Al Sharpton Links ‘Appalling’ Lack of Oscar Diversity to Ferguson

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.”

White liberal elites love their LBJ lies... just like they covered for Byrd... They think something becomes truth if enough people ‘feel’ it’s true.

The conclusion that good, white liberals will miss from Al Scumbag's latest adventure is that many blacks don't think liberal whites are any different from any other white people. In racialists like Sharpton's eyes, all whites are nasty racists until proven otherwise.

But many white libs will protest begging forgiveness from jerks like Sharpton declaring their love for black people. Black people still hate them...because they're white.

What are the odds that the Academy will come up with some “Lifetime Achievement Oscar” for some black actor.
Oprah? Will Smith? Snoop Dog? Tupac?
Doesn’t matter who, as long as they get a black face accepting an Oscar.
