I find it hilarious.
“Greenbook” was a very well acted/produced/written movie about racism based on a real person.
Emulate that and you might get some attention.
Actually blacks attacked “Greenbook”, because it portrayed the “White Savior”.
Actually...When award nominations are announced, MOST ALL in the media study the demographic groups of the nominees instead of the quality of their work.
It's turned into an affirmative action awards show, nothing about quality even matters any more. It's a joke, farcical.
“using the issue to try a get “stuff” without earning it”
Couldn’t agree more.
Back in the 90s I had a black supervisor that took disciplinary Action a black female co-worker in my shop.
After, she ran around for weeks accusing him of racism.......a black woman accusing a black man of racism......that makes a lot of sense.
It was at that time I realized the accusation of racism is nothing more than an attempt to gain leverage in any given situation when there is no other valid argument.
Since that the accusation or racism means nothing to me.
Minority whining is starting to become intolerable. They want us to kiss their asses every damn day.
It’s really gotten old, hasn’t it? 🙄
They probably didn’t like “Amistad” either because John Quincy Adams was an old White guy from MA.
All the abolitionists were all white people too.
Or a third rate production played on BET.
Yep! And I, as well as untold millions of great Americans, could care less about the complaints of racism.
Fourteen percent identify as Black but you wouldn’t know it from the exposure in media and entertainment, trends or urban politics. We need balance and accountability. Hollywood is legendarily racist but that doesn’t mean that’s why this film didn’t get nominated. It wouldn’t be the first buzzword project to be snubbed.
It’s basically a high school popularity contest. No one cares if you or you movie were not nominated. Make good flicks and people will come to see them. Howard Hawks directed many many great flicks and never won an Oscar. I doubt it bothered him nor did he ever cry discrimination as he was an evil white man.
Who could forget Muncie, the four-speed who carried the load of countless V-8s? Or the 727 Torqueflight? And then there is the venerable Allison, who rose to fame in heavy industry. Then there was Green Dot, the funny little three-speed with a diverse shift range.
Indeed it's inescapable.
I don't do hulu, but if I did I would cancel over this. The ads alone make me ill.
Whites, lots of them Jewish, are still the majority in Hollyweird.
It seems to me that as woke as they are, they would be handing out these Oscars affirmative action style a long time ago.
Waah! My dreck didn’t get nominated!!! You’re all WACIS’!!!!
I suspect a lot of blacks won’t be happy until they keep all whites as SLAVES for 200 years. And they wouldn’t be happy then because their plantations would fail....
