"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.

Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood, also announced he was holding an "emergency meeting" next week to address the issue.

Selma will win best picture. Hollywood will not miss the chance to have a stage full of leftists saying “hands up don’t shoot”.

Not worth talking about!!! Obama, Soros, Sharpton, Holder, De Blasio, the CBC, The NAACP & the “Obamabot” Democrat Party have isolated African-Americans in an isolated land all by themselves!!! And.....these folks have helped these shysters do it!!! A severe culture change is needed. Remember a great gent called Reverand, Martin Luther King. None of those low lifes listed above can hold a candle next to MLK!!! American Blacks....lost at sea, for many years to come!!! Wise up, Black folk....you have been had by your low lifes & yourselves!!!

Is it possible that the movie is just not that good, Al?

The lead actor was great in Spooks/MI5

Start with why the actors in the big black films are from Britain.

Ditto for the big white films, but if your pitch is depicting the Afro-American experience, why all the Afro-Britons?

America doesn’t want to see an over-fed sow on screen = no female black stars, as the TV show black females illustrate.

TV’s free. Movies aren’t. Message there, IMHO.

No its not a joke. And the hatred will grow at an astronomical rate because good people allow it.

Its our Arab Spring and its not going away. Except its not Arabs that are killing and attacking good people.
