I said this someplace else, the only solution is the Black Only Academy Awards, voted on by the black and minority members of the Academy and it can be shown on BET.
Problem solved. They already have the BET Black Awards for Entertainment so this is just an extension of that.

The race-industrial complex now thinks that should happen every year. Yes, I think it goes like this:
"So, 'Twelve Years a Slave' won, are you happy now?"
"Nope."
"You need more wins?"
"Damn straight!"
"I suppose you think 12% of all Oscars should go to blacks?"
"Man, that's not enough!"
"What?? You want to win 50% of the awards??"
"No, man, of course not!"
"Well, that's a relief!"
"We want to win all the time! Every award! Because we're better than you!"

None of this would be happening if that shop clerk in Switzerland had let Oprah handle the $38,000 purse.

It ws good that I haven’t cared about the Academy Awards for over 20 years.
Making Selma a winner won’t change the fact that nobody wants to watch it!

Affirmative action comes to the movies. Great! Why didn’t the woman just say the truth which is that every year is different. Last year there were a lot of blacks up for stuff this year not so much. She should just say stay tuned for next year.
