nah, they are certainly and simply too powerful to be afraid of anything.
They just want to be drama queen and make headline news, or help somebody push an agenda. I swear somebody in this country can't wait for a race war. Truly pathetic.
I agree with you. Appears there is an agenda to wanting to see a race war. I know some people who believe it has already happened.
So apparently last year (2014) pretty much all the Oscar awards for best film entertainment went to "white" people. This created quite a stir in the politically correct leftist fantasy world of Hollywood. They all crinkled their foreheads and promised to do better next (this) year (2015).
In order to compensate, it now appears that this year the Oscars may be decided in many cases based on skin color and public perception surveys rather than on who the best performers are. In fact, the nominations are shaping up to be predominately "white" again.
What will the priority be here? To award the best actors and actresses based on their skills, their artistic merit and their achievement? Or to kowtow to the leftist values of political correctness? If this article at the LA Times is accurate, it will almost certainly be the latter.
To be fair, I have not been to a movie in an actual movie theater in years, so I am not a good person to judge who the best actors and actresses are or what the best movies were in 2015. Perhaps this very liberal Hollywood crowd is sincerely discriminating against black actors based on their skin color. Who am I to say?
But if it is somehow the case that nearly all of the very best actors and actresses this year had low levels of melanin in their skin, should they be discriminated against because of that? I certainly do not think so.
Radical idea - Perhaps these awards should be awarded based on merit and not on skin color, either way.
If you don't even go to movies why do you care? I wouldn't think that an awards show would have any effect on you at all.
Should Hollywood adopt Affirmative Action or should black directors, writers and actors step up and try harder?
If they are not producing quality then why should they be recognized with nominations and awards?
Black culture is so much more than slavery and civil rights so why not explore the rest of their heritage with film and make something worthy?
[b]Hollywood hands out the awards, so who exactly do they fear?
Its a Rhetorical question, they fear themselves
