Will Smith Sees The 'Good' in Hitler??? WTF??

WSMITH091207_15.jpg
Will Smith may be the current box office hero, but in an interview with The Daily Record, the current US box office champ and all around nice guy may be pissing off a lot of people by proclaiming that he can see the good in the world's most notorious villain: Adolf Hitler.

Course, we don't really think Will meant that he in anyway admired Hitler, just that all people start out basically good. But Will's certain to catch heat on this comment, just as he did years ago, at the beginning of his acting career, when he made some comments that could be interpreted as homophobic about his onscreen kiss with another man in Six Degrees of Separation!



I bet Will's reps are gonna be out there doing damage control on this statement faster than you can say "negative publicity".

I read the interview...

An incredibly dumb comment...why even bring up Hitler in any comparison of someone not meaning to do anything bad? That is a stupid and unwinnable comparison to make...anyone that deliberately kills 10s of millions of people cannot be doing what he "thought was good".

A Hitler comment is like touching the 3rd rail...just don't even go there. Here is a tip for any one in public life...there are some things that are fine to talk about...anything even remotely resembling anything that could be construed as excusing Hitler, is a very dumb idea, and will only bring you scorn.

I don't think Smith was trying to commend him or anything, I just think it was an incredibly stupid comparison to try and make and as a result he looks very stupid, even if he didn't mean anything by it.

I commend Will for his comment. I think there is good in everyone. Not to get preachy but if you believe in God you will know that God created mankind he didn't create evil. He created us all good. There is good in Hitler, there is good in the KKK, there is good in people who raped and killed slaves. There is also good in the people who are so consumed with anger that they feel like they want to rip anyone apart because they don't agree with them, there's even good in the people at x17 who knowing tries to destroy the reputation and credibility of hardworking entertainers. There's good there-people you just have to find it, first within yourselves then in others.

Merry Christmas

There's good in child rapists and murderers too, I guess. They deserve to DIE, however "good" YOU think they are, "Someone you should know" 2:16.
Just let them kill one of YOUR loved ones and we will see just how "good" you think they are.
Ass Hole.

Simple minds. I think Will is trying to say that even when someone does something totally reviling, it's not usually apparent to them. Even serial killers have the ability to rationalize their wickedness. They fool themselves into believing they are performing a good for society. It's called psychosis. Will is not saying that Hitlers' actions were good. He's saying that Hitler thought his actions were good.

The Muslim's who flew the planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania killing 3,000 people were "good" too.
You people are morons.

If you are a deep thinker, you will understand what he was trying to say. All he was saying is that Hitler's twisted brain allowed him to believe he was doing some good, but instead, he was doing some of the most twisted, perverse stuff ever seen! Most of history's greatest villains started out with good intentions, but got lost along the way! If you can't understand this, then you are lacking the ability to understand human nature and how twisted it can become. Kind of like 'We can build a perfect utopian world....... we just need to kill off half the population to do it.'

He is so cute!I like him so much!I saw he appeared on "Rich cupids.com" with his vlog.

What he means is there is good in everyone. even if Hitler was a massive killer he still had some good in him. Even though it may sound untrue and very offensive. I think he only hated Jews and Homosexuals not Blacks but in the end we all know Hitler was a dummy dummies always fail in the end. As for the Muslims I don't think they are all bad people i mean just because you are going to judge all of them based on what happen on 9/11 that's messed up. That is like saying all Germans love Hitler.

Posted by: that Muslim comment was really ignorant.


God forbid you actually go and read what he actually said. He went on to say that Hitler was a twisted sick individual who did horrible things, so please get a clue. It is also interesting that in trying to put him down for things he didn't say most of you resorted racist rants yourselves. But I'm sure you're not evil or anything....

Posted by: get a clue


A good actor must find the "good" in any person, no matter if that person is a criminal or a saint. You must find the good in people so you can personified a real caracther not a cliche.- Smith strike me as a very good person and I'm sure he didn't mean anything bad with that statement.

He is a cuttie. He is also a playboy. I saw his profile on millionaire&celeb dating site CelebMingle.com last week.
It is said he is only interested in dating young beautiful girls on that site

I am 2:16 I was starting to get frustated here, it was like being trapped in a cave talking to myself. Then I read 2:25,5:04,7:56,8:00, and 8:44 and it was like suddenly hearing a voice on the other side of the cave. No, I am not actually in a cave, x17 (next thing you know they'd be making a headline "Caveman blogs!").

To 2:25 (first one) you don't know anything about me. You have no idea if any of that stuff's ever hapened to. I am not stupid I know people do bad things but we weren't born evil. Anger like yours can corrupt an otherwise good person.

Will's view is very biblical. As a pastor, I commend him for his deep thoughts. Biblical view of "good vs. evil" is much more profound than what most Americans are exposed to these days.

Most wars in the world started out by those who thought they are righteous and just. That includes Bush.

When conpiring to kill Jesus, the Jewish leaders thought they were doing good things(In Gospel of Matthew, they argued, "If we let Jesus live, the Romans will come and take our land.")

