Preferential treatment has trumped merit. It’s the natural consequence of things like affirmative action.

It's called "The Arts" for a reason. No nomination means you have none! Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Thus speak the professionals of the perpetually aggrieved minority. poor, poor babies. You didn;t get any nominations because you aren't relevant. Got that?

One of these days, Hollywood might make a movie documentary about Robert Smalls.

His mid-19th century history (a black American in slavery days) is incredible.

” “This is unjust, to see the lack of African Americans in the presentation. So we’re mad! We’re upset!”

He stressed that there are “so many” actors from various ethnics and racial groups.”

Time for whites and other “ethnic” groups to protest, the NBA and NFL. It seems racist that most of those athletes seem to be black and they only represent about 15% of the population.

Who gives a rat's hindquarters about the Oscars? I certainly don't.On those *incredibly* rare occasions when a movie comes along that I think I'll enjoy I rent it,borrow it from my town's library or buy it...I *never* go to theaters.That's the extent of the interest I have in Hollywierd and its “stars”.

Exactly. Sharpton is looking for another revenue stream. Says he’s going to sponsor a Black Academy Awards ceremony.

"There is an invisible ceiling over their heads, that the Academy has put there"

Complain to the president of the Academy's Oscars committee...who happens to be a black woman.

They should produce these black centric movies, which means raise the money, hire the people, organize the shoot and post production, book the theaters, etc. themselves, then.

Do we complain that not enough whites are represented in the BET awards?
