensive his only romantic comedy wasn't with a sister. but that's just me, confused in a world where black-on-black love is a bad thing at the box office. it's his business, like i said, there's always "Love Jones"
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As I said, I can not tell what his agenda is. Maybe it is just to make money. I read once that he was interested in politics. I see Happyness, Ali, and Bagger Vance as attempts to get serious, but he does not do this type of work often . What I would say, is that I do not think romance is a genre that all actors are interested in focusing on. Romance do not draw as many Oscars or do they make as many blockbusters. These are two things we know he is interested in. So, why would you expect him to put it above his obvious interest in biopics. Something else you should consider is that he has never taken on the producer role yet. For some reason Will Smith and romance seem important to you. Why specifically him, when he is not even putting on the director's or producer's hat like others.
