Enough with this bullsh1t racist card.

Most people identify with their own culture for entertainment.


Given that America is overwhelmingly White and that not everyone can identify with a niggerfied character makes black entertainment restricted to the ghettos of America.

It is a vicious cycle as black entertainers have to provide the character refrence for black viewers thereby perpetuating the niggerfied culture.

Black entertainers are at the epicenter of destroying black America with their ever stereotypical roles which they will gladly accept just to get a pay cheque.

Bill Cosby was an advocate against this black exploitation by black entertainers and Hollywood and that is why they had to shut him down with rape accusations.

I concur. You are very intelligent.

Are you saying that they are no Black actors who deserve to be nominated this year? The truth is Hollywood or Oscar or Grammy are white people thing.

It is an award that rewards talent and not a quota system thing.

If black actors did not meet up with their white counterparts based on performance why should they be compensated based on their skin color?

Isn't that on its own racist?

Even in the music industry it's the same talk more of Oscar. The truth is, Black entertainers in America need to work their butt-out to get recognized or lick some a*sses to get a reputable role. Ever wonder why it is so difficult for dark skin actors to succeed in Hollywood. Think man..

Let the blacks come together and make a movie that is worthy of an oscar award,playing racist tunes coz dey are not nominated is bull-sh1t.
If I may ask,which black actor or movie with a black as the leading role deserves an oscar this year.
Lupita said just few words in '12 years a slave' and got an oscar,if we are truthful,she doesn't deserve it.
Blacks and their wailings are what is giving the likes of Donald Trump and others courage to spit poo @ blacks.
Wetin concern me with movies,when I can listen to real hardcore rap dropped daily by blacks. Music over movies anytime. But I love porn videos sha.

If you think racism is dead then you are living in different planet. Honestly, most black actors are superb and even work much harder to achieve success than their white counterparts but not genuinely appreciated. Not quite long ago, blacks were called monkeys.. #Fact.

And sooh, we black even called ourselves names like Kenyans hungary six pack and so on. If whites call us monkey then we shld answer.

Black America has only themselves to blame.

The leading actors in black America got into Hollywood via black movies that presented them as ghetto superstars.

Comics like Chris Rock are notorious for their vulgar language and reducing of black communities.

It does then suffice that most leading black actors are sell out to the system.

Is there any role for a black actor in a movie set in Victorian England? No!

Check the nominees and see the genre of films they starred in and it will give you a clue on why there were no black actors.

This affirmative action nonsense has gone too far.

Because there was no black actor/actress nominated in this year's Oscars does that warrant the entire black Hollywood from boycotting the event?

What of the year's prior that no Asian or Latin American was nominated did the Asians and Latinos boycot the event?


This is like having a situation were white people boycot the 100m Olympics final because no white athlete made it to the finals.

If black America wants to be taken seriously then they should start doing serious films and not the usual vulgar pulp movies they are used to making and starring in.

These black actors are also to blame alongside their music counterparts in furthering the nigger culture among black Americans with their rubbish vulgar ghetto inspired films.

I believe the oscars should go on without paying any heed to their foolish overrated egos.

I still can't watch a black American movie to the end. I have tried severally but most are full of Ganstarism, curse words and explicit sexual content, plus they often lack creativity. Blacks need to step up to be able to compete.

However, we all know that racism exists, so I suspect it is influencing some unfavorable decisions being made towards blacks involvement

As someone said the Oscars is a symptom of the problem. How many roles are there for black actors each year compared to white actors How many black actors got to act lead roles this yeah shebi its when you get the opportunity that you can excel. The quality of black movies are bad because the Hollywood Executives do not fund black movies. So most black movies are independently funded. If Blacks had access to the big budgets that Whites have access to it will be an even playing field , right now its not. They should stop writing roles specifically for one race or the other instead except for historical movies everyone should be able audition for any role and then give it to the best man despite color. Right now what you have is they will write a script and specify they need only 2 blacks in the whole movie. Right now Hollywood favors Whites over people of color.

So the problem is not Oscars but the system itself.

By the way the word Negroes is disrespectful to all black people. Mods you should censor such a word

Nice view but I do not concur that promoting ones tribe over any other is wrong or should be discouraged. The whites do not have to sacrifice all the advantage they have endowed the entire universe with to please any tribe.

The black race should get its act together, the Asians do not care about Oscar because they learnt to develop their society/awards according to what's desirable to them.

What millennium will Africa/blacks be able to stand on its feet ? The black in the USA have the advantage n should learn from the musicians, athletes that excel in their field n are able to break the jinx n penetrate the divides.

The Whites will groom/nurture a potentially to success, what are all the black that have excelled done ? I can remember when Taylor won her first Grammy n Dicapirio in titanic, they are now mega pros.

What talent did Bill Cosby, L Jackson n co nurtured to success or they are simply waiting on the White to do that all over again after they were given the opportunity by the same white ?

Are you saying Beast Of No Nation by Idris Elba does not deserve an Academy Award?.. The truth is, Hollywood need more black representation and black people need to pull out their resources to empower their own. Over 90% of Academy voters are white males.

Idris Elbas performance in Beast of No Nation was good and d movie was nice (not a favorite of mine tho...leaves u feeling there's something missing) BUT it's going up against very Stiff competition this year n that's the fact.
Granted the Academy voters need to have a lil more MINORITY representation but that shouldn't take away from d fact that it IS all about performance.

Whichever way you want to look at it or express your opinion, It all boils down to racism and the notion that white sells. The ghetto thing is a representation of the society or communities these black artists originate from and as they sow higher, they try to balance their lives with the new environment they found themselves after generating success. Dark skinned Blacks in the United States have lower socioeconomic status, more punitive relationships with the criminal justice system, diminished prestige, and less likelihood of holding elective office compared with their lighter counterparts. This phenomenon of “colorism” is glaring so, I think it's safe to say Black people have come a long way to achieve success. Will Smith and Idris Elba deserve to be nominated in the next month Academy Award and these are not ghetto stars but A list actors..

The Academy president is a black woman with roughly over 6000 members. 94% are whites and 77% are males and the average age is 63.. Will Smith was phenomena in Concussion, Idris Elba- Beast Of Nation, Michael B Jordan in Creed and of course Straight Outta Compton were all snubbed. Am not saying they should win but at least get nominated because these are fantastic movies. It's injustice.
