Will Smith -- I'm No Barack!

Posted Feb 6th 2007 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

Will Smith spoke today at the Motion Picture Association of America in Washington D.C. Mr. Smith told the crowd a hilarious story.
Barack Obama and Will Smith
It happened this morning on his way to the event. An older couple approached Smith and said, "We love what you're doing. You're so great for the country!" In true Hollywood fashion, Smith said, "Thank you!"

As the star walked away, the old man said, "And we'll be sure to vote for you."

Come to think of it, Will and Barack have never been seen together. Coincidence?

47. Why does it have to turn racial, it doesn't have to be this way whites are prejudice as well as blacks, If one has more reason to be then the other really doesn't matter, every person has a differant reason for feeling the way they do.
someday we will all be in the same place, " you can figure it out " there is no color difference there.

48. I thought this was just a fun commentary, but after reading the vile racsist chatter here, I am embarassed to even think that I share the planet, let alone the nationality of the small minded hateful bigots who blogged here. Now I'm convinced we need Barack Oabama to be the Democratic nominee because he will WIN the election and they'll have to accept him as President. This may finally put this race issue to rest. Too bad those racsist rednecks won''t have George W to vote for in "08. Their mentality and lack of intelligence has put this country in a mess that will take years to repair.

51. WHAT'S FUNNY IS WILL SMITH ISN'T TAKING IT IN A RACIST WAY. HE TOLD THE STORY AND SAID IT WAS HILARIOUS ! WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE! ON BOTH ENDS! WE DO NEED TO FIGHT RACISM! BUT FARRAH, CALLING ALL WHITE PEOPLE CRACKERS IS NOT THE WAY! AND RACIST WHITE PEOPLE, CALM DOWN WITH ALL THE SLAVE DRIVING NAME CALLING!!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE SO MUCH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS! EVERYONE COMPLAINS BECAUSE EVERYTIME YOU TURN ON THE NEWS PEOPLE ARE HURTING AND KILLING EACHOTHER. WE ALL NEED TO STICK TOGETHER. ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT OUR TROOPS ARE GOING THROUGH OVERSEAS. THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM AND WE ARE FIGHTING OVER SKIN COLOR ON A INTERNET BLOG. BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT MUCH HATE IN YOUR HEART, THEN THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT YOUR CAPABLE OF.....GROW UP PEOPLE! START SETTING EXAMPLES FOR OUR KIDS. BECAUSE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, WE ARE ALL HERE ON THE SAME PLANET! ANIMALS CAN COEXIST, BUT WE CAN'T? THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!

52. Pathetic losers who don't have the balls to make racist comments like those to an African American's face but hide behind their computer and just wait for a chance to make a racist comment. Ignorance like that is exactly why we were force-fed George W. Bush in the first place and look where that has gotten us. What a scary world we live in.

53. just because he is handsome doesn't make him president material. Look what happened with Clinton. He got voted in because he was HANDSOME!

54. I would like again to thank all of my supporters. I see a lot of people speaking out against RACISM and this is a good start. The RACIST crackers need to be weeded out and exposed. They can run but they can't hide, we will find you. This article is obviously RACIST because behind it is the hidden message that all African Americans look alike. The person who wrote this article is a closet RACIST and has now been exposed. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

55. My comment is directed toward #1's comment. Excuse me, No where in the article does it state that the couple who made the comment were white people.
ALL white people DO NOT think all blacks look alike. get a life kid!

56. Farrah, Once again you turned this into a racial issue.The meaning of this story is... Will Smith took this as a complement and he wanted to share it with everyone. Once again I have brought out the INjustices

57. Farrah, please seek counseling or try and get a life dear... not everything is a racial issue, you are so annoying!!! And all the people making racist comments are degenerates... these boards are just filled with idiots!!!

58. "Unlike the RACIST cracker we got now."

How can you call someone else racist and then call somebody else a cracker. I don't like Bush either, but honestly words like that aren't necessary because a racial slur is a racial slur no matter whether you're white, black, etc. I'm black too but that's just an ignorrant and hypocritical statement. Plus it's way off topic

And no they don't look anything alike. Not in the least.

59. Will Smith is the only one of the 2 that is actually "'African-American" ( as in being born from black Americans).

60. Farrah has been exposed as Rusty on the postings. Just last week Puh De Baer exposed Party On Garth as Farrah also.
