NBCs Al Sharpton, President Obamas go-to man on race and the ring-leader behind the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown race hoaxes, is furious over the Oscar nominations and has called for an emergency meeting in Hollywood to extort money address the issue.
The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets, Americas top tax-cheat declared, I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards.
Because Sharpton and Obama never fail to work in tandem, the President is hosting a White House screening of Selma Friday.
Much is being made of the fact that the not-very-good Civil Rights drama Selma received only two Oscar nominations: Best Song and Best Picture. Also, not a single one of the 20 Best Actor nomination slots went to a black actor.
As is always the case with Americas race-grifters, context is intentionally being excluded in this debate for the purposes of a shakedown.
Over the last 5 years, including this year, 10% of the Academy Oscar nominations have gone to black actors. This is almost perfectly in line with the 12.6% (averaged over 5 years) population of blacks in America. The race-grifters are also intentionally ignoring the fact that just last year, a mere 11 months ago, this very same Academy awarded 12 Years a Slave an Oscar for Best Picture. Moreover, over the past 5 years, no less than 7 films touching on racial issues have been nominated for Best Picture.....

So it’s the white guilt butt nut crowd vs. the black thug entitlement crowd. Whats not to like!!
When you create a monster such as Sharptonstien pieced together with all warped parts progressive liberal democrat communism, there should be no surprise when the same monster seeks to destroy its creator, you twits designed it that way.
I hope someone takes him for a swim .

A Sharpton PEZ would be a collectible.
That’s what they get for sleeping with the devil.
Not satire eh?

“Emergency Race Meeting”
It’s about time someone had the guts (can’t say balls ‘cause he’s on Viagra) to call a meeting. Along with the Oscars I’m sure he will take up the disproportionate representation of certain racial groups in college basketball, the NBA and college football.
I live in the Rocky Mountains - and if Al Sharpton is offended by their beauty, that’s his problem to bear.
Barry ought shut up and root for his distant cousin, Robert DuVall.
Dear Sharpton..PAY YOUR DAMN TAXES..Teresa Guidice is in prison for cheating the Govt of less yet this POS is still walking the streets
Last year they gave him best picture with that stupid slave movie. Maybe the Jews in Hollywood are fed up with the anti Israel crap from sharptons boss
This is a good start by Rev. Al. He should now chase down other racist things:
Eggs - white
Styrofoam - white
Teeth - white
golf balls - white
copier paper - white
rice - white
I only black actor that I remembered in any film that was worthy of any type of award was Tyler Perry in Gone Girl.
“Its only 12%, actually.”
It just feels like more !!!
I know some people that watch the movie roots and play it backwards so it has a happy ending
Everything MERIT related is raciss!
It would be hilarious to get Sharpton on camera and ask him to list the black performances that were overlooked.
I bet he couldn’t name a single performance.
An even better question would be, “What should the black quota be for nominations, and what is the quota for winners?”
And I’m just wondering, how many whites are nominated at the BET awards?
I have never figured out why anyone pays attention to this little jerk. Who cares what he yaps about?
OK Al...here we are. Now, what'd you want?
