The Official 89th Academy Awards Thread - ABC, 8:30PM ET

that's not my quote.


And is identifying as gay really a legitimate part of the "black experience?" ... it can be informed and influenced by the overarching black experience, which is nuanced and varied.

they got shyt fukked up and tryin' to make it equal to -- and even surpass -- the experience.

...and there is a general theme of the black experience, which always goes back to marginalization and inequality. Not saying that produces a monolith, but a shared perspective and ideally, a collective identity... but there are blacks who haven't had the most intense measure of the experience.

If you're black and gay then yes it's let of the black experience. That's the point I'm making homie. I get what you're saying. There's more to being black than being marginalized and oppressed. You're 100% right but that doesn't mean there aren't guys or girls out there with stories similar to moonlight.

Tinfoil crew am gonna ignore this

Let me get this straight. If they had the wrong card which was for the best actress so what was the card when they announced Emma Stone won? Did she really win?

She did. There's always duplicate cards just in case.

it's part of a societal experience that's not exclusive to blacks. the desire to self-disclose and be accepted for intentional actions that allow some people to form and express a homosexual identity within the sphere of the black community is not the black experience, but again, it IS informed and influenced by the black experience, which has a general theme, but is still nuanced, varied and unique for black individuals.

Don't let them fool you, homie.

they're trying to obfuscate the issue, and that can't be allowed. Some things need to have CLEAR delineation for advancement to continue.

Damn, poor Beatty man. I legit thought he was just shaky and messing up but he was actually trying to signal to Faye that something was up and they gave him the wrong card.

She thinks he's fukking up too, sees La La Land and just yells it out The way dude snatches the card from Warren and it wasn't even his fault.

It's not about confusing me homie. I know brothers who are gay. They've had similar issues and similar experiences. That's what I'm saying. The black experience isn't one thing. It isn't two things. It's multiple things with multiple stories. My story won't be yours and vice versa nor should it be. And there's nothing wrong with doing a coming of age story about a black boy who happens to be gay. Me saying that's part of the black experience lies simply in that he's black and that's his experience. We get caught up in trying to tell one story when we all don't have one story. I went to St. John's but I went to grad school with people who went to HBCUs. Doesn't make my experience in queens any less black than their experiences.

Idk man. Does the argument come down to how one feels about homosexuality? Cause the shyt doesn't bother me at all.

[Sunalmighty]

I hope Arrival and Lion do well but I think it's more important that Hell or High Water and Manchester by the Sea don't win anything.
