Al Sharpton Calls For Emergency Diversity Task Force Meeting After ‘Selma’ Oscar Snub

The movie “Selma” is already in the garbage can. It has failed miserably from both attendance and revenie flow!!! Actually the movie is very good.....but America has turned against African-Americans,

I can't understand why white people, after seeing thousands of news articles, opinion pieces and television shows pushing the "white people are racist and responsible for all evil" meme, don't feel like going to a theater for two more hours of "white people are racist and responsible for all evil" starring D'oprah Windbag. /s

The only mountains Al Sharpton ever climbed were those of his piles of extortion money and those on his “wife”.

Otherwise, he’s just another lowlander extortionist and fraud, and, oh, one of the top White House visitors. Wonder whose mountains he climbed there?

Being nasty sometimes is justified and this is one of them.

If I offended any leftists, tough shit. If I offended any decent women, you were not the target of my slings and arrows.

AL SHARPTON DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT LAST MONTH’S NOBEL LAUREATES IN PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY DID NOT INCLUDE ANY BLACKS! Mr. Sharpton now plans a million-yute march on Sweden and Norway to demand diversity in Nobel Prize recipients.

[MHT]

Yeah, and last year members of the “Academy” said off the record that they felt pressured to vote for “12 Years a Slave” or else be considered racist. Pendulum swinging....

[Paladin2]

Blacks don,t pay enough taxes....

[Graybeard58]

I have to give Al credit - that's actually pretty funny - as well as true. Get out the popcorn

He gets zero credit, $harpton's way too stupid to come up with something like that.

"The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon. That would be from John Favreau, Obama's speech writer and Hollyweird stooge.

black activists to Hollywood elites: “How does ya likes us now?”

[Rudder]

I can think of great “black” movies that I would love to see made. Mandingo comes to mind...

[dowcaet]

The fun aspect in all of this is that all of the movies were picked by white liberals in Hollywood. Oh man you’ve already heard the condemnation by the liberal drive by’s in the media. The minute Al and his race hustlers get to Hollywood the execs will grovel and give in to his demands for more diversity in films. Al is what he is but he knows that White liberals are his personal patsies and he’ll shake em down for a whole lot of ***t.

Hollywood is being #Fergusoned.

About time they reaped a little of what they have sown.

[billys kid]

I don’t get it! Does this mean I will not be able to flee Massachusetts and come your way?

[Tonytitan]

What is a “diversity emergency”?

[stylin19a]

the current Academy president is black. I wonder if this organization is private ?

[HotHunt]

"This was the second time since 2000 that no black actors or actresses were nominated for an Oscar."

Only twice in 15 years? With blacks making up only 13% of the entire US population? Doesn't seem out of line to me. And this warrants an EMERGENCY meeting of Sharpton's extortion task force? My, oh my. Al sees an opportunity to stick a gun in the ribs of the Academy Awards to relieve them of their wallets.

[CWW]

Total BS. Last year 12 Years a Slave one 3 Oscars, including Best picture. The year before, Octavia Spencer won best supporting actress in the help.

Cry me frickin' river, race-hustler Al!!

[Nuc 1.1]

I for one enjoyed No Good Deed. Well acted and entertaining. As for Sharpton, I think he is ill. Thin and getting thinner. Doesn’t seem to have affected his reasoning ability though.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Blacks must always win everything. Reparations.

[trebb]

Evidently Al didn't see the headline, "Tired of Race Baiters and Other Privileged Blacks Like Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton, 'Selma' Doesn't Sell - Doesn't Belong on the Screen, Much Less in the Oscars"

[BBB333]

Give The Artist a try.

It will make you feel very happy!
