The producers behind the 94th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night have drawn fire from critics who called it “insensitive” to accompany two black presenters as they took the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles with Toto’s “Africa.”
Toto’s “Africa” played as British actor Daniel Kaluuya and singer H.E.R., both of whom claimed Oscars in 2021, strolled into the spotlights to present best supporting actress.
Some argued the 1982 song was a less than stellar choice to introduce two black presenters, the Hollywood Reporter pointed out and others agreed on social media.

Bungle in the Jungle would have been good.
America does not worship Africa. It worships “African-American” ghetto culture, the Race Card as a tool to “stick it go the Man”, and Blacks for their entertainment value (sports included).
Thomas Sowell, Jeremy Fielding, George Washington Carver, et al need not apply.
The toxic dumpster 🔥 that is the Oscars burns on.
And don’t forget Lt. Col. Allen B. West (Ret.), either. I admire the hell out of that man who, during his (Article 32?) hearing (correct me if I’m wrong on the number), testified that he would “go through Hell with a gasoline can” when it came to the lives of his men. Anyone who knows who Charles (the Hammer) Martel was, is waaaay up there on the Respect-O-Meter.
West is a black MAN, along with the other fine Americans you mentioned.
I should have been more precise re the Africa thing, and said something along the lines of the Africa that a particular segment APPROPRIATES in an effort to bolster their non-stop bitching and whining.
‘Yabba Dabba Honeymoon would be my pick.’
I’d like to have heard ‘Abba dabba dabba said the monkey to the chimp...’
‘Oops…’
oops indeed; but at any rate, a great tune for the occasion...
to wit, the lyric ‘and the monkey gay as the break of day’ somehow seems germane to the venue...
I think I asked you before if you are connected with the guys from Half Time Rec.
‘I think I asked you before if you are connected with the guys from Half Time Rec.’
no, not at all; though I did have to look up what Half Time Rec actually is...
sounds like a fun place, though...
