I live in a neighborhood in Northern Virginia that is about 50% white and 50% Asian. There is very little crime and everyone seems to get along in all social aspects. There is frequent dating between the two races as well.

Blacks have been in this country a lot longer than Southeast Asians and they just don't seem to want to assimilate into American culture --- they want to have their own subculture with it's own rules.

Makes no sense to me!
Would you like the high school/college/university diversity course explanation or the truth?

Default Black actors need to tell the Academy Awards to go to hell

I like Boyce Watkins. He's blunt and doesn't tout the liberal line. He has an independent voice.

Of course their performances matter....perhaps they just didn't have a good year!

And really...who cares? It's a freaking movie!

You were being sarcastic?

Selma was nominated for best picture. The most prestigious of all oscars.

What black actor/actress did a better performance than the other actors/actresses nominated?


Don't worry, in another year you'll have the black storm trooper to be nominated.

I don't know why the academy awards are a big deal and why anyone should feel honored. It's less than 6,000 people voting and it's comprised of white older men. I never understood why the blockbuster movies were always overlooked. I think we should all be able to vote. I mean we are the ones who pay to watch these movies so our voice should count. Without us, how would there be any academy awards lol

I don't know enough about this stuff to care. If you showed me pictures of the top ten hottest people in the U.S. I probably couldn't tell you the name of 9 of them.
