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.

Barely begins to describe Sharpton.
I live in a hyper reenforced hardened concrete bunk many yards underground...
I have to to get away with all of this

Good thang, you underground, MM, or we’d be comin’ fo’ you. And your cat.
I saw Geraldo defending the race hustler on Fox. I was hoping for a flying chair.
My cat weighs in at over two hundred pounds and is not intruder friendly
I guess it takes a hairoldo...to balance out against the rational stuff they broadcast/
I’d like to complain about professional and college football.
Black people are only about two out of every ten Americans, but most football players seem to be Negroes. That doesn’t show much commitment to diversity, creates a hostile work environment and some other buzz words.
And basketball? Fuggedaboutit!
Maybe there just weren’t all that many great black performers and movies this year.
Maybe blacks were too busy running around with their hands up to go to the movies, so the good black movies didn’t get enough attention.
Yes.
I regret I don’t keep up with today’s actors...
but Mickey Mouse has big black ears.....
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.
****************************
You’re so right! LBJ was basically painted into a corner by the Republicans to sign off on the civil rights bill.
I think he finally saw how that would benefit the Democrats and later said something like... ‘Now the Democrats will own the n*****s for a hundred years’. (that’s paraphrasing from an old man’s memory, but it’s fairly close)
Good to see you posting here, TBM!
Just dropped in to say it’s good to see you TBK!
I sense that could be the answer.
as revrunt sharpton has stated hes Unembarassable...so I guess theres no shaming him into silence...
we must have Race equity across the board...

I DEMAND more black Jeopardy Champions!
