Okay so Will Smith has not been in the news a lot lately and has he even done any acting of late? But he made the news today in my world when I saw a quote. Let me set the stage. This week I have seen so many viral videos of racists acting all superior on minorities. One lady, for daring to wear an American territorial flag in the USA, who knew Puerto Rico was not in America?  Timothy Trybus, allegedly is the drunken racist in the video says it is not. And the cop who stood by and watched him, and is now on desk duty, should be fired. (Or as I checked for the latest update, fearing his termination and protecting his pension, he has resigned instead. This way he can get another job in a different place and still claim to “serve and protect.”)Or the two white women acting as the neighborhood bigots welcomes a Hispanic family moving in across the street from them with a drunk attack on the nice people. They both got arrest. Then there was the grandmother who got all upset at being called a racist when she spotted a black child selling chocolate bars. As if that racist would have done the same for a white child. Then there were the two pool incidents, the first a white women claiming to be property manager attacked a black family for wearing socks in the pool. Okay weird behavior but you could still be polite about it and not a racist. Just saying that as friendly parting advice, she was fired from her job soon after the video went viral. It seems her company has a thing about having racists working for them. Or the other racist pool member on the board of regents, who demanded a women tell him her address even after she had a community card and going so far to call the police. The board fired him. Then to help him spend more time at Klan rallies, his company spotting his face, also fired him. It is bad public relations to employ someone that openly racist and that openly stupid on your pay roll. Now he can no longer afford to live in that nice area and might actually have to move to where those other people live… Gasp! Bye, enjoy the move. So on and on it went all week with the morning having some new video. Today’s video had a bit of a twist to it, in that some racist using the “N word” in Chicago on a small black woman. What he did not see was the biggest nightmare he could imagine in a very large African American who took exception to the racist rant and took off his glasses and proceeded to punch the asshole such that he fell to the floor and the when he again cursed the man he kicked him into the tracks of an oncoming “El” train. At that point the people pulled him out of certain death. See even those they would let him get the beat down he deserved, they figured he might learn from his racism and live to see the light of day once more. Now I do not condone violence of any sort. Because it leads to what also happened this week when a 92 year old Hispanic man, walking with the aid of walker accidentally touched a little girl on the sidewalk in front of her mother as he did his daily walk. The mother took a break and slammed it into his face. Then while he was left to rot on the ground a gang of youths came by and proceeded to viciously kick him more than a few times. He has now been released from hospital and is recovering at him. 92 years old. The attackers in this case were black. Racism is not only a white thing. It’s a thing and it has to stop.

This brings up my first comment by Will Smith. See I was getting despondent about the constant video assault, until I read his words. Now he may not be profane in much of what he says but this time? He hit a home run.

“Racism is not getting worse. It’s getting filmed.” -Will Smith

Amen Brother! It is getting filmed. Named and shamed and then we play the game. From holding a make shift Mariachi for New York racist lawyer Aaron Schlossberg, to having them fired, arrested or shamed in public. Racism is no longer tolerated. No longer accepted and will no longer be in the dark. Every cell phone has a video camera and you find a Wi-Fi spot nearly anywhere. Just film it and upload it and let the voice of the people name and shame ever last one of them.
