Chris Rock And Jada Pinkett Call Out The Oscars For Lack Of Diversity

[USSInsiders]

I thought Michael B's performance was better than Cranston. Why was Cranston's better? And you are making no sense. In one sentence you mention how Jordan's performance doesn't measure up. Then in the next sentence you mention politics

Read the whole post. If you actually went to UF and not just rooting for the football team I'm assuming you're smart enough to gather what I'm saying in it.

Also, I forgot about Sam Jackson. He was phenomenal. Him and Kurt Russell deserved nominations imo.

No there weren't man. Lemme guess. Will Smith? Hell no. He sucked. Michael B. Jordan. There were no Oscar bait roles with black actors. People need to quit bytching. THis is how hollywood works.

Unless there's a MLK biopic coming out or Denzel isn't starring in some shytty action movie, nobody is getting nominated.

We aren't talking about how hollywood works now. We are talking about which performance was better. I think there were black actors who had performances better than the white men who got nominated.

And why are hating on all the black actors? Honestly you sounding very

These two men are white Puerto Rican and Guatemalan

Both dudes look latino, both dudes are persons of color...why you are making a big deal out of this is kinda silly.

I understand what you said cause I repeated it back to you.
1. You said that Will and Jordan didn't have as good of a performance as Cranston. I disagree
2. Then you mention "oscar bait"
3. Then you go into politics

For the third time, Hollywood doesn't work like that. You think that fukked up pedophile Jew-run institution is a meritocracy.

I outlined the formula for you. Better actor or more seasoned actor + oscar bait role = Oscar. Anyone that knows how the academy works knows this.

Strong reading comprehension if you gathered that I'm hating on black actors in that post or any of the others I made

Carry on with your fake outrage bro

Not making a big deal, just making a clear distinction
Latino is not a race. Person of color(silly term) is a generic term to mean non-white person.
The two men you mentioned are white-latinos
These men are heavily represented in Hollywood and on novellas

Nikka I'm not outraged

Nikka I'm not outraged

Hence why I said "fake outrage."

@ this argument always coming up. You can fight for social justice and things like this.

And it's never fukking accurate either

Hollywood's Lack of Diversity Mocked by America Ferrera and Eva Longoria

At the 2016 Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Sunday night, actresses America Ferrera and Eva Longoria used wit to make a point to Hollywood about its subtle racism: stop consistently mistaking Latina actresses for each other.

Before presenting the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama, Longoria and Ferrera shared a funny but powerful exchange:

“I’m Eva Longoria, not Eva Mendes,” Longoria, star of “Telenovela,” said.

“And, hi, I’m America Ferrera, not Gina Rodriguez,” Ferrera, star of “Superstore,” said next.

“Neither one of us are Rosario Dawson,” added Longoria.

“Nope. Well said, Salma,” said Ferrera, referring to Salma Hayek.

“Thank you, Charo,” said Longoria.

During the Golden Globe nominations announcements on Dec. 10, a Twitter post on the award show’s official account confused Ferrera, one of the announcers of the nominees, with actress Gina Rodriguez, resulting in backlash from fans.

chris rock put out an essay last year i think talking about white hollywood.

he goes into the fact that it's not just a problem at the actor/writer level.. it starts all the way down at the bottom of the studio ranks. even those positions are held exclusively for white people.

You're telling me no Mexicans are qualified to do anything at a studio? Really? Nothing but mop up? What are the odds that that's true? The odds are, because people are people, that there's probably a Mexican David Geffen mopping up for somebody's company right now. The odds are that there's probably a Mexican who's that smart who's never going to be given a shot. And it's not about being given a shot to greenlight a movie because nobody is going to give you that — you've got to take that. The shot is that a Mexican guy or a black guy is qualified to go and give his opinion about how loud the boings are in Dodgeball or whether it's the right shyt sound you hear when Jeff Daniels is on the toilet in Dumb and Dumber. It's like, "We only let white people do that." This is a system where only white people can chime in on that. There would be a little naivete to sitting around and going, "Oh, no black person has ever greenlighted a movie," but those other jobs? You're kidding me, right? They don't even require education. When you're on the lower levels, they're just about taste, nothing else. And you don't have to go to Harvard to have taste.

'Top Five' Filmmaker Chris Rock Pens Blistering Essay on Hollywood's Race Problem: "It's a White Industry"

 

[Da King]

Sorry, don't give fukk what Chris Uncle Tom Rock says, if he really is upset then why the fukking hell is he still hosting that racist event?

He knows it's racist but he's going to still be up there tap dancing for those cacs

 

[Da King]

...

And they were all "******" roles, don't get it twisted

 

[No1]

How come we don't see Asian or Hispanic groups crying about this shyt? theyre too busy worrying about shyt that really matters than some pat on the back.

Yes, they do. Why do people always try to prop up other races to downplay black people with so much ignorance? You literally do not know what you're talking about. Just say you don't care but do not come in here trying to talk down on people of color for talking about something in their industry.

There are enough black people in the entertainment industry with money and stroke to break away and create their own shyt.

Black people have developed a culture of "please, accept me"...instead of just going ahead and doing their own shat, and supporting it...
