A little research reveals our old friend Whoopi Goldberg (net worth 60 million) was one of the producers.....

Anything involving Whoopi Goldberg gets an automatic pass from me.

Haha. I love watching these clowns feed on each other. Sounds like all award circle jerks need the “best black for being black goes to...”

Well I care

It’s social engineering and lies

How many unicorn nuclear black families must we see in commercials

They find racism under every rock. In every facial expression. In every statement. In every drawer. Behind every door. Racism still exists, but nowhere near the extent clowns like this think it does.

And further, this clown was given $20M to make his movie. I guess that was racist too?

Actually blacks attacked “Greenbook”, because it portrayed the “White Savior”.

Who was the savior in Greenbook was debatable. Each of the two main characters learned from each other. I think that was the whole point.

True. It’s 2023 and Hollywood behaves - acts? - as if it’s 1960 and applauds itself for being so race aware.

The film’s writer and director Chinonye Chukwu was also regarded among the leading contenders for the Best Director category at the Oscars. Alas, she was snubbed.

African-American? Depends on what you mean by "African-American."

They were also upset because they thought “BlackKkklansman” should have won instead.

So it’s not enough to be a “black” movie for them.
