why might that be, in your view?

got any thoughts about your own thread?

[CosmicCowboy]

Affirmative action in the Oscars now? :rolleyes

Hell, most Oscar winning movies suck anyway.

[hater]

and this is threadworthy because?

[jeebus]

what a faggot ass thread

[Blake]

I can't believe they snubbed Kevin Hart and Tyler Perry again

[baseline bum]

The Oscars can go fuck off ever since they gave that piece of shit Forrest Gump best picture over Pulp Fiction. Even if you're a tasteless faggot who doesn't like Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption was still way better than Gump too.

Only because Forrest raised the AIDS baby.

[Spurminator]

Darrin once again wants everyone to know that the media is inflaming racial tension.

As for the Oscars, there weren't any movies to nominate this year about altruistic white people helping black people get a leg up (ex: Blind Side, The Help)

To let you know how VERY VERY important this issue is -- here's a satirical article on HuffPo

White Actors Shut Out At Blacademy Awards

Hollywood was abuzz this morning at the seeming snub of white actors at the announced nominations for the 87th Blacademy Awards. Across four acting categories, all twenty nominees were black.

"It's not that white actors weren't good enough," said a Blacademy spokesperson, "It's just that there were a lot of great performances by black actors this year. In fact, some very good black actors weren't even nominated. That's how you know it's not a race issue."

The Blacademy also pointed to last year, when a white actress, and a white screenwriter, both won awards. "That's proof that sometimes, a white person can win," the Blacademy spokesperson said.

Of the 6,000 members of the Blacademy, 90% are black, inducted for their outstanding work, as well as by recommendations from other Blacademy members.

One Blacademy member who requested to remain anonymous did however admit, "If Reese Witherspoon changes her name to Della Reese Witherspoon, next year she might have a shot."

Watch the Blacademy Awards on February 15th!

And lol @ Winehole not being able to infer my opinion

[Spurminator]

The people who are most concerned about the "black culture problem" should also be concerned that "black culture" is not being represented adequately in our most celebrated films, beyond the token annual racial piece.

Good art is good for culture. You believe black people have a culture problem but you're content with the fact that the only films marketed towards them by and large are Transformers, Fast/Furious franchises and Tyler Perry movies. There are a multitude of talented minority writers, directors and actors whose work fails to make a significant cultural impact because studios are still signing (and awards shows still celebrating) films written from an almost exclusively white perspective.

This is something you can't blame on the lazy minority who's not working hard enough. It's a very real ceiling. The Oscars are stupid, but awards season as a whole is a good litmus to diversity in film.

And lol @ Winehole not being able to infer my opinionlol @ your unwillingness to say what you mean

[TheSanityAnnex]

why might that be, in your view?



If you look at the actual percentage of blacks in Hollywood an all white Oscars should happen more frequently.

[Winehole23]

what's the percentage?

[Winehole23]

you seem to be suggesting African-Americans are overrepresented in the Oscars. are they?

[Winehole23]

I get that there's a social stigma attached to racism, but why should that bother anonymous posters?

Enough with the signal fires. Use your words. Be bold. Say what you really mean.

[Infinite_limit]

Wasn't 2014 "Blackest" oscars?

I dropped a loud "OH MY FKN GOD" as I ran on the treadmill when I saw "Developing Story. Al Sharpton calls for emergency meeting". The current discussion is racist against Whites.

[Infinite_limit]

you seem to be suggesting African-Americans are overrepresented in the Oscars. are they?
FUCK YA

Blacks represent 15% of the US population. They are badly over-represented in American mass media.

[Winehole23]

oh yeah? prove it.

[Infinite_limit]

oh yeah? prove it.
Prove what?

They appear in every other commercial, TV show and news telecast. It should be 1 out of every 10

[Winehole23]

weaksauce anecdotes. unsurprising.

just another unsuccessful white person looking to assign blame anywhere but themselves, imo.

DarrinS, still MIA in his own thread, still unwilling to say what his point is.
