Gerald Molen, a voting member of the Academy who earned a best picture Oscar for producing Schindler's List, has some very choice words for the "spoiled brats" who are crying racism over the lack of diversity in the nominations this time around.
"There is no racism except for those who create an issue. That is the worst kind. Using such an ugly way of complaining," Molen told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday.

I reckon Lee, Moore, and the Smiths are all used to getting awards for such things like staying on the potty until they are done poopin’. Smells just like what the spoiled little brats are made of.

You neglected to check out the cast of characters for Jurassic Park, Twister, Rain Man, Minority Report, he executive produced 2016: Obama’s America, I did, and you should, it shows that your comments are short sighted, and ill conceived.
Someone on the radio said to give all the nominees a participation trophy just like they do for the little kids. Problem solved.
Award the black oscars now, make the movies later. Or just have Black Oscars; hell, they already have black proms, black graduations, black professional organizations, what’s one more?
Ideally, the little inside their own industry awards will get shoved back into anonymity where they belong. No reason for the big spectacle, Other professions have their award ceremonies and nobody notices except those involved. This is how it should be for entertainers as well. They are rendering their awards meaningless as a guideline to which might be the best movies to see.
It may not be true but I heard Steve Harvey will be replacing Gris Rock as Host for the “Oscars!
Gris=Cris.
Opps , Steve Harvey slip!

Now they can say “...and the biggest whiner is”
LOL, when you think about it, that's probably a darn good thing for black people.
