Will Smith goes batshit insane, says Hitler was essentially a "good person."

Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person.
(Advertisement)

The Men In Black star, 39, is determined to see the best in people, and is convinced the former German leader did not fully understand the extent of the pain and suffering his actions would cause during his time in power in the 1930s and '40s.

He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'.

"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."

Hitler's totalitarian leadership as Fuhrer during 1934 until his eventual suicide in 1945 resulted in the persecution of an estimated six million Jews in the Holocaust, and his invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the start of the Second World War.


I lol'd.

no not lil willy from philly.

In all honesty, its a different perspective too look at a situation. I actually salute will for thinking outside the box in a society that persecutes creative thinking. I'ms sure he knew what he would say would be torn apart by the media. I salute him for having the balls to say what he feels.

I also salute hiler for being a smart leader. what he did is truly incredible for a human being to do.

He's kind of right though, with the 2nd quote. Look at George Bush.


I wouldn't agree that he was "essentially a good person"... jeez


Posted by RJT on Dec-24-2007 19:27:

Yeah - I don't think what he said is really all that crazy from the standpoint that he's trying really, really hard to find the good in everyone - but for someone who's as public a figure as he is to say something so obviously inflammatory seems pretty thick.

Plus, I don't think it would be too hard to argue that Hitler was a pretty bad person.


Posted by Fast Turtle on Dec-24-2007 19:27:

yeah totally, i mean, everyone is basically doing what they're doing intending to help humanity or at least themselves, very few people get up in the morning and say, "how can i make myself least satisfied and most fucked over today"

I can see where this is going already - countless internet threads with people trying really, really hard to figure out all the good things Hitler did.



This should be awesome.

Lil' Willy realized that his "I'm a Legend" is about to become a legendary box office bomb (not in a good way) and felt compelled to stir shit up to create controversy and possibly stir more folks to see his shitflicks.

I say give this n*gga some Klan threads, ne needs to go up in da hood (Klansman hood, that is).

and to think I actually admired the guy. First Mel, now Wil. WTF is in that wacky Hollywood water?

Posted by wizniz on Dec-24-2007 19:41:

I agree with him... :cringe:

He was probably taken a bit out of context because a statement like that calls for a lot of explanation but in essence.. he's right as much as we don't like to believe it.


The world isn't black and white... and it's dangerous to mingle among the shades of gray.

Posted by Clovis on Dec-24-2007 19:43:

I think the first 2 posts in this thread pretty much sum it up nicely.


Posted by DigitalPhoenix on Dec-24-2007 19:44:

oh no u dint!


Posted by bas on Dec-24-2007 19:44:

I don't think he said Hitler was a good person at all.

You know, I would like to see the full content of this discussion/interview/whatever it was. Because it's one thing to say this:

quote:

He says, "Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'Let me do the most evil thing I can do today'.

"I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'. Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."


And have it interpreted as this:

quote:

Will Smith has stunned the world by declaring that even Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was essentially a "good" person.

You wouldn't believe how many African-American kids I've seen with that stache in the Bronx, it's ridiculous. He must be sniffing that top quality that a powerful scientologist like him & Tom would have access to.

This reminds me of what I was trying to get at by posting this:



Not that "Hitler was a good person," because he wasn't. He did some of the most evil things a person can do and seemed to feel no remorse. I think that Smith may have had something like the following in mind, but ended up putting it in a really fucking clumsy way:

The Nazis were not some kind of "robots" or "demons" made of pure evil. They were just human beings. They loved their kids and their parents and their wives and their pets like everybody else. They felt the thrill of great music and great art. They enjoyed a nice afternoon relaxing in the country as much as anyone. They celebrated Christmas and were probably kind to each other during the holiday season. Lots of them probably even gave to charity.

And yet they still did what they did. That, to me, is much scarier than the idea that they were just some sort of "killing machines," which is sort of how they are portrayed a lot of the time. That a group of people can be "normal" and even genuinely kind to their own but horrifically murderous to others.

But most of the time people prefer to distance themselves from the horror by talking as if all the Nazis ever thought about was killing killing killing. As if they weren't even human. But they were.
