The Rev. Al Sharpton was left fuming mad after the Oscars revealed its all-white list of nominees for this year's Oscar awards on Thursday.

Yes; Al Sharpton CAN really be that stupid. This low-life, race-bating mongrel is going to keep on until he starts a “Race War” in America. I truly believe that is what he’s trying to do.

Didn’t Rush say Sharpton got a job at Sony Pictures and now has say over films dealing with race?

I guess last year’s many nominations for blacks involved in the production of “12 Years a Slave” and wins for best picture, best supporting actress and best adapted screenplay don’t count for anything.
