Learning history indeed. Asians, specifically the Chinese were treated as badly as blacks. Asians evolved their relationships in this country while blacks sat back and blamed and continue to blame whites for every negative issue in their lives. All other races have done far more to improve their collective lives while blacks are stuck on reliving lives of which they really had no part. Really, learn all the history, not just black history to use as a crutch.

It's a logical progression, after nominating Roman Polanski multiple times.

What is ridiculous is to ignore the fact that the only color Hollywood cares about is GREEN.

No one gives a blip about Sharpton except some of you right wringers.
Um, he has spoken at how many DNC's?

Seems like when you have a politcal party inviting him to speak at their national convention it's kinda meaningful.

True

Both a funny comment, and sad commentary on the Hollywood mentality.
