snippet from your link..

"Smith agreed and continued with his analogy, saying he appreciates that America's problems with systemic racism are on the table. "I view that in the same way as Jada and I had to work on things in our marriage. When the truth comes out and it gets on the table, you have to confront what's real. It sucks," said Smith. "I think there's an opportunity more than ever for a level of understanding that we've never had before."

Thanks for this, Effie
