#OscarsSoWhite: Twitter reacts to all white Oscar nominees (elect, government, religion)

Yet another accusation of racism by the shameless race baiter. I wonder how "appalled" he is by the lack of white people in the BET awards.

"I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards," he said.

1. Most of us don't care what Sharpton says or thinks. He is irrelevant.

2. Most of us don't know or care who wins oscars, emmys, bennies or barfies and what color their skin is.

But it's fun to watch these two groups fight like kids since they have at least one characteristic in common; they have an inflated sense of their self worth.

Denials that race doesn't play a role in what is well-regarded within society are naive. As much progress as has been made, society is still rife with a pattern of racial bias in practically all of its institutions. Reasonable people can disagree about what is to be done about it, but to refuse to acknowledge the problem is ridiculous.

Who really cares. Obviously there were not any actors of color that put up as good of a performance as those that are nominated. Does Al forget that last year the best picture award went to 12 years a slave, when it wasn't even the best of the bunch?

As Winston Churchill once said about someone, "He is a bull looking for a china shop". Fits here perfectly.

When the NBA is brought up we inevitably hear "Oh, that's strictly based on talent". Funny how talent becomes an unacceptable criterion in other areas.

Oscar nominees? Seriously? BFD.

I'll bet that blacks are sorely underrepresented as surgeons and commercial airline pilots too.

Those are much more important and highly responsible positions in society.

Sharpton ought to tackle THOSE travesties and shake down the airlines and medical schools.

PALL - v. palled, pall·ing, palls
To become insipid, boring, or wearisome.

Perhaps, he meant to say that he was "a" palled.

The liberal welfare class fights the liberal multimillionaire elites. Sweet!
Let's see whom the left politicians support: their voter base or the major funding source.
