The Rev. Al Sharpton was left fuming mad after the Oscars revealed its all-white list of nominees for this year's Oscar awards on Thursday.

"The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon.

Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood, also announced he was holding an "emergency meeting" next week to address the issue.

"I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards," he said.

...how about an emergency meeting to make him pay his taxes?

How many millions does he owe?

[Batman11]

This is Fat Al’s attempt to blame the Joooooos.

It’s called talent, Sharpton, you dummie! And we’re talking actors, not black self declared Reverends, where the lower you go, the higher you get! Yuck!

[ExCTCitizen]

Hey Al, did any CONSERVATIVE ACTORS/ACTRESSES get nominated?

[artichokegrower]

Gotta agree with Sharpton here. Hollywood is evil.

[ExCTCitizen]

And what about the lack of Alaskan Eskimos in the NBA? Or Hawaiians in the NBA...

[ExCTCitizen]

That movie was stupid!! Let’s see... let’s remake Gone With the Wind with an all black cast or an all black cast version of 1776.

[ExCTCitizen]

As Clark Gable said: ‘I don’t give a damn...’ I don’t care to see that remake...

Meanwhile, MSNBC is pimping the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, and it’s trending worldwide.

I thought this was satire, at first.

Morgan Freeman, the All-Knowing Wise Black Man.

[FrankR]

Hey, Al...if you can’t make it to the top of the mountain, TALK ain’t gonna get you there.

[cva66snipe]

He’s calling an emergency meeting? Are we getting 6 feet of white people overnight?

As Larry says "Now that was funny I don't care who you are".

[Din Maker]

"Rev." Al is going to keep on until he starts a "Race War" in America. I truly believe that is what he's trying to do.

[Din Maker]

Sharpton, please call a meeting so people can observe you to commit suicide on camera.

If the Tawana Brawley incident did not accomplish that feat, this surely will not.

last year a “twelve Years a Slave “ received 9 nominations and 3 wins.

I guess they thought they were entitled to win every year now????

Once again we have blacks and their criminal representative (sharpturd) throwing racial temper tantrums over nothing.

utterly pathetic.
