Will Smith talked race relations recently while as a guest on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Smith, who’s spoken out against diversity issues in Hollywood, used the opportunity to share his thoughts on racism in America. “Hearing people say that race relations are worse than they’ve ever been, it doesn’t feel like that to me,” Smith says. “Racism isn’t getting worse, it’s getting filmed.” “It feels to me like what happens in marriage counseling: once everything gets out on the table, the truth, once everybody’s said everything they’ve been harboring, there’s a really dark time when you’re just looking at your partner like, ‘Oh my god, that’s what you think?,’” Will continues. “But there’s a dark before the dawn. When everything gets out, it’s a good thing. It just sucks bad when the truth is out. But I think everybody can see it now. And I think it’s just a little darkness before the cleansing that we’ll have as we move forward.” Will Smith also promoted his upcoming the DC Comics film Suicide Squad. In the film, he plays Floyd Lawton a.k.a. Deadshot, an assassin with superhuman aiming abilities doing what he has to do in order to provide for his daughter.
