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.

So if you are black you automatically should be in the running for an Oscar? Not based on your perfromance or any of the other actors but by your skin color?
The Black Oscars,the black Miss America, and so on but that’s not racist only if it says white in front.
Leo Decaprio gets snubbed EVERY YEAR! Johnny Depp gets snubbed EVERY YEAR! Sir, its not the color of your skin that got you snubbed. Deal with it
If Black actors, actresses, producers, directors, and bleeding heart White liberals are so upset about the Oscars, why don’t they start their own version of things, “The Black Oscars”. They’ve already got the BET awards (which nobody watches). Why not “The Black Oscars” (nobody will watch that, either)? To be nominated for an Oscar, you have to turn in an OUTSTANDING performance. While many Blacks did a very good job over the last year, their performances were not as good as those of the folks who were nominated. There’s no racism here, it’s just good, better, and best, and it’s the best who will get the Oscar nominations.
Adios!
How many whites get nominated from the BET awards? Oh!! They are only for black people. Do away with BET awards, NAACP since there is no such thing as a White peoples group. What fair is fair.
That’s Racist
Change is good
