Hollywood (United States) (AFP) - African-American civil rights groups plan to protest outside Sunday's Oscars show, where every single one of this year's 20 acting nominees is white.
However small, the demonstration will revive debate about diversity at the Oscars-awarding Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, whose voting members are overwhelmingly white and with an average age in their 60s.
"The goal of the protest is to send a message to the Academy, send a message to Hollywood, send a message to the film industry," said Earl Ofari Hutchinson, head of the LA Urban Policy Roundtable group.

Those gold statuettes are bigots!
Ban Oscar racism now!
Celebrity Lives Matter
How many whites were nominated for BET awards?
“Just what we need. As if Hollywood wasnt bad enough now we will have affirmative action Oscars.”
Well, it isn’t as bad as affirmative action in medical schools. At least poor-quality movie can’t kill you.
Maybe the Oscars are WET ( White Entertainment Television ) /s
“The name Oscar by itself is raciss”
Then by all means let us rename it the Tyrone.
Anyway, the occasion will be black radicals on the outside, white liberals inside.
The world’s biggest Oreo!
;^)
Good! I am all for it. White liberals and black thugs deserve each other.
Yeah, Gimme dat award fo me talent an achievements , or I riot an loot...
Oh don't worry...that's coming
I believe the tactic is if you raise enough "hub-bub" that the people with MONEY will pay you and your organization to "go away" and "cool it."
Has anyone WHITE complained that there are far too many blacks on the field in the NFL or the NBA?
This is nothing more than Sharpton's "shake-down" tactics and business as usual for the gang of race baiting a$$holes seeking a PAYOUT... not equality.
If the n...... Afros can have their own history month, why not their own rastafarian? Have you ever met a black named oscar?
I agree with my blick bros, we need to protest, and burn down hollyweeds. Power to the peeps.
Does anybody even watch the Oscars?
I used to watch the Odd Couple.
It is beyond sad to me that most whites are so kowtowed about race they not only won't defend themselves but won't even defend their families or children. They act as if they deserve some sort of punishment for being white. The most defensive statement you generally hear from them is some type of weak kneed reaction like "I am not a racist" Going on offense? That is out of the questions even though it is being used successfully as a battering-ram to manipulate and destroy us.
If it is dog shit bad then it is not recognized. Well the folks who do this identification, almost all liberals, did not find any "black" movies worth recognizing this year.
Nor did the people with their movie going dollars display a big liking to any black movies this year.
Time to get out the pooper scoopers and get on with the world of make believe.
LOL!
They’re whiter than sour cream!
