Mychal, you rock. Maybe during the droning tonight, it will be mandated that we all must watch, '12 years a slave', 'selma', 'do the right thing' and sit through the whole made up 'roots' series to prove we're not racist.

There have been a lot of these black guilt movies in recent years. Selma, 12 Years a Slave, The Butler come to mind. Is it really racist if they don’t win Academy Awards? I just don’t follow this. I’m sure all of us could make a long list of great movies we enjoy which never got Oscar nominations or won Oscars.
This whole thing is a made up controversy so that Al Sharpton can make a political statement.
To: rktman
Sharpton need not worry, there is a remake of an epic Black film that will surely win an Oscar next year for best pic...
To: rktman
I believe one major reason for this black racist uprising is to ensure that the Academy Award for Best Picture is awarded to “Selma” as a sop to the racists.
In effect the award for Best Picture will be stolen from “American Sniper” and will become the “Affirmative Action Award”, given to “Selma” to shut the blacks up and assuage white guilt in Hollywood.

What they have done is they have tainted all future black nominees with the brush of Affirmative Action and denigrated all future black artists and technicians as inferior and needing to be artificially elevated so that Negroes can feel good about themselves. They have, indeed, now affected the nomination process so that future nominators will feel they are voting for blacks in that affirmative action mode while telling themselves that the Negro nominees Really Are Good even if they are black.
Affirmative Action- Forever putting all Negroes in the Inferiority Box.

Can a group of people be so collectively mindless, so easily led through the nose, as to behave like windup robots?

Yep we have to kowtow to pressure groups tto prove we aren’t racist.
I remember there as some consternation the year Broke back Mountain was nominated for best picture. But it lost out to Crash. Some homosexual activists complained that Oscar voters didn’t vote for Brokeback due to the subject matter and that’s why it lost out.
I will never know if Brokeback was any good since I will never plan to see that moviem. Simply have no interest in this cowboy romance as they called it. Not that type of cowboy love story.

Selma has taken in $30MM which is about what Seth Rogan’s “Interview” did on Demand services.

I just dont follow thisDON'T follow that! It will lower your IQ and waste your energy. Just know that when liberals are involved prepare for the lowest denominator of human emotion! If you approach it that way at least it is somewhat entertaining!

We should have a rule that every oscar should have a black person nominated—and they should always win! that would end the Oscars as we know it and kill the moneies it makes. PC gone to its highest norm.
To: rktman
Until pro sports reflects our country’s demographics and has whites make up 60-70% of the players and blacks only 12%, I will not watch anymore games. That and other reasons.

The NBA is very racist, there should be at least 2 white guys on the floor at all times for any pro basketball team. No whites is very racist.

Maybe it isnt a good movie. You think? It depends on what the meaning of the word 'IT' is.
