The problem is that last year “12 Years a Slave” won an Oscar just because it was about slavery, not because it was a great movie.

The race-industrial complex now thinks that should happen every year.

Once again, we are faced with the dilemma. Do we want the best or will affirmative action destroy the movie industry like it destroyed everything else?

Yes, I think it goes like this:

"So, 'Twelve Years a Slave' won, are you happy now?"
"Nope."
"You need more wins?"
"Damn straight!"
"I suppose you think 12% of all Oscars should go to blacks?"
"Man, that's not enough!"
"What?? You want to win 50% of the awards??"
"No, man, of course not!"
"Well, that's a relief!"
"We want to win all the time! Every award! Because we're better than you!"
