The diversity pimps are whining, but they ought to get a clue that when people vote, they have a choice. Government loves to pick and choose winners, and the various interest groups, be they racial lobbys, gay lobbys, women lobbys or other lobbys, do influence government and game the system.
For example, Ivy League universities have rolled over and decided that they DO NOT want to attract only the best and the brightest, but instead will carve out a special accommodation for the less bright and the less accomplished, unless they are white or Asian, in which case those applicants can take a seat behind those who are substantially below the standard. The net result is a lowering of the overall performance of the University. Forgive me for being so selfish, but I really would prefer that my doctor be the best prepared and the brightest, not a recipient of academic charity due to his or her ethnicity.
Some groups actually think they are entitled to special benefits because of their ethnicity, or their gender, or their sexual orientation, and government has frequently acquiesced and discriminated against the best to accommodate these interest groups. On the other hand, in areas such as professional sports, it is quite common to see a professional basketball team or football team that consists of 75% African Americans, and no one is crying “discrimination” or “unfair,” even if the overall U.S. population is only 12% black.
The assumption is that the players earned their right to be a part of the team, and so that team makeup is accepted and no one demands that a less talented player displace a more talented one because there are not “enough” white players on the team.
Academy Awards discrimination, page 2:
HAHAHAHAHAHA…WHAT A$#%&!@*..IF YOUR MOVIE WASN’T GOOD, IT WASN’T GOOD!!
So people didn’t like a movie and decided not to give it an award. Thousands of movies come out each year nobody will even hear of.
This is good advertising though. Nice way to increase viewers and sales trying to make controversy.
“It is by no means enough that an officer of the Navy should be a capable mariner. He must be that, of course, but also a great deal more. He should be as well a gentleman of liberal education, refined manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor.
He should be the soul of tact, patience, justice, firmness, kindness, and charity. No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention or be left to pass without its reward, even if the reward is only a word of approval.
Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate, though at the same time, he should be quick and unfailing to distinguish error from malice, thoughtlessness from incompetency, and well meant shortcomings from heedless or stupid blunder. In one word, every commander should keep constantly before him the great truth, that to be well obeyed, he must be perfectly esteemed.”
We want affirmative action for whites in the nfl!!
Thin skin assist. There was over 200 judges. Sorry you can’t act good enough.
We DEMAND Radical Change In The BET AWARDS!
CRY CRY, Vic
I think we’ve had about enough..of idiots..
So let`s see, blacks are about 1/7th of the population. But if there are no blacks selected out of 8 actors considred for the award then it is racism. So we need quotas now??
Get rid of BET; MOBO and black music awards, NAACP, and black history month.
Plus it’s a bit difficult for blacks who are multi milliners trying to claim they’re being discriminated against. Such fucking idiots.
