Oscar Rage: NBC’s Sharpton Demands Emergency Race Meeting
Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | January 16, 2015 | John Nolte

Posted on 01/16/2015 9:48:41 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

NBC’s Al Sharpton, President Obama’s 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,” America’s 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 America’s 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.....

I wish the news would refuse to cover Sharpton.

Blacks have guaranteed slots in our finest colleges if they have modestly decent grades while whites must be in the top 5% or better.

I’m surprised the KKK hasn’t sent him (Sharpton) to an “early, but permanent, retirement”

Outside of the White House, a bigger POS would be hard to find. Still waiting for Lois Lerner and the IRS to bring tax evasion charges against him but I will not hold my breath, or should I write that I will not hold my breathe?

Not if you watch commercials, blacks are 30-50%.

Sharpton wants Hollywood to pony up and donate... then he’ll give them a pass...

Hollywood must understand how important the shakedown is... Sharpton needs the money for the IRS... The IRS deal with Sharpton is he must pay a dollar a week until the 4.5 million is paid off... and he’s waaaaay behind on his payments.

This is too good. Hollywood forced to lick Sharpton’s boots in public. Can’t wait to see the bowing and scraping that will go on for all to see. Another nail in Hollywood’s coffin.

And in EVERY commercial where there are blacks and a white male, the white male plays the uninformed, bad decision making, buffoon. It's like commercial cuckolding on "white boys".
