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:
BET awards not “black awards” secondly many white people have won these awards. Next…..BET is owned by a WHITE MAN! So technically “we” don’t have anything
The bad thing was the movie was not that good. Many movies about history are just not that good this was one of them.
Yes I can
Many have been conditioned to think so. Carlos Mencia stated if Obama was elected President the race card would be out the window. However even though he was elected the race card has been played every time someone disagrees with him or his party. Must be terrible to be elected President in a country that is so racist? Then again how was he elected then?
Then get rid of everything that is for blacks only , equality across the board , no more hand outs , no more college for free , no more small jail sentence, you get the same treatment, suffering, rewards and consequences as everyone else NO more special treatment because your black !!!!!!! You say you want equality , trust me every decent, respectable, tax paying, hard working American of all colors want the same . No more political correctness, no more special treatment or services. ALL AMERICANS TREATED THE SAME !!
Must of got a trophy in baseball for losing
Selma wasn’t even a good movie.
No doubt they wine WE chime
There are some very serious issues going on in the world. Awards for people in the entertainment industry is just NOT even worth wasting energy on, folks.
The Radical Change when we get rid of BET!!!!!! How about White History Month……..of While College Fund!!!!! Grow up…..face the fact that you did not deserve to win!!!!
