In this video we use at Will Smith's recent public meltdown as a jumping off point to look at some challenges of black boyhood and how the constant barrage of trauma affects even the most successful and outwardly charming and charismatic black men. To do this we will be looking at Belair the reimagining of Will Smith's star making show "The Fresh Prince of Belair" as well as shows like Atlanta and numerous other figures and stories pertinent to the issue.
