Doesn’t Charlotte Rampling know about Oscar Affirmative Action?

I agree completely. Having said that, I hope she’s prepared for the tsunami headed her way. Batten down the hatches!

British liberal weighing in on a stupid superficial issue when her country has gone down the drain over the last 20 years when she does nothing.

And Charlotte Rampling? Oh the optics on this...

If anyone even knows who she is anymore, which I doubt anyone who would care about this “controversy” would.

Thank you.

Not only that, creating rules to ‘ensure black actors are nominated’ is incredibly insulting to blacks in general, as it would imply they can’t do it on merit alone.

And more than that, when a great black actor gets an award on merit alone it would be forever tainted as the ‘token winner’ and doubts would remain on he/she winning the award based on merit, or based on ‘affirmative action’

A rule ‘to ensure black nominations’ is just another example of a centralized ‘nanny state’ or central elitist planning, which will cause more problems that it purports to solve.

I have met people that think one can not be racist because they are non-white. This is far from the truth.

Just look at our Universities, where meetings and rallies are held, supposedly ‘against racism’, and on the door it says ‘whites are not allowed in’

White actors should show up in blackface to show solidarity. I wonder how that would go over?

Rich people fighting over statues so they can be super rich people. And almost all of them are liberal morons.

The Oscar house is on fire. Where’s the gasoline?

Charlotte Rampling just set herself up for an endless steam of Liberal bashing. She will never work in that town again.

Good for her speaking the truth though!

And, of course, Miss Rampling is absolutely right about that.

I adore Charlotte Rampling. “The Night Porter” w/ her & Dirk Bogarde is incredible. I think it took an amazing amount of courage to say what she said. She has always marched to the beat of her own drum........the faux outrage that she dared to speak her mind won’t faze her.

Movie goddess, style goddess.....JE T’AIME Charlotte!
