Why is this such an issue?

the greatest thing is that next year when a PoC actor wins an Oscar, everyone is going to claim they got it bc the Oscar award didn't want to seem racist

congrats liberals

i also find it interesting that the same people who claim "there should be more diversity in the academy" can't tell me which of the white nominees should be replaced by someone else of color

The Smith's only care about themselves.

@DrPeePee That is still a personal choice issue, you can't just make people want to be actors. Also most people don't make any money being an actor. They're a lot of better jobs out there

Why does no one make a point about Asians? Or Latinos? Or Indian? How about the lack of transgender actors/actresses? What about gay/lesbian/bisexuality/(insert sexuality here)?

Stop making this about just black vs white.

"..it is not always easy to perceive with clarity the actual nature of political arrangements and the hidden assumptions on which they are based. The realization that this may be the case has led in modern times to the production of a great variety of 'conspiracy theories', alleging that what on paper is a benign disposition of political institutions and practices, is in practice a cover for the domination of a particular group or coalition of forces, whose ambitions militate against the common good (or simply against the interests of those excluded from power by such arrangements)."

i mean that was you guys. black ppl saved themselves from the bs, and brought a lot of good social change to the country. im just saying the current movement seems a bit misguided at times and is falling into the same pitfalls of presuming inherent superiority

i think there is some apparent systemic racism in the general society still, as it's now being called, but black americans tend to overlook the fact that their so-called culture can sometimes be pretty garbage, tbh. maybe that's my view as a white male, but i'm sorry, there are objective levels of quality and some rap is just garbage, just like 'black' movies are garbage (just like some white trash movies are bad - they're just trash - e.g. any Larry the Cable Guy movie). it's like black americans have collectively just decided to label all their works of art as top quality stuff, simply because it's from 'black culture'... which is just a bad idea for any artistic or societal movement

the real cultural accomplishments will stand out. maybe there still is a lot of constraint occurring, but i do feel like American culture has come a long long way away from the racism of less than a century ago.

and yet you have blacklivesmatter protesters who seem to think their 'struggle' is greater than MLK's... news flash: it really isn't even close


Thank you massa for telling black people how much better white people have made their lives compared to how it was before :)
