Who CARES about Hollywood?

Oh, yeah, that's right........Obama.

But wait -- Hollyweird is run by liberals. Does that mean they are racist?

Works for me - they should send their "peaceful protestors" to converge on Hollywood
Couldn't happen to a better place.

Truth please and no whining of victimization Every race on the planet can lay claim to victimization by one group or another.

He sends drones to bomb Iraqi children, displaced millions of Syrian into camps and doesn't send one drone to wipe out these Boko Haram reptiles.
If I was in charge, Boko Haram would be droned into oblivion. Arab slave traders would be droned into oblivion. THE AFRICAN HOLOCAUST IS APPALLING AND THE SILENCE FROM AFRO-AMERICAN so called leaders and so called celebrities is DEAFENING. White and proud of my heritage, thank-you.

black actors, along with the rest of us black folks need to stop caring so much about the oscars. why do some of us feel we always need recognition from white people? I know the answer, of course, we live in a predominantly white country that fills all non white brains with white ideals of beauty and achievement. there is nothing wrong with enjoying the oscars as a POC, but the whine coming from some blacks is deafening. the story of how black folks got snubbed is on nearly every page i follow on social media. I think it makes us look silly. there are no other minorities complaining about being snubbed this year. just black people. it's embarrassing. maybe if awards given by black organizations were worth something <<cough>> image awards <<cough>> BET awards <<cough>>, we wouldn't be so worried about the oscars. IDK. what else can be said. why care? black women have only, ever won for being maids, slaves, scammers or abusive mothers, why on earth would we even be proud of that?

No idea, haven't seen it. Not all best picture nominations have best director nominations.

I'm sorry if I don't think it's a big deal that black actors were shut out this year.

Hmmm, seems that there isn't a mandated quota for how many of certain race in the film industry get awards. The justice brothers will have to work on that situation.
