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.

get a F life
are you kidding. this is the only good acting they have done in years!
You racist fools are cutting your own throats. Whitey won’t bother to go to your movies. And there are not enough black folks to support your racist butts. Yes sir, you are the art ones.
Why the fuss? Really folks, why does this even get on our radar. We have bigger more important things to worry about.
Were you any good?
Why are you complaining ! You see, they don’t give awards just for being black ! Wake up already ! I didn’t see any whites in the Bet awards and it doesn’t matter to me at all !
WHAT A CROCK JUST ANOTHER EXCUSE TO PULL THE RACE CARD DONE DONE DONE DONE WITH THIS BULL C**P NOT GETTING REWARDED FOR BEING RACIST
I agree I will not go to their movies or watch em on TV. They are going backwards.
Don’t kid yourself it wasn’t because you are black, I saw Selma; it was alright but not oscar worthy
Maybe he’s in the wrong profession,maybe he’s no actor,maybe he should find employment else where. Because its apparent he can’t act. Oh and I love it when liberals have a snooty tiff.
