Al Sharpton Calls For Emergency Meeting To Address 'Appalling' All-White Oscar Nomine

[Svnla]

Aren't Hollywood the most liberal folks? Don't we have more critical things to worry about than some movie award?

"The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon.

He should call an emergency meeting on all of these stupid award shows, period. I can't stand the narcissism.

I need to hold an emergency meeting to address this appalling all-black basketball teams all over the NBA.

How unfair.

What? I thought everyone in Hollywood was Jewish. Are they token whites now too? I can't keep that pyramid of oppression straight, I never know who's a minority and when.

 

[unixwizzard]

I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards

Emergency Meeting == Shakedown for more "donations".

He will simply demand more payment from the execs, and if they don't pay or don't pay enough, he will organize a mass protest of the Oscars.


My opinion: James Earl Ray shot the wrong guy.

 

[trenchfoot]

Well, it just so happens I agree with Sharpton.....in a sense. These awards programs should have in them every single ethnicity and sexual preference on the face of this earth represented in each and every instance, in each and every category and in each and every sponsored commercial.

That should make him happy, shouldn't it?

I mean, shouldn't he also be arguing why there isn't a porn category included too?

I'd like for him to show up at the Imagen Awards and pull that same stunt.

 

[smackababy]

I agree with Sharpton and am glad he is doing this. Finally, Tyler Perry will get the much deserved credit for his role in 'Madea does some shit again'.

Because black leaders have such a great history of being accepting towards Jews. Sharpton has his own past there, right along Jackson.

 

[Subyman]

A meeting with whom? His circle jerk posey of extortionists? Hollywood, keeping the black man down (WTF?)

yeah.. because we all know that Jews are the whitest of white..

The producers, directors, and writers are Jewish, but the money is all Italian mob money. Mobsters don't like blacks.

 

[LegendKiller]

How many black Jews do you know of that dominate Hollywood. I mean, on the same scale as Weinstein bros, Speilberg...etc.

How many black Hasidic Jews have you met? After living in NYC, I never saw one. Not to say they don't exist, but most of the ones I saw were pretty pasty white.

 

[Blanky]

I guess he will be protesting the nomination is Selma as well. This guy is a despicable racist.

Latinos are a bigger minority than blacks but they don't seem to have a popular race pimp like sharpton to scream about silly nonsense.

 

[smackababy]

Likely a meeting with Obama. Obama seems to accept Sharpon as some kind of leader of the black community and talks with the idiot.

Now that's just wrong.

Meanwhile... youths across this nation are involved in gun-violence every day. Their "leaders" care more about the Oscars.

 

[FerrelGeek]

Al must not have extorted enough money from Sony to pay off his back taxes.

Give it time.

 

[smackababy]

Give it time.

This won't be for 10 or so generations. Most minorities, with the exception of blacks, are from impoverished nations very recently. They understand that some things might be against them here in the US, due to their minority status, but know it is still better than where they came from.

This kind of idiocy won't become a problem until more minorities are "from here" for long enough, they don't really have a home nation outside of the US. And, by that time, there is a very good chance the political climate will change from old, white people running things to younger and more progressive people of all colors.

 

[corwin]

So affirmative action for movie awards now?

How about we just give everybody a blue ribbon and call it a day? Will that shut his whiney ass up?

 

[nageov3t]

I bet this will magically all go away after the MPAA gives a few thousand to his foundation.

he's a master shakedown artist.
