NBC’s Al Sharpton, President Obama’s go-to man on race and the ring-leader behind the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown race hoaxes, is furious over the Oscar nominations and has called for an emergency meeting in Hollywood to extort money address the issue.
“The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets,” America’s top tax-cheat declared, ” I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards.”
Because Sharpton and Obama never fail to work in tandem, the President is hosting a White House screening of “Selma” Friday.
Much is being made of the fact that the not-very-good Civil Rights drama “Selma” received only two Oscar nominations: Best Song and Best Picture. Also, not a single one of the 20 Best Actor nomination slots went to a black actor.

Look it’s obvious that the only solution like other things, is to have the Black only Oscars.
It would solve so many things and could be run by the NAACP and shown on the BET channel. Problem solved and no more worries about diversity.
Shakedown we much!
Should be checking into Tawana Brawley.
of that be assuredified!!
Go pound sand, Al.
This man has entirely too much time on his hands.
He will never give up trying to turn 18% of this country against the rest, and to start a war.
"Dey sayin' blacks ain't got no talent? Ain't dey nevuh seen Jay Z?"
It’s only 12%, actually.
“Sharpton Demands Emergency Race Meeting”
holder to investigate no doubt.
He looks like a Human PEZ dispenser
