"There's a story we've been afraid to see and hear about ourselves in this industry," Jane Fonda said at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. "A story about which voices we respect and elevate and which we tune out, a story about who's offered a seat at the table and who is kept out of the rooms where decisions are made."
An actress, producer and documentarian — as well as an entrepreneur, activist and author — Fonda, 83, has spent six decades in Hollywood, winning two Oscars and seven Golden Globes, among countless other awards. She's has been arrested many times for her activism, which has spanned anti-Vietnam war efforts to, more recently, climate change.
But on Sunday, she focused her speech on a singular effort: inclusion.
Notably, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization of international journalists which organizes the Golden Globes, does not have a single Black member.
"We recognize we have our own work to do," HFPA Vice President Helen Hoehne said Sunday night in an attempt to address the controversy. "Just like in film and television, Black representation is vital. We must have Black journalists in our organization."

Jane - you are white.
You are now the enemy in Hollywood
Shoot down any B-52s or Phantoms lately there Jane??
So much for a politics free golden globes.
Not that anyone watches award shows anymore anyway.
Must have missed her diversity of thought speech?
Crimeny, how divorced from reality can one be? We can't get 'em to shut up about it, and a whole plethora of other issues they find "important".
Do these morons ever figure out that they are the “Useful Idiots’ Lenin spoke of?????
That’s, I believe, the photoshop that got Registered in trouble.
This country is not inherently racist. This was a ploy, a lie put out by the obamas who made this farce worse, perpetuated by the group of undereducated emotional thinking hollywood people abusing their access to large audiences of under informed, misinformed misdirected emotional thinkers.
The issue here is why is Jane Fonda not in jail for life for being in country in enemy territory during wartime giving aid and comfort to the enemy causing Suffering and death to our troops.
Better late than never?...(ducking now)
Hanoi Jane you ignorant...
Where’s John Kerry? Where’s pretty boy John Edwards (his daddy worked in the meel)? Where’s Tim eyebrow Kaine? Where’s Willies’s girl Commie, la? Where’s Xao Biden?...never mind.
Diversity just means more blacks. It’s never more Asians or Hispanics. What do they want? That Hollywood /media accurately match the demographics of America? They need 13% black representation in media? I’m sure the 2% jewish population wouldn’t be happy with that in Hollywood.
Jane Fonda? That wrinkled old has-been is still running her famous mouth?
The only diversity in Hollywood is the diversity of prescription drugs.
how is/was it shopped?
Takes no courage to make such a speech now that “more diversity” (i.e. more blacks, gays, trannies) is mandatory in Hollyweird.
HA..! There one heck of a lot more that could be added to THAT list..!!
Jane you ignorant slut!
Man these people are sick. Wtf this obsession with skin color!
