Iirc for the first time the Oscars had an all-black production team. Smith embarrassed them big time.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Hey people, 10 years? I see an element of ‘we gotta show this guy’.

[xp38]

That was on the Tony Awards not the Academy.

🎶That’s en-ter-tain-ment!🎶

🙄😉😄

[Chainmail]

I would have given him a one year suspension - remember that actors, like sports folks, have very short span in which they can work - and I’d have offered to suspend the whole thing if he dumps that unloving wife of his.

[BradyLS]

...But killing your cinematographer? Crickets.

[Carriage Hill]

I have that lumped into gender, but you’re right: it needs its own mention.

[rollo tomasi]

Academy Awards is useless. Once the actors unionized it should of just been kept to the SAG awards. Big marketing subjective bull feces.

On topic, Will Smith needs to man up, dump his whore of a wife who has no desire to change, get the faggotry out of his kids, and live a Christian life. Instead he goes the cuck route making bad decisions (Even it it was staged).

Go for it.

If I never heard all the breathless hysteria about them again, I would not miss it.

[Gnome1949]

There is a big difference between SAYING something nasty and ASSAULTING someone.

Will Smith opened the door to physical violence at the Oscars and they are wise to SLAM THAT DOOR SHUT.

I think it should have been a LIFETIME BAN. The Oscars are not “THE ‘HOOD” where you settle scores with violence.

Jim Carrey sexually assaulted a woman live on stage and she was visually distressed

What does it mean to be “visually” distressed? Was her vision becoming cloudy?

[Trillian]

Nobody watches anyway.

Very good point. The issue isn't race, it's culture. And what positive aspects of culture are being upheld versus what negative aspects of culture.

from my home page

_________________________________________________________________

Culturism.

The problem isn't racism. Race cannot be changed. The problem is Culture. Culture is the thing that can be changed. None of us, including obambam, and others can change the color of their skin but we can change our culture we choose to uphold. The key is to uphold positive aspects of our own and others' culture, and reduce the negative aspects.

Some cultures are superior to others. An example is San Diego vs. Tijuana. They're 5 miles apart, separated by a simple fence. On one side is a shiitehole and on the other is a pleasant enough place to live. Same climate, same location, the only difference is that fence that separates 2 distinct cultures -- one of which millions of people clamor to get into and the other of which people try to get out of.

Even obambam is culturist: "Parents have to... eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white." ~Barack Obama , 2004 Democratic National Convention

Serenity prayer approach to racism:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change like Race

the courage to change the things I can like Culture

the wisdom to know the difference like the difference between Race and Culture.

***Well said. Good writing.

[ronniesgal]

if Roman Polanski and Weinstein the Hut can keep theirs let Will keep his!!
( actually i don’t care who/what goes on with Will Smith but the other 2 were way worse and still get star treatment)

[telescope115]

Totally agree with you!

I am amazed there is still a AOL website...
