This is the third time you've made this rather unfunny and irrelevant comment.

Why you've grouped black skin in with a list of disabilities is quite telling though.

Yesterday she had plenty to say for herself but apparently today those comments were misinterpreted. Not sure how her comments could have been misinterpreted, yesterday she seemed quite emphatic.

Yeah, I don't think it's about them not getting awards. It's more that the Oscars shortlists exposes the large disparity between how many white people head movies and how many non-white people get that opportunity.

Considering some of the stuff Spike Lee's said about white people, Rampling's comment fades into insignificance.

I do think it was a case of her misunderstanding the situation. Her original interview implied she hadn't read/heard much about the boycott prior to the interviewer bringing it up and got the wires crossed about what it was about.

I think we all have views on gentrification.

Can someone please tell me just WHAT this thread is about, if it is NOT about the fact that black actors have NOT been nominated for an Oscar for two years running? Please enlighten me.

Yes Spike does not Like our Builders
who buy out local zones to build New High End flats.


Thats OK
he should make a Film on it.

Regeneration
is needed in many Zones


Life In The City

Yes Spike Lee started it off
now a Gang off Actors want to back him.
to Not go to the Oscars
Lack of Black Winners Moan

I say Blacklist* the feckers

* Thats a Business Term Only.

Spike Lee is a gifted film maker but he has a massive chip on those paranoid shoulders and his frequent bleating does no good to the black cause. Sorry - Just my opinion.

Yes he needs to make a Film about This Topic
and add Guns

He might win an oscar....Oh, wait :/

Livia be on the reverse racism ish.

When people feel strongly about an issue, they boycott. End of. In case of big white men they raid a building with big guns and they get sympathy. When it comes to blacks and what they feel strongly about-oh they're exaggerating, ALL LIVES MATTER. Sigh

I'm pretty offended and annoyed by this comment when my whole post was about how Hollywood is really stale and there's a lack of roles for everyone in general because all Hollywood cares about is investing hundreds of millions in superhero movies and other franchises instead of actually writing original screenplays and writing diverse stories and characters... I find your comment moronic, frankly. I'm not trying to justify white people being given awards.

For Livia. Got to point out that Cube only got applause after Hugh Laurie agreed with him.

Audience must be a bunch racists then.

What were they waiting for. I dunno. Do you?

The guy with the applaud card.

He should have held the board up earlier.

Got to love the sheeple.

Well I find your post moronic too as it's typical when there's an issue black people bring into attention, people make it about everyone. It can't just focus on the point blacks are trying to make. Another example is I don't know who, maybe Reese Witherspoon, is now talking about lack of roles for women in hollywood and etc. Fair enough, it needs to be discussed, but when gays bring up their issues people give them respect enough to let it be about the gays and how they experience things from their point of view and they give them support. I don't see millions of people jumping on it trying to diminish what they are trying to bring to the forefront. This is just another example of black lives matter...nah ALL lives matter.

Perhaps wealthy actors, producers and writers etc could sponsor talented black/ ethnic minority writers, then maybe more roles will be written specifically for them. Surely then the natural step would be for all good actors to be given parts judged on their ability to act.:shrug:

I agree with you. It should be about all races. Another thing that annoys the hell out of me is that this group complain about the use of the N word. They are 100% right to complain about the n word and get it stopped from being used but then you watch a rap song on youtube from major black stars and they use the term over and over again as if it's nothing. If the n word is a big no no then it should not be used by anyone, no one should use that term but to me they think it's ok for them to use the n word but everyone else can't and that goes directly against the point they are trying to make.

For *********ks sake. :facepalm:

If you want to discuss that then start a thread., It has been discussed a few times on this forum.
