Quvenzhané Wallis is black, and thus “protected”.
Why am I not surprised... why don't black parents name their kids John or Mary....??

I agree. However while channel surfing, I saw her being interviewed on the Red Carpet. Stopped to see what all the rave about her was about. She is a Brat. Is that acceptable?

Our culture is going to hit rock bottom sooner or later. It’s not far from it yet. Sooner or later? Really????? I think we hit rock bottom years ago and the carcass is at the bottom of a ravine rotting away creating a stench that pollutes the universe!
