I've got a question!

Do we still have the same respect for the Fresh Prince since he recognizes the problem but doesn't pull out of the movie?

This is not a loaded question. On the one hand he's being an armchair activist, but on the other, by staying in the racist Hollywood environment, he's a powerful black role-model.

Oops, I guess I just did a lot of the answering of my own question. D'oh!
