About this Quote

In this quote, Will Smith is addressing the problem of unfavorable stereotypes surrounding black fathership. He acknowledges that there is a widespread story in the media that portrays black daddies as absent or reckless. Nevertheless, he argues that this is not reflective of the truth he sees amongst his own pals and peers. Smith believes that there are lots of black fathers who are actively associated with their kids's lives and are doing an excellent job as parents, yet their positive actions are not given the exact same attention and acknowledgment as unfavorable portrayals. He questions why this is the case and highlights the requirement for more favorable representation of black fathership in the media.
