Will Smith may get eben more props than he probably deserves, but he has gone through a lot growing up and has turned out to be a very descent person, does not matter if he is Bill Gates rich or if he is homeless. I am sure he still has sad memories of what has gone on in the back of his mind. Plus, actors singers and athletes are going to get the fame, just because that is the way society is, basically meaning Will Smith will retain that.

Smith is just another overrated egomaniac who used his so-called "talent" to promote his own publicity. I don't admire anyone who pretends to be another person. I know he such a postive "role model" to the black community, and I'm sure "~Alpha Female~" is steaming right about now with the negative comments on this page. Good thing, too. If the person in Charlotte was another overrated pretender, Brad Pitt, she would not comment due to an obvious reason. Can anyone guess what that is?
