Mychal, you rock. Maybe during the droning tonight, it will be mandated that we all must watch, '12 years a slave', 'selma', 'do the right thing' and sit through the whole made up 'roots' series to prove we're not racist.

There have been a lot of these black guilt movies in recent years. Selma, 12 Years a Slave, The Butler come to mind. Is it really racist if they don’t win Academy Awards? I just don’t follow this. I’m sure all of us could make a long list of great movies we enjoy which never got Oscar nominations or won Oscars.

This whole thing is a made up controversy so that Al Sharpton can make a political statement.

Sharpton need not worry, there is a remake of an epic Black film that will surely win an Oscar next year for best pic...

I believe one major reason for this black racist uprising is to ensure that the Academy Award for Best Picture is awarded to “Selma” as a sop to the racists.

In effect the award for Best Picture will be stolen from “American Sniper” and will become the “Affirmative Action Award”, given to “Selma” to shut the blacks up and assuage white guilt in Hollywood.

What they have done is they have tainted all future black nominees with the brush of Affirmative Action and denigrated all future black artists and technicians as inferior and needing to be artificially elevated so that Negroes can feel good about themselves. They have, indeed, now affected the nomination process so that future nominators will feel they are voting for blacks in that affirmative action mode while telling themselves that the Negro nominees Really Are Good even if they are black.

Affirmative Action- Forever putting all Negroes in the Inferiority Box.

Can a group of people be so collectively mindless, so easily led through the nose, as to behave like windup robots?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Selma has taken in $30MM which is about what Seth Rogan’s “Interview” did on Demand services.

[Resolute Conservative]

Until pro sports reflects our country’s demographics and has whites make up 60-70% of the players and blacks only 12%, I will not watch anymore games. That and other reasons.

How many more Affirmative Action actors and directors does Hollywierd need?

[Licensed-To-Carry]

The NBA is very racist, there should be at least 2 white guys on the floor at all times for any pro basketball team. No whites is very racist.

[N. Theknow]

Well, so much for that “content of character” thing.

[Boogieman]

“Are we on the cusp of the “outstanding black whatever” awards?”

Yes, would they be satisfied if we just reserved one award for a black person every year? We could call it the “token” Oscar.
