Will Smith's big premiere for his Concussion film went down last night in Hollywood. We've got the hot pics of him and wife Jada, his reunion with Martin Lawrence, and his controversial words about racism....
Oh, Will.
Before walking down the red carpet at his big premiere last night, Will appeared on The Hollywood Reporter's annual actor roundtable where he explained the difference between race and prejudice. Interestingly, the Hollywood star gave some controversial comments about it all. Yes, even in a time of prevalent racism, police brutality and injustice, Will seems quite unclear about just HOW prevalent racism actually is.
"Everybody is prejudiced," he said. "Everybody has their life experiences that make them prefer one thing over another -- it makes them prefer blond hair over a brunette; if you see somebody with dark skin walking down the street, you have a different reaction than you have [with] someone who is 5-foot-1 and white."The word "racism," he said, implies something worse: the feeling that "your race generally is superior."

"And I have to say, I live with constant prejudice, but racism is actually rare -- someone who thinks their race is superior," Smith continued.
