Won't attend Oscars over the "issue" with too many white nominees... Or so I've heard
Is he joking or is he, despite all his success, just as self-victimizing as some poor minority sob?
-
maybe they should have a black Oscars like the mobos for music
or just give them all the awards for everything
even if they are shit
-
Hebrews boycotting Oscars .. you dont say .. first i heard of this,

I don't think he was even nominated or invited. I guess I'm going to not go to the Playboy mansion this weekend.

Somehow, I think they would find something else wrong. The statuette looks too caucasian et cetera.

No issues with it.

Let's briefly review the amazing performances of black actors in Hollywood in 2015.
First and most importantly, Denzel Washington took the year off. So that explains that.
Morgan Freeman did the voiceover in Ted 2, and starred in the straight to video action films Last Knights and Momentum. Fail.
Will Smith as an African doctor falsely credited (in the movie) with discovering CTS in football players. Will butchered the accent and had the most obvious Oscar-bait soliloquy in film history. Fail.
Michael Jordan played the role of a boxer who doesn't really have to overcome any handicaps or speech impediments in his quest for the title. While blacks are griping that Stallone got a nomination and Jordan didn't, Stallone is receiving a sympathy nomination for his 40 years of playing the same retard that he created for himself. Besides, most Academy members saw the name Michael Jordan and wondered when they made a Space Jam sequel.
Forrest Whitaker kept an eye out for Oscar roles but couldn't find anything this year.
Jamie Foxx was too busy staging rescues to take on a starring role after deciding he didn't want to spend two hours being called a Ni66er in another Tarantino movie.
Samuel Jackson sat in a cabin and got called a Ni66er for two hours while spending the final thirty minutes calling Jennifer Jason Leigh a Bitch. He also overacted as Nick Fury in Avengers. Fail.
Don Cheadle appeared in Avengers, failing to free any Rwandans or otherwise cause an impact. Fail.
Anthony Mackie appeared in Avengers as Falcon and also got beat up by the wimpiest superhero ever Ant-Man for which Paul Rudd was also overlooked as an Oscar nominee.
Finally, all seventeen of the Wayans Bros missed out on their usual Oscar nods by failing to make a horribly unfunny satire the entire Year.

So HeBrews won't attend the racist Oscars, leaving all those racist white folk with a big party for themselves with no HeBrews in attendance? Racist white folk must be thrilled. Why HeBrews give white racist folk what they want?

who cares ??

I heard the white actors sre protesting the BET awards in response.

Which eye did he use?

Wouldn't it be a clear case of reverse racism to nominate people just for their skin type?
Or would Jada like to see a category for blacks, whites, asians, mixed etc..?

fuck him and his stupid wife, can't stand his movies anyway
-

To be clear, Reverse Racism means Not racist. Racism is defined as:
"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."
Reverse would mean you're not.

maybe they should have a category called "Best actor named Will Smith"

Well, I figure there will be some backlash and no white folks go to the BET awards.

Well, I don't think that is their position. I don't think they are asserting they should be nominated because of their skin color. They are asserting that despite good performances, they are being overlooked on purpose because of their skin color, i.e., not given fair treatment. I assume if they felt like they were getting a fair, honest look, then they wouldnt mind not being nominated.

They make up ~13% of the population

Hollywood should boycott those two. People at the Oscars should buy up the homo tape that supposedly exist of these two and release them...That will shut them up for awhile...

Fuck this world to hell.
We've got soldiers for the religion of peace everywhere on the globe killing and maiming everyone and anything that doesn't submit, in the correct way, to some fairy tale skymaster called Allah.
The world's leading "leaders" are a bunch of weak, retarded, bought fools who are selling their respective nations to members of the religion of peace.
And lookie here ... Two mega-loaded and hugely celebrated Hollywood actors (oh, brother) are refusing to attend an awards show because they feel them and their black peers in the industry aren't getting the ass-kissing they deserve.
Fuck this world to hell.
And fuck Will and that despicable thing he calls a wife. While we're at it, fuck his crummy kids, too.
(And if Clooney is going along with this, fuck him, as well. I like the guy, but if this is true, I'm no longer a supporter of the Cloonster. Can't wait for the Oscar-worthy ass-fuckin' he's gonna receive from "Amal", oh, brother.)
-
They make up ~13% of the population
Really????? 8) Only 13%?
-
At times, it seems like everything becomes a major issue.
The movie industry is in business to make films which will hopefully be box office hits. Apparently they don't calculate that black folks increase the likelihood of this being the case. Do blacks not go to the movies? Using this logic, there should also be no films with older actors because many older folks do not go to the movies.
-
To be clear, Reverse Racism means Not racist. Racism is defined as:
"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."
Reverse would mean you're not.
So, Maybe I'm using the wrong word.
" neo racism" or whatever. The new kind where the race theory lives on, but in forms of special treatment and self-victimization
It's like, who are talking about races/colors in the first place. To me, it seems like it's the likes of Will Smith.

I'm boycotting Victoria's Secret. As a means to protest of the shallowness of the fashion industry, I will not be dating or having sex with any Victoria's secret models this year.
I absolutely refuse to do it. Someone has to take a stand.