Posted by: Tomcat


And such is the irony of humanity. That we intend to do good things, only to yield evil in the end.

Ever since the original sin came into the world, whatever we do apart from God turns into evil.

The reason why Hitler got so much support from the Germans is because he convinced them what he proposed was good. He would not have been elected, if the Germans felt that what he planned was evil.

And believe it or not, that's exactly what Bush is doing today with the American people.

will, you really think that hitler woke up with the intention of doing something good? give me a f----- break! you are a moron.

Posted by: Anonymous


It doesn't matter. The media will never cover this (X17 isn't real media). It would be considered politically incorrect to hold a black man accountable for comments like that. If he was white, his career could very well be over. Just watch - NOTHING will come of this.

To "Anonymous", you are the moron. Stop insulting good people, just because their mental capacity is far greater than yours.

Will Smith needs to sit his big giant dumb ass down and think before he speaks. Yes there may be a certain amountof good ineveryone but trust me all the good was lost aftre Hitler killed ove a million jews. Will want's to be intellectual maybe he should research before he comments. Dumb ass

Posted by: hey girl


I swear u ppl need to read or learn how to read. He didnt say he was good. What he is trying to say is that everybody has a reason for doing something. In Hitler's mind Hitler thought he was good and was doing good. Will never said he was good or his actions were good. Get a clue!

I heard this news earlier from another place. It seems that people are all interested in him. No wonder so many people discussing it at interracialloves.com

Bravo! Smith is a man of great wisdom and clearly can think for himself. It's time to stop the endless vilification of one man...used to hide the evil horrors perpetrated by world zionism and the rest of the WWII 'Allies' who were nothing less than a globalist cartel of gangster, bankster, genocidal criminal maniacs who literally funded and encouraged Hitler from day one. I'm going to email Will Smith to praise him for his courage and his ability to deny and reject the brainwashing for the global elite. Again, I say Bravo! to Will Smith...a great American and a great man.

Will Smith is being brain-washed by the Scientology Society. The fact is this. Everyone is instilled with the knowledge of good and bad. Free-will demands that a person choose either to do good or to do bad things. Hitler was well aware of the choices and the circumstances, Hitler was not a stupid man, he was highly educated and knew exactly what he was doing. Hitler CHOOSE to do the evil thing. Period. To think the world is any different than that ... people constantly making the choice between good and bad ... is to be either blind or gullible or both.

HERE is my response to that:
God created us with the evil inclination in order to give us an oppurtinity of overcomiing it - by overcoming it - we create goodness

by overcoming the urge to kill and destroy we force the evil inclination to serve a very good purpose

g-d DID creat evil (with a very clear- and you can say good purpose) so that it would tempt man and thereby promp him to overcome the temptation thereby bring out qualities in him that would otherwise not be accessible

Proof - the story of adam and eve the serpent is the personification of the evil inclination within us and the forbidden status of the fruit is the temptation now it is up to adam and even to rise to the occasion or plummet to the valley floor... and they plummetted

We are all born with the capacity for evil - but it is up to us to use our free choice and not act on our evil impulses.

This article is misleading. Will Smith didn't say anything about seeing "good" in Hitler. He just commented that people who do evil things (like Hitler) don't view their actions as evil.
Hitler hated the jews, and constructed a sick ideology to try and justify his hatred. In his delusional mind, the jews were evil sub-humans that needed to be done away with for the good of Germany. That's not saying he was right, or that his idea of what was good for Germany was correct, it's just pointing out a pretty obvious fact.

Yeah, good for the Germans. Not so good for everyone else.

i doubt he ment there was good in hitler from what i've seen it's more like "people never knowingly do wrong". hitler did terrible things but im sure hitler didn't see it that way. Not to say it isn't a stupid name to bring up in the situation regardless but still it's being made into way to big a deal.

Posted by: yoto


he didn't say that why don't you read the fucking interview before you spread shit like this

People need to get a grip. The reality is Hitler was not the devil. People react to any mention of his name like a vampire would react to a cross. It is all very irrational. His comments were simply common sense. Does anyone believe hitler believed himself to be evil and reveled in it. Why is saying this is not how it was controversial? Is our society made up of adults or children.
i would also like to say that certain people do not have the right not to be offended. This political correctness is insane. Why is the holocaust always about the only thing that ever gets brought up in relation to Hitler? They killed a lot more people than just jews, but no one seems to care too much about that. Also atrocities and so called "war crimes" were committed on both sides, including the allied powers. The commies are responsible for WAY more deaths than HItler ever was, also.

When you start talking about Hitler, you are dealing with a subject that even some of the best scholars on the subject are left totally perplexed! They can't even agree on whether he was partly Jewish or not, virtually everything about his motives is conjecture. The very recent documentary about what remains of Hitler's relatives is a case in point, they are hiding their existence under assumed identities, saying as little as they can, even to the people making the documentary and apparently they are not having any children, hoping the family of Hitler will just die off! Hitler is very much an enigma for the ages, when you start talking about him publicly you are leaving yourself open to controversy. He was evil, no doubt, millions died because of him, why he really did all this, even the scholars don't know for sure and just may never know!
