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:
Need changes in NBA to black, same thing!
Black list them. Don’t give them parts. They want awards given to them even though they didn’t get the votes.
Cry me a river, I have never seen a white person win the BET Awards. So what does that mean. Nothing. I am so sick of people making race an issue about everything. Anyone whining about this should tell us that those actors should never sell another film. I know for myself I will never buy another Spike Lee, Woopie Goldberg, Samuel Jackson, Jada Pinkett Smith movie
I think we should forget the Oscar’s all together! Their pay checks are enough reward!
If I can’t earn it then you must give it to me. The Black Creedo.
You need a crying towel and a box of pampers
If you don’t like it, go out and start your own awards program. Don’t run around whining like a little$#%&!@*
Get over yourselves
WA WA WA
Sure, forget talent, just give them an award because they’re fortunate enough to be born black!! Ridiculous.
