Speaking with Entertainment TonightPinkett Smith, 44, says: “Considering that Alabama had its highest recruitment for the KKK for Martin Luther King’s birthday, I hope that we as African-Americans can find a way to get along and step together.”;

“Here’s the deal,”; she continues. “This whole Oscars controversy isn’t really about the Oscars. Really, it’s my plea to ask our community, people of colour, to take back our power so that we can use it in all sectors of our community, and right now, specifically with African-American people, we have some very serious issues that we as a people have to move together on.”
