Racism ?
I would be insulted if I’m a talented actor like Denzel Washington. I would probably boycott.
Like I’ve said before, “racial justice” means “black supremacy”. For now. Until the white leftists no longer need the black shock troops and white guilt as their weapons.
We had friends from England visit and they wondered where all the black people were. All they saw overseas was American movies and TV full of black people.
They thought, for sure, America was an apartheid country with blacks in the majority.
Uh, take a look at government employment percentages.
Black people are vastly overrepresented in the government, especially the federal government.
The TSA brags that they are 50% non-white and pushing to go further.
If anyone thinks that “civil rights” and “affirmative action” were about colorblind merit based hiring and retention, they’re absurdly mistaken.
It was and is merely discrimination. Only this time with a new victim class: Caucasians.
Does anyone think that was the intent of the Founders when they started the country? Let’s build a government of outright hostility to our descendants?
Every Black is entitled to an Emmy, an Oscar, repose in the Capitol Rotunds on his or her demise, and a statue on some Conferate General’s empty pedestal. Make it so. Not enough aircraft carriers to go around.
Affirmative Emmy
Affirmative action. I don’t watch the thing and never will.
Am I allowed not to care? :)
13% of the population... 100% of the culture. Hmmmmmm .
Whats the proportion of LGBTQRSTUVs to normal people?
Think they will quit whining now?
Systemic, no question about it....
Reparations is a b*&^%!
Nobody deserves to get in the a*& more than Hollyweird’s white writers, producers, directors, actors and actresses.
Who is laughing more? China at America or blacks at liberal whites?
LOL - Affirmative action is running amuck in the way-out-of-proportion number of blacks in commercials and movie reviews are clearly inflated based upon the proportion of blacks in the cast as well as the story line.
It has reached an absurd and embarrassing level.
Part of what's happening is that the suits in these big companies have caved to the mob (and some of them, like Disney, have been leading the mob). The word has gone out from the suits to prioritize diversity. I don't have a sense of how toxic it's gotten -- here and there, white people are still being hired -- but clearly the industry is now far beyond quotas and into systematic anti-white discrimination. I suspect that the decision makers at Hulu or Miramax or HBO or Dreamworks or any of the myriad other operational units are being evaluated on their success in hiring anyone but white people. It doesn't matter if X is a brilliant young actress and script Y is perfect for her: if she's the wrong color, it's a hard sell, and potentially a career ender for people in management if the film doesn't work out.
In theory this should create opportunities for independent filmmakers who may be less vulnerable to corporate pressure. But Hollywood is now requiring diversity targets to qualify for Oscars, so there's a penalty if you don't knuckle under. And I'm concerned about the concentration of power in the distribution channels. Will independent films be able to get decent distribution deals and reach large audiences? Films are too expensive to be done on a samizdat basis. I'd like to think that a writer, director or producer with a good idea is still able to pitch the idea, attract financial backers, hire who he wants, make a good film without kowtowing to the race police, and still get it in play. But I'm starting to worry. I'd be happy to let the majors destroy themselves with political correctness, but if their corporate parents control the distribution, they may be able to block the competition.
