'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Aunt Viv Rips Jada Pinkett Smith ... 'Shut Up and Let Will Speak for Himself'
ill Smith's old 'Fresh Prince' co-star is on the attack ... saying he and Jada Pinkett Smith are NOT the Obamas, and black Hollywood isn't gonna sing "we shall overcome" with them.
Janet Hubert, the original Aunt Viv, blasted Jada's anti-Oscars stance with a rambling video post that started ... "First of all, Miss Thang, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?" Hubert goes on to accuse the Smiths of being sore losers, and says there are way more important things going on in the world -- "Our boys are being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are trying to pay bills and you talking about some motherf***ing actors and Oscars."

Want an Oscar? Make better movies.
She was booted off the show, wonder if she and Smith have a long histry of animosity toward each other.
Has Carlton weighed in yet?
I'm rather surprised he didn't.
“Ride Along” took over the box-office from Star Wars:
Heard outside the “cina-plex”: “Oh my God, we have to go see a black movie this weekend because Spike Lee might think we are a racist.”
Metro-sexuals/millenials/PajamaBoys influenced by Spike Lee. We are F**king DOOOOOOMED!
He’s a pretty decent actor and I used to like him until he started spouting off his views, then she started spouting off her views and then their weirdo kids started showing up.
Want an Oscar? Make better movies.”””
Affirmative
Action hiring has caused enough problems in the USA.
NOW-—they want to be assured of AWARDS for whatever work they do?
There is no limit to their arrogance & stupidity.
Now- I have another reason to NEVER attend a movie dominated by blacks.
No, he is not black.
I guess we need a "Math is Hard" Black Barbie now...
There were definitely several Oscar worthy black performances this past year that weren’t nominated. “Beasts of no nation” was a tour de force performance by Idris Elba. Gorgeous cinematography also.
I suspect the lack of nominations is more inside baseball, rather than actual racism.
Oh hell no! He's got a great gig hosting Funniest Home Videos and he aint gonna jack that up.
Sounds like something I'd say. But then, I revel in sarcasm.
Cue up the Stones You Can't Always Get What You Want
The Congressional Black Caucus is not amused.
:: I think Hillary did a fantastic performance in “Secretary of State” ::
Seriesly?
When you get up in the morning, do you want to roll-over and see Tea Leoni or Hillary Clinton?
I listened to the video, and she made sense. She started talking to Jada P. Smith, and ended up talking to Will Smith, who did not say anything. In fact, she asked Jada if he was capable of speaking for himself. So I suspect, that there is some animus between them. I liked what she said, admire her courage to say it publicly, and appreciate that she realizes that Actors/Actresses exist to entertain. When you become political, people stop judging your acting, and start judging the actor. It has ended many a career. Just sayin....
Chi-Raq was awful, Samuel Jackson in H8ful 8 had the same attitude as every other SJ movie and Creed was just another Rocky sequel. And since when are Oscars given for cable movies like Beasts of No Nation? Good efforts, but I would not use the word “snub”. If you want more nominees, give black actors better roles.
