The Rev. Al Sharpton was left fuming mad after the Oscars revealed its all-white list of nominees for this year's Oscar awards on Thursday.
"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.
"I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards," he said.

Al Sharpton trolling for more Extortion Dollars he won't have to pay taxes on....
Lots of big-names Dems and Black Racists invested in making "Selma", and that money is now at risk.
This movie was supposed to kick off a modern "Black Revival" (for Democrat votes), just before the start of Hillary's campaign announcement. It isn't working out that way.

Only if people are united, strong and firm in their rejection of clowns like Sharpton. We no longer have the aforementioned virtues and are flaccid, sick and weak.

I haven’t cared about Academy awards in many years. I don’t bother to watch much of the crap they trot out, so I do not care about it at all.

Hey, they give out Nobel Peace Prizes for absolutely no reason other than satisfying racial quotas. Should the Academy Awards be any different?
