The diversity pimps are whining, but they ought to get a clue that when people vote, they have a choice. Government loves to pick and choose winners, and the various interest groups, be they racial lobbys, gay lobbys, women lobbys or other lobbys, do influence government and game the system.
For example, Ivy League universities have rolled over and decided that they DO NOT want to attract only the best and the brightest, but instead will carve out a special accommodation for the less bright and the less accomplished, unless they are white or Asian, in which case those applicants can take a seat behind those who are substantially below the standard. The net result is a lowering of the overall performance of the University. Forgive me for being so selfish, but I really would prefer that my doctor be the best prepared and the brightest, not a recipient of academic charity due to his or her ethnicity.
Some groups actually think they are entitled to special benefits because of their ethnicity, or their gender, or their sexual orientation, and government has frequently acquiesced and discriminated against the best to accommodate these interest groups. On the other hand, in areas such as professional sports, it is quite common to see a professional basketball team or football team that consists of 75% African Americans, and no one is crying “discrimination” or “unfair,” even if the overall U.S. population is only 12% black.
The assumption is that the players earned their right to be a part of the team, and so that team makeup is accepted and no one demands that a less talented player displace a more talented one because there are not “enough” white players on the team.
Academy Awards discrimination, page 2:
Selma actors did not win. Get over yourselves. There were better movies out there with better actors in them.
What black actor or actress in a role this year should have been nominated? And why aren’t white and Spanish getting bet awards and playing basketball, is it color or talent
WHERE Were White or Native Americans awarded on BET network, are Black people for SEGREGATION or INTEGRATION … CAN’T have BOTH
WHAT if the white people of this country had only white awards????? YOU GUYS have black awards, a black network,a black miss America..you are the RACISTS
Maybe if blacks would make movies about something other than slavery and the civil rights movement, they would get more recognition. You can only make the same whining crying movie so many times before people become turned off.
Who watches these shows
AAnd lets have a MISS WHITE AMERICA and WHITE PANTHER MOVEMENT along with a WHITE LIVES MATTER ! How stupid are you blacks that demand Special CVonsideration because of your skin color ?
Oscars have now become worthless
Everyday another black “star” appears on Facebook complaining about the Oscars. How come white women don’t complain about MISS BLACK AMERICA? Get a life and stop complaining. It’s falling on deaf ears.
Just have the Black Oscars- like Miss Black America BET
