Al Sharpton to organize Oscars TV boycott (schadenfreude alert)
NY Post ^ | January 19, 2016 | David K. Li

The Rev. Al Sharpton vowed Tuesday to organize a national "tune out" of the Oscars for its failure for the second year in a row to nominate a single black actor or director for an award.

Sharpton's National Action Network said it plans to work with activists and advocacy groups in hopes that Americans "will turn off anything that does not represent the broad cultural and diverse contributions of American entertainment."

I protest the lack of non-black honorees at the BET awards
and the NAACP Image Awards.

I can’t stand to watch these self-congratulatory displays of hypocritical value judgments. However,if Sharpton doesn’t want me to watch, I’ll tune in.

I saw the movie Concussion starring Jada Pinkett Smith’s husband Will. It was good, but I didn’t think it was
Oscar (tm)- worthy.

...Racist!

All Oscar nominations must include: 8 african american, 3 latinos, 2 asians, 4 mixed, 1 eskimo......not so much about the acting ability or who actually saw the movie! How funny!

Their black privilege is showing as I don’t see any television stations named WET (White Entertainment Television).

Go Al, go!!! This is one Al Sharpton boycott that I can get behind 100%, just for the entertainment value. Let’s see how the liberal Hollywood dance around to answer questions about whether the Oscars are racist. My, how the Oscars have fallen from the days when Clooney arrogantly said that they were the vanguard of black inclusion because Hattie McDaniel got one on 1939.

Its hilarious to watch black racists complain about the lack of racial and cultural diversity.

Hey Al, if the shoe fits, wear it.
