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 todays Oscar nominations is appalling, and while it is good that Selma was nominated for Best Picture, its 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.

that would have been hilarious, much
anyone have a picture of a nice Rubber Room for Sharpton they can post here?
If all the nominees were “of color” would that situation be ok with Al?
Im certain I could find a ..few.
I read every word of the stinking article...and did not find revrunt al’s reference to Ferguson...although Im certain he must have made one.
perhaps the editors couldnt bring themselves to include it even after writing it into the headline? I mean one can take only so ...MUCH
Remind me again which movie won Best Picture last year?
Life for blacks in America is so rough that they can’t be bothered with piddly things like Boko Haram murdering blacks by the thousands, endless black on black violence in the inner cities, or black genocide at the hands of abortionists.
WTF...LOL
LOL, .....
Here’s hoping this is Al’s Jump the Shark moment...
Hollywood the land of liberals really goofed on this one. These politically correct morons surely had to know Selma had better have its share of Oscar nominations or face the wrath and visits from Reverend Al and his crew.
That ‘Slave’ movie. What do I win? Is my Anti-Rassis Ticket punched for-ever? ;)
He is upset because the White Elites would never nominate a film that actual told the truth about LBJ and the myth that he was actually all for civil rights from the start.
who...is Revrunt Al going to hit up for FUNDS...anyway???
hes not doing this for his health..
Hey AL...you want to be of use go march in Nigeria where 2000 black nigerians were slaughterd by Boko Haram this last week. Make a difference march for life instead of old tired cliche’s
Freegards
LEX
I have to admit it...I dont know....
Why, Oh, WHY do the miscreants and the socialists and the race-baiting agitators seem to live on FOR-EVER?
Just DIE already!
now that would be admirable...honorable and compassionate.....eveything that Revrunt al has made a career out of PRETENDING to be....yes
Al has had a lifetime to make movies or fund movies, if he wanted to. Nobody’s stopping him.
Id bet not one of the “ferguson” “protestors has ever heard of Boko Haram
