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:
Well then that goes for bet awards. This reverse racism is crazy
Haha
Maybe that’s the simple answer, then. Just rename the academy and the award. The White Oscars works for me.
So the actor awards should be based on the color of the skin and not the skill of the performance?
What BS. Next they will want a Quota system just for blacks. Never heard of this guy or the movie.
I’m boycotting the BET awards until they let more whites in…. oh, hold on, I don’t give a c**p………
Black people get recognized for their work if it is good enough. I remember Monique’s role in Precious and even though the movie didn’t win an Oscar, she did…Just putting it out there that Precious was the most depressing movie I ever seen in my life
How everyone stop watching and giving a$#%&!@*what happens in Hollywood. They have no baring on our lives other than entertaining us.
“I am Black and i do not get what I want” . Is this where the word “BLACKMAIL originated ?
They don’t want equal treatment. They want special treatment.
