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.
"The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon.
Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood, also announced he was holding an "emergency meeting" next week to address the issue.

Why hasn’t he raised the dreaded automobile color discrimination issue? He forgot about all those white cars out there. Too many white cars. Not enough black cars!!!

Al Sharpton finally explains himself in a way that makes sense to me.
Put down the bong, Al. You’ll thank me later.

I’m hoping that while Al is out in Hollywood shaking down movie moguls, the NoKo nuke will hit, destroying it and them at the same time. Win-win!
