I'll post what i want thank you very much.:wavey:

Even if you're posting things that have been posted before and thoroughly discredited. OK then if that what you want.

Before I discuss this you need to understand the history of the word . Go do that then meet me back here.
:thumbs:

No.

Shame cuz if you understood the history of the word you'd realise why the point you made was so stupid.

I do understand the word. Just like you understand that attacking forum members on threads is breaking the rules in here.

I didn't say it should be about ALL races. White women want to complain about lack of roles and white men also but it still remains that they get more recognition than blacks do. And white women get paid more than other ethnicities and considered more for roles so no it shouldn't be about ALL races right now. When another group brings in an issue listen to them, they're experiencing it.


About the N word I hate it too but there's a difference between ***** and Ni---r. The difference is that white people have a long history of using that word maliciously to make blacks feel like a quarter of a human being and they still use it.

No you dont cuz if you did then you'd never have asked such a question. You'd already know the answer.

I'm not gonna have this discussion with you until you understand the history and the many meanings of that word. :thumbs:

Great!:wavey:

Whats great?

That you are now going to leave me in peace.

Its probably for the best to leave you in peace with your own thoughts.:wavey:

Thank you i appreciate that.:wavey:

Is it just black people who got shut out of the awards this year? Because I don't see any other minorities there either. It's an issue that affects more than just black people, this is not an issue that's black only and it's offensive to suggest otherwise - Hollywood is an elitist, corrupt and backward institution - that's the real problem. Why are you bringing gay people into it now as if it's any easier for openly gay actors and actresses to get cast in anything? I don't like your militant views.

Don't even try. Latino's and Asians are also complaining yes. In trying to steer away from the problem you're highlighting it furher. White people and their supremacy needs to stop.

I can include gays if I want because a lot of times people bring blacks into gay issues for comparison purposes.

I'm specifically trying to highlight the problem :facepalm:................. I agree, white supremacy needs to stop - but considering the original issue was Will Smith throwing a fit because he didn't get nominated for an award when he's a mediocre actor who's beloved because of his charismatic personality, I can't really take it seriously on that level. I think you're just looking for a fight and I don't get why you picked out my post and called me condescending or said I was 'whitesplaining' when I was doing anything but. It's rude.

Good ****ing grief.

Stop what? living?

Su-prem-acy...

Tsskkkkk

The most supreme job in the World is currently occupied by a Black man.

Oh the you got a black president so all your issues are invalid argument...I was waiting.

I love all of the colours

Yes that old chestnut.

Skittles philosophy?

..this is what Don Cheadle has said...


African-American actor and director Don Cheadle has said the Academy’s planned membership changes to improve diversity are a “step in the right direction”.

The Academy announced a new aim to double the number of female and minority members by 2020.

Three new seats will be added to to its board of governors in an effort to improve diversity, and lifetime voting rights will be limited.

According to US publication Deadline, Don said: “I think it is a step in the right direction, a needed step.”

Speaking at a screening of his new movie Miles Ahead at Sundance Film Festival, he said the problem went beyond the Academy and was a broader issue in the film industry.

“People really have to have access to tell the stories they want to tell. So what we really need is people in positions to greenlight those stories, not a hunk of metal,” he said.

Don, who was nominated in 2005 in the best actor category for his performance in Hotel Rwanda, had previously joked with Oscars host Chris Rock that he was attending the evening as a valet.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, with no ethnic minority actors or actresses on the list, he tweeted:

Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs said in a statement on Friday: “The Academy is going to lead and not wait for the industry to catch up. These new measures regarding governance and voting will have an immediate impact.”

She announced plans for an “ambitious, global campaign to identify and recruit qualified new members who represent greater diversity.”

..I think this is the whole point really and why the Oscars are being boycotted, it's because they 'represent' and where great performance/great movies etc are acknowledged by the Academy...but it's not about that piece of metal, that statue or any begrudging of not having been nominated...so in a way been confusing for people like Charlotte Rampling, Michael Caine etc...it's more 'well you can't win the lottery unless you're in it' rather than 'how come they won it, I'm more deserving then them'...and right from the ground floor/the decision making of who gets what part, ethnic minorities are not fairly or equally represented and that's where the change is needed and that's where it has to be addressed from an industry like Hollywood, which is a leader...and through this, there are changes/positive changes that are now going to be made, so it's been the perfect place to speak out, for Spike to speak out but maybe also a mixed bag of a misunderstanding of some thinking that his voice has been about there being no black actors/actresses being nominated this year or last year...these things aren't happening because there is just not the equal opportunities for that to be possible...possible 'neutral' roles should be looked at by 'neutral' people, which means a fair representation and not a white monopoly ....
