It's 2016. Isn't it about time a black person won an Academy Award?
Well, okay, black people have won Academy Awards.* But shouldn't black people be nominated every time the awards are held? And don't say, "Leave us alone, we picked a black guy already," because that makes you sound like the 2016 Democrats.
Charlotte Rampling, who's nominated this year for her role in a movie you haven't seen, made the mistake of saying the #OscarsSoWhite boycott campaign is racist. Sure, it's literally true that demanding concessions based on race is racist, but that doesn't mean she should say it.
And now one of her fellow Caucasian actors has shocked the world by uttering another forbidden truth. As Christopher Rosen at Entertainment Weekly reports:
In an interview with Nick Robinson for BBC Radio 4, Caine was asked about "the argument going on in Hollywood at the moment, that not enough black actors -- in fact, none -- have been nominated for this year's Oscars."
"Yeah, but there's loads of black actors," Caine responded. "You can't vote for an actor because he's black. You can't just say, 'I'm going to vote for him. He's not very good, but he's black. I'll vote for him.' You have to give a good performance."
Caine is absolutely right, of course. #OscarsSoWhite is demanding that Academy voters base their nominations on color, not talent. It's ridiculous and irrational, because racism is ridiculous and irrational.
But in the Orwellian hellscape that is 2016, refusing to divide people by race is "racist."

do these people know this wont matter when the women are sex slaves and the men are slaughtered if we keep following europe’s lead, or if the debt keeps BALLOONING!! or if the morals decay anymore, or if we keep losing military prestige in the world, etc.
blacks, hispanics, white women under 50, gays and transwhatevres along with the majority of college students live in this make believe world where somebody overseas gives a @#$@#$ bout their nonsense and no one is planning on destroying us from the inside and out.
the most @#$@#$ing useful idiots i have ever met.
did they know a box of TISSUES was a luxury in the USSR?
ignorant @#$@#$ing dolts and i have no patience for them anymore.
Caine is right on this one, but i think the Ciderhouse Rules was a pro abortion move he was in.
wth, he’s right on one thing.
He said the racist word “merit.”
Michael Caine is about to find himself on the Hollywood black list.
One of my favorite actors.
Secondhand Lions
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Man Who Would Be King
and even, Blame it On Rio
/rimshot
Man Who Would Be King is one of my all time faves. I liked that teamed up with Connery again for A Bridge Too Far, right after that.
They think they can choose to be on the jeering crowd side of the barricade. They’re dreaming.
Shock to the system
My cocaine!
[singing] Knees Up Mother Brown, Knees Up Mother Brown...

This is how Hollyweird helped give us 0bama.
Chickens, home, roost.
#BlackOscarsMatter
there was an incident, i forget the details, where a Jewish Civil Rights group marched with black protesters in support of them, and got BEAT UP by the blacks.
THAT CASE was at least the “heart in the right place” gesture.
these people crying about nonsense are in for a shock.