3 white NBA mvp's in 30 years and no one cares. One recent Academy Awards without a black nominated for best actor or actress and the liberal media loses it. Glad that one of the left's most famous award show is a victim of liberal political correctness. Affirmative action will come to next year's Academy Awards. 13.2% of the population will be nominated at a 25% rate. If you're going to be politically correct don't forget the Hispanics and Asians.

Most the NBA is black so yeah, less whites will make MVP. Would agree with the rest of what you say though.

If they had released RIDE ALONG 2 in the last week of December all this bullshit could have been avoided.

Not trying to break balls but...Most of the USA is white, so how is that not exactly the same? They want awards to be handed out based on race rather than merit. Why just in Hollywood, why not the NBA too? They want blacks to win for the sake of being black. Why can't whites win in the NBA for the sake of their whiteness? Seriously fuck these people. They will never stop with this bullshit as long as it keeps working. I'm boycotting Will Smith and Jada Pinkett starting now. I've already been boycotting that POS Spike Lee. The boycott would be more obvious if any of them made a decent movie in the last 10 years. Fucking phaggotts.

That does not matter here, we're talking about the NBA and how it's more likely a black man will win as the league is mostly black. Seems to me that makes sense? Not racism. And is there really a white guy in the running for MVP? Dunno, I stopped watching after the Jordan era.
-
You can't blame Will Smith, it is obvious his home country has oppressed him greatly and he hasn't been afforded the same opportunities as whitey. ;D

Most of the USA (and by extension Hollywood) is white, and yet blacks want more Oscars given to blacks. No mention is given to whether or not the award is deserved or not. Black good, white bad.
Most of the NBA is black, so why not have white people protest the NBA so more MVP awards are given to whites. Same concept. Merit be damned, lets give awards based on race for the sake of "diversity".
-
Another interesting comparison......
* The PGA tour is largely made up of whites. This is looked at as a bad thing, an injustice that must be corrected.
* The NBA is largely made up of blacks. This is fine. Not a problem at all. Nobody trying to do shit about it.
The "lesson" learned is that entrance to the NBA should be based on merit but entrance to the pro golf tour should not.....for some reason.

Oh, brotha'!
Nomination without pigmentation. ::)
Which naturally brings to mind a peculiar wordplay:
Pleurnichard (French -- crybaby)
Nichardo (Caribbean Spanish slang -- N-word)
Hmm?

No shit. I love seeing dipshit liberals eat their own. It's odd because Hollywood is constantly kissing black ass in their "Art". Putting forth a fantasy version of "African Americans".
The down side is now we are going to have to listen to a bunch of Hollywood cucks placate them and legitimize their idiotic point of view.

This just shows that blacks are racist.
Ever hear of a white person boycotting something because no blacks are in it?
It's 2016 - a slave was voted in as president for two terms.
Move along blacks that don't perform shouldn't be entitled to something that they didn't earn just because of pulling out the race card.

Sucks that they are both pouting because Will wasn't nominated for 'concussion' and this year blacks weren't nominated to their preference because I like them both. I enjoy their movies and shows. This recent trend of black people protesting and boycotting when they don't get their way is a childish trend. I thought people were coming together more....seems like society took a step back unfortunately. Look, when there is true racism, I'm on board defending the oppressed, but shit is getting out of hand these days. I can understand if it were 50yrs ago with true widespread and disgusting racism. Take a look at what's going on at colleges and black groups (and confused non-black liberal apologists) demanding shit. Check out the story about students demands at Oberlin college...black safe zones, demands for black student leaders be paid for protesting activities, etc. Its ridiculous. I imagine some reasonable blacks think this is ridiculous too.

CHeck this out, this is a few items in their 14 page list of demands"
Sponsored Links by
•A 40 percent increase in the number of black students in the school’s jazz department by 2022 (demands related to the jazz department are in general very numerous).
•The elimination of the school’s No Trespass list, which bars certain individuals deemed unsafe from entering campus, because it includes blacks in disproportionate numbers.
•The creation of a bridge program that will recruit recently-released prisoners to enroll at Oberlin for undergraduate courses
•“A more inclusive audition process in the Conservatory that does not privilege Western European theoretical knowledge over playing ability.”
•Adding Africa-centric course requirements for all departments that have existing Western civilization-themed course requirements. For example, history majors are required to take a U.S. history course, so they should also be required to take a course on African history prior to 1800.
•The establishment of special, segregated black-only “safe spaces” across campus, including in the central library and the school’s science building.
•An $8.20/hour stipend for black student leaders who are organizing protest efforts
•The creation of a school busing system for Oberlin, Ohio’s K-12 schools, paid for by the college.
•The immediate firing of eight college employees for various offenses, including music theory professor Allen Cadwallader for “the racist undertones of his course as well as the way in which he treats black Jazz who take his course, which is rooted in white supremacy.”

