In response to the whitest Oscar nominations in 17 years, Al Sharpton has issued a statement expressing his disappointment in the nominations and calling for a meeting to address the lack of diversity in Hollywood.
“The lack of diversity in today’s Oscar nominations is appalling, and while it is good that Selma was nominated for ‘Best Picture,’ it’s ironic that they nominated a story about the racial shutout around voting while there is a racial shutout around the Oscar nominations,” Sharpton said in a statement. “With all of the talent in Selma and other Black movies this year, it is hard to believe that we have less diversity in the nominations today than in recent history.”

from your lips to revrunt al’s ear!
every time he opens that gaping hole in his face Im CERTAIN that he HAS just jumped the shark....and everytime......he goes on to greater and greater hieghts of IGNANCE
no can we go on disrespecting a Great Spirchull Leader...../s
Al, you could care less about this...you just want to stir the racial pot so somebody will buy your next meal. You’re a complete phoney...from Tawana Brawley to the Duke Five, you don’t care about the truth, especially when it doesn’t fit your racist bias. Pathetic...and so it the MSM for giving you the time of day.
Don’t worry my friend those cowardly White liberals will roll over like dogs for Reverend Al the minute he accuses them of racism. These studio execs will set up and provide funding for foundations and other organizations to address the “racial inequality” in Hollywood which Reverend Al and his crew will embezzle, uh will oversee to provide opportunities for Blacks in Tinseltown.
Al, you are an obnoxious, stupid, frickin’ jerk.
Sharpton is on the mark for his goals. Its one of the best opportunities for a big dollar, mover and shaker high roller shakedown that he has ever had. Bet Jesse wishes he thought of it first.
And not to a false story and lousy acting.
Isn’t hollywierd the same crowd busted over their emails about der leader? Diversity and inclusiveness indeed! And these are all dimocrat libs to boot.
So, blacks are now “entitled” to be nominated because they are black?
Jesse Jacksome...and Louis Farraklown...
entitlements EVUHWHERES!
this must be based on the Overal Statismical Makep of theNation ya unnuhstand, much
“Al Sharpton has issued a statement...” Like...WOW!!! Headline news time.
oh that all Revrunt Al would READ the FREE REPUBLIC...
But for his race this race pimp would be a social pariah like David Duke.
thats al’s hobby...
I want to know where he thinks the PAYOFF is coming form this time??
if producers don’t cast at least fifty percent “blacks” hes gonna launch a BOYCOTT???
he is a pariah...in the REAL WORLD i believe.
those deeply avolded in the Black is DIFFERENT Fantasy know no better
That’s right. We are supposed to be so liberal that we have affirmative action for Oscar nominees. If there aren’t enough such nominees of color to pass muster with someone such as Al Sharpton, then that will be considered evidence of racism.
We live in a politically correct world now. This half assed reasoning will be taken very seriously and reported on by the MSM as they show great reverence for the views of Sharoron and report on this alleged controversy.
Why does the statistical makeup of the NBA and NFL, with about 7 times the percentage of Black participants than in the general population, not bother anybody?
