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.

Satire?

Can he really be this stupid?

He is also upset that whites are greatly under represented in the NBA and on BET.

An emergency meeting?

Of who?

==

They get the whole month of February. They are never happy.

Selma got an obligatory nod. That was intended to keep things calmed. Apparently, that isn’t working.

“The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets,”

The race baiting biddness is like a cesspool, the lower you go the more turds you find.

"When they have the Black awards will they include Whites ?"

Like the BET, R&B and hip-hoppers hand out their awards. After the big Zero got the peace prize for nothing they now expect awards to be handed to them along with their EBT cards.

Possibly Meryl Streep would be willing to give her nomination up, since she has already won an Oscar, to allow a black to be nominated in her place. After all, she didn’t earn that and it is only fair that the Oscars are subject to redistribution of fame.

THE BIGGEST HYPROCRITE OF ALL--Sharpton's for-profit "NAN network" organized numerous cop-hating rallies, inciting thugs to kill cops. Then Sharpton went on MSNBC-TV, unblinkingly decrying the Ramos/Liu cop killings....... as if he opposed them.

The opportunistic money-hungry turd's got a lot at stake: Obama's WH invites---his lucrative MSBNC gig---selling his NAN network to suckers like Comcast who are negotiating to buy it.

Fox's Melissa Frances reported on The Kelly File that Al Sharpton not only hosts an MSNBC show, but that:

<><> MSNBC Corporate finances Sharpton's Ntl Action Network (NAN);

<><>Comcast is also one of Sharpton's financial backers

<><> MSNBC AND COMCAST are reportedly negotiating to buy Sharpton's NAN network.

What Companies Are Helping To Fund Al Sharpton's Race War.....financing the hate-filled marches?
Chicks On The Right ^ | Miss Daisy / FR Posted by HomerBohn

According to the source article (and the New York Post), Sharpton reps more sponsors than your average stock car driver. The list of companies that "donate" to help Al run a race war---and demonize cops---who fund tax-cheat Sharpton's " National Action Network" (said to be millions in debt):

•Colgate-Palmolive

•Anheuser-Busch

•Macy’s

•Pfizer

•PepsiCo

•General Motors

•Daimler Chrysler

•Wal-Mart

•FedEx

•Johnson & Johnson

•American Honda

•Chase

•Hawkins Food Group

•MGM

The companies Al demonizes on a regular basis....unless he gets paid.
