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:
Or that just because the movie is a BLACK movie it needs to win an oscar. How ridiculous can they get. ?
Exactly… Also quit making the black ghetto movies with gangs, violence, rap, etc. No one wants to see that.
smubbed? OR, maybe you weren’t as good as others – did that ever occur to these racists
I know. Most black people are like most white people, they work, live normal lives, etc. Why not just make movies starring black people….why do they always have to be the victim of something?
HA$#%&!@*hole how many WHITE people were elected at the bet awards???
Give all them po black folk a trophy……….be done with it!!
I like that ” affirmative action Oscar award”. If I was black ( im hispanic) I’ll be so offended because it’s telling me I’m dumb and due to political correctness I have to include blacks. Wow.
Stop having these awards and then you want hurt anyones feeling…. get a life loosers, I am so sick of all the blacks complaining, they get a whole month of special history, all the junk done just for them but we are so racist to them poor babies, go back to africa
DEMANDS SOUNDS FAMILIAR HUH
I watched the “Selma” film, it was more of a documentary and not very interesting at all……I thought it would be educational, it was c**p.
