Hello I am Oscar and I am a racist. Post here if you are a racist Oscar, as well.

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

im pretty sure this is because there aren't many black leading actors/actresses in the top roles relative to white equivalents

this isn't inherently an oscars problem, just a film problem in general
