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:
Boo hoo! I didn’t get an award…boo hoo
Make a Black Oscar category.
Go act somewhere,,else,,,,really
Maybe just maybe ,there just weren’t any black actors who were good enough actors last year ? Or should they just start handing out token Oscars ? Or maybe they should give out Oscars like Olympic medals ..platinum,gold ,white gold ,rose gold ,silver ,Nicole ,bronze ,copper and tin foil to reflect the actors ability..just to shut them up ..
what about no whites considered at the BET awards….srew these assholes !!
Okay then we demand whites be included in BET Awards and that all forms of segregation end. You can’t force integration then segregate yourself by having all black schools, tv channels, awards, movies etc. Maybe just maybe will smith didn’t get nominated because he didnt deserve it over other actors. This isn’t about fairness or racism its about him getting butthurt for not getting nominated and his wife took to throwing a hissy fit!!!!! If we are going to make a stink then desegregate ALL THINGS
I’m sorry, but this is out of control. Let’s start a petition to boycott all the BLACK awards. Let’s be fair, the BET awards, NAACP awards, The show Blackish, the show the Jeffersons, the show PJ’s, the show Good Times, BCALA Literary Awards, Candace Award, Miss Black America, Miss Black USA, Golden Eagle Award, Coretta Scott King Award, Langston Hughes Medal, Shelia award, I can go on and on all day, my point is this racial crying about awards is a joke. Nothing but hypocrites. So tell me how many white people won these awards. If you want to show diversity, how about you show for everyone. Stop crying and grow up.
Once you inject “affirmative” action into the judging process, objectivity goes out the window. Why bother? Decisions/results are meaningless. Where does it end? One cannot expect to be judged fairly by peers if they are of the current “unpopular” ethnic race or skin color. Like PC , the results have no merit or meaning and are of no interest.
Cant blacks just except they didnt win the award?
Cry babies
