Blacks are boycotting the Oscars

[Kermit]

"I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living and has made millions and millions of dollars from the very people that you're talking about boycotting just because you didn't get a nomination, just because you didn't win?" said Hubert. "That's not the way life works, baby."



Janet Hubert was the original woman who played Will Smith's aunt on The Fresh Price and apparently there has been bad blood between her and Will Smith ever since she was let go from the show and replaced with another actress.

So give them their "Participant" trophy and call it a day.

spike lee is an asshole.

straight outta compton was a decent movie but they should know its target audience isn't the oscar voters.

I think alot of the people that saw it were White Liberals, who figure it makes them look better in black folks eyes to say they watched it.

Never liked Spike,find the guy to be very obnoxious.

[Kermit]

Wasn't Spike Lee the assclown that tweeted out the wrong address for George Zimmerman and put the lives of innocent people in danger?

[daneblazer]

Tyler Perry should have made a Madea goes to SBR

Madea you broke. Boy you so crazy. Cackle cackle cackle

Need to ban the NBA because enough Hispanics did not win awards. Ban hip hop also for the lack of Asians involved.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Edit: Nevermind. KLC posted pretty much same thing I did.

[bradthebloke]

How does "Ride Along 2" not even get an Oscar nomination?? Did it come out too late?

was thinking "fifty shades of black" myself

[BEANTOWNJIM]

ITS GOOD BLACKS ARE BOYCOTTING THE OSCARS NOW PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HAVING THERE WALLETS LIFTED

[alling]

I agree. No blacks running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Boycott them in November elections.

Can't stand Spike Lee and I'm not a racist.. Never liked that little white racist weasel...

I'm not feeling this race card thing in Hollywood, white guys are simply better actors then blacks still, and I'm sorry if the famous blacks in Hollywood are bitching and moaning over it... That's keeping it real..

Guys like Denzel Washington, Wil Smith, Morgan Freeman and Samuel Jackson are outstanding actors though... Worthy of Oscar considerations perhaps...

[TheMoneyShot]

Is this about Will Smith in that new football movie about concussions?

I personally believe he's horrible at playing that part.

That accent was lousy.

What are Oscars?

[darrell74]

Good job black people- you and Mel Gibson have something in common

[RickyRoma]

Spike Lee has some fcking nerve, he's not giving Oscar back. What a hypocrite.

[RickyRoma]

Systematic racism effects all minorities, Black's especially EVERY DAY maybe not the same ones all the time buy often enough there's a significant wage gap among other gaps that hinder blacks. If that issue is resolved first then black ppl can stop complaining about it.

[bettilimbroke999]

Blacks have never done anything worthy of an award other than for most welfare babies by different men

Actually, no. Even if you bend over backwards and give into the demands of any group, whether it be by race, sex, or pay grade, it'll never be enough. Groups will then push the line a little more. That's how they are programmed. Easier to whine and bellyache then to actually work for it.

TELL DA TOOTH!

I've seen better acting from Corky on Life Goes On

Blacks of course feel anything the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is in deserves an Oscar...look Will Smith is good in Men in Black and Independence Day and roles that are basically cartoonish...he's the black Robert Downey Jr....act ridiculously overconfident and say a few funny catchphrases and that's it

Oh the world's about the be blown up by aliens in 30 seconds welp anybody got the time (puts on shades) bc its time TO KICK SOME ALIEN ASS! THAT'S the role Will Smith was born to play...but the problem is you don't get many Academy Awards for it

[Mr KLC]

Al Sharpton asking for a boycott of the show, requesting people not to watch it. I think this is the first time I have ever agreed with Al Sharpton. Of course, I wasn't planning on watching that elitist garbage in the first place.

Ha, I remember some of my black friends raving over his performance in Seven Pounds. They said he deserved an oscar for that role. I guess they forgot it was an awful movie that was universally panned be critics.

It's like when their favorite black actor who usually does action-adventure/comedies show his "range" with a dramatic role, he automatically deserves an award.

[wikkidinsane]

They are boycotting the 98% white voters. I agree with the protest. Over 90% are white males over 63 . And for the guy who said Denzel just won a Golden Globes award: This is true, but it's not the Oscars. Having said that, I hope my bou Leo win this year because he deserves it.

Denzel won an oscar for Training Day

[Mr KLC]

So give them their "Participant" trophy and call it a day.

No they took it away when they found out he was black....told him they don't give Oscars to niggers...admittedly that was a bit racist

[JIBBBY]

I remember back in the day wishing Shaq would go running head first for an out of bounds ball and taking out Spike Lee in the 1st row at a Knicks game... It never happened

[JIBBBY]

Blacks have never done anything worthy of an award

I gotta disagree -

A black man invented refrigeration and air conditioning which I think was one of the greatest achievements next to discovering electricity.. Props to that black man!!!

I agree, once you get on the path of receiving free hand outs it like a raging river that doesn't stop and it's passed down to generations..

I use to manage apartment buildings in the hood and everyone I practically rented to at the time was on Section 8 free housing and or welfare. I go back to visit friends once in a while now and some of the kids of those parents I rented too are on welfare, section 8 and or disability now.. It's a vicious cycle as there are literally communities of people in the hood waiting by the mailboxes at the end of the month for those Government checks to come..

It's just crazy and out of control!!!

Oh c'mon invented refrigeration and air conditioning....yea right....seriously bro c'mon at least read your article the only thing he did was adapt refrigeration to trucks (a whitey with Downs Syndrome would've figured that out)....I mean really there's no need for this we all know the only thing blacks have discovered is welfare.

If I put a lightbulb in a car do you credit me for inventing the lightbulb?
