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:
I don’t watch award shows. Are there whites recognized at the BET awards?
More racebaiting
This means you and that movie wasn’t that good, you don’t automatically get nominated because you are in a movie get over yourself, and how about the racially motivated BET channel, and the BET awards, there are no whites nominated, and we don’t have our own channel because that would surely be called racism, but because of this selection taught entitlement that your race thinks your owed, and if you don’t get your way, you think there should be a protest or a boycott, get a life, grow up, if you don’t like it get out of this country
Only Black LIES Matter.
Be happy with what you have, quit complaining it gets old
So we have four nominees all white. Next year they want to expand to Six so they can broaden diversity. Oops. Did not have an outstanding black. Lets see if we expand to ten there is a black guy in one film that would make the cut. Opps now we have more guys than gals. Better expand to 12. Oops how many do we need to catch a transgender? 22? Ok. Lets make it 24. Oh now every movie has a “best” award? Hmm maybe it would be more inclusive if we quit doing awards. Yep. That works!
Next years Oscars will have Kevin Hart up for best actor for “Ride Along 3 I lost my Whip”
BET got awards for ya, I’m sure
That’s because the movie sucked, the story was inflated, and we’ve yet again managed to skew history! Get over it!
Even some black people have said they have not been voted on because there is not one good enough to be voted for.
