Will Smith moves Emancipation filming out of Georgia over voting laws

The actor and the movie’s director Antoine Fuqua both supported the boycott that takes business out of the state.

Big Tech company Apple is making a motion picture about a runaway slave who fled his plantation in Louisiana after being excessively whipped. Emancipation is expected to tell the saga of the slave who makes his way north escaping the pursuit of slave hunters and an unsavory mother nature.

It was supposed to be a joint venture between Antoine Fuqua’s company and Will Smith’s Westbrook joint.

However both Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua came out for this statement as to why their Emancipation project was leaving Georgia:

“At this moment in time, the Nation is coming to terms with its history and is attempting to eliminate vestiges of institutional racism to achieve true racial justice. We cannot in good conscience provide economic support to a government that enacts regressive voting laws that are designed to restrict voter access. The new Georgia voting laws are reminiscent of voting impediments that were passed at the end of Reconstruction to prevent many Americans from voting. Regrettably, we feel compelled to move our film production work from Georgia to another state.”

It’s all over the election law boycott dispute that enveloped the state as a result of political leadership passing new voting laws that some said were restrictive. Even though a lot of the concessions made for the COVID pandemic weren’t meant to be permanent.

It was a measure that President Biden called “Jim Crow on steroids.” He managed to push the MLB All-Stars game out of the state. Something that Coca-Cola got wrapped up in. The partisan measure damaged black-owned business which the Left claimed they were fighting in the name of. Even Stacy Abrams got on her knees and begged.

All the meanwhile the MLB had no problem continuing business with the Communist Party of China. That’s because partisan politics are hypocritically geo-centric like that.