The bigger question is where were their protests when real civil injustice and unrest were taking place over the last couple years.
Tyrvon Martin, Ferguson, and Baltimore would have been ideal opportunities to make a real and lasting impact.
We all have opinions about Kanye West, but I'll give him credit for going out on a limb and putting his career on the line with his hurricane Katrina tirade , whether I agreed with it or not.
The Smiths protest to "change" (this doesn't mean getting minorities jobs or better roles but award recognition) an industry that they have profited from tremendously is laughable.
Their egos are out of control.
* If the Smiths did take actions to help the issues I mentioned above then I take back what I said, as I've heard more about the Oscar issue.

Smith is just doing what he's told. He has to do what the black elite tells him to do. They have way too much dirt on Smith and his family. If he doesn't follow suit, they'll release the dirt much like they did to Cosby who decided to go against the blame whitey agenda...

i think the last movie i saw with jada (the ONLY thing i have ever seen her in) was collateral with cruise and foxx..
haven't seen a will smith movie since i think the last men in black sequel?.. so neither one means NOTHING to me...
as far as why the b.e.t. awards and b.e.t. itself is NOT racist against whites is the old ole tired reasoning that such a minority HAS to support their own and that it can't be racist against whites because minorities CAN'T BE? racist against whites because whites are the much larger majority and have ALL THE POWER.... really?... yes, like your average day joe has so much power and he knows it.. that he and all white men are so privilege because of their inherent color of their skin and don't have to work for anything they have ever got in life (sarcasm!)....
in regards to sports, it's more simple.. the best athletes are the ones who play.. it's NOT subjective unlike let's say figure skating, bodybuilding, or voting for a movie acting award.....
i read somewhere that someone wrote that even though the black population is only around 13% in the u.s. (and i suspect even lower in hollywood) that they make up 46% of the paying public (i.e. ticket sales) and just for that reason they deserve to have more representations every year at the academy awards? 13% of the population is paying quadruple their number in ticket sales? how is that even mathematically possible.. don't know who this person was online or where they got their information...
and lastly, i'm waiting for ANY black who is boycotting to actually utter the words "mexican/american, asian, native americans, etcetera... WHAT ABOUT THEM! when was the last time ANY of these other minorities were EVER nominated for anything, much less win?...you don't see them flipping out and bitching do you?....

Don Cheadle appeared in Avengers, failing to free any Rwandans or otherwise cause an impact. Fail.
Anthony Mackie appeared in Avengers as Falcon and also got beat up by the wimpiest superhero ever Ant-Man for which Paul Rudd was also overlooked as an Oscar nominee.
Finally, all seventeen of the Wayans Bros missed out on their usual Oscar nods by failing to make a horribly unfunny satire the entire Year.
Excellent! :)

Charlotte Rampling says call for Oscars diversity is 'racist against whites'
by Amanda Michelle Steiner
January 22 2016
First-time Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling says that the conversation surrounding the lack of diversity at this year’s Academy Awards is “racist against whites.”
Speaking to French radio station Europe 1 on Friday morning, Rampling, 69, added, “We can never know whether it’s truly the case, but maybe the black actors didn’t deserve to make it to the final list.”
Asked whether the Academy should introduce quotas, the 45 Years actress responded, “Why classify people? We live in a time now where everyone is more or less accepted.” Rampling added there is always someone who will tell you you’re “too” something (“Him, he’s too black,” “Him, he’s too white”), so why should the Academy introduce measures that would classify people just for the sake of having “lots of minorities everywhere?”
When her interviewer explained that those in the black community feel like a minority within the film industry, Rampling ended the conversation, offering a “no comment.”

It would be a hate crime not to make Bond non-white

Won't attend Oscars over the "issue" with too many white nominees... Or so I've heard
Is he joking or is he, despite all his success, just as self-victimizing as some poor minority sob?
Making race an issue will backfire. If pressure is employed to nominate black actors, it will invalidate any Oscar wins that result, making them about race rather than their actual performance. Quincy Jones' bottom boy can stay home and nobody will miss him.

With a black host and with Spike Lee getting a lifetime achievement what the fuck are they complaining about? Tell the Troot, Tell the troot.
-
So is the next James Bond going to be black? ???
Yes. I just heard the next Bond is going to be black. Hollywood released early pictures of the new James Bond car in the next film. Sneak preview below..

why MUST 13% of the population be at least 50% of my TV & movies?
How exactly is this racist?
Only 13% of the Oscars in TOTAL should ever be black...
the damn BET Awards are too racist... not enough Asians winning..
WTF?? ???

The Academy is racist. I still can't believe John Cho was overlooked for his amazing delivery of the phrase MILF in American Pie. At least give him a nomination for supporting actor.

Smith is just doing what he's told. He has to do what the black elite tells him to do. They have way too much dirt on Smith and his family. If he doesn't follow suit, they'll release the dirt much like they did to Cosby who decided to go against the blame whitey agenda...
Would not be surprised about this. His career has been declining but now he has tainted his image with many whites. Nobody likes a sore loser and complainer. First graders normally complain when they don't get a star. But adults? This is very childish and pathetic of them.

If Jada Pinkett wants an Oscar all she has to do is get naked on film, get down on all fours, and let Billy Bob Thornton plow her on film like Halle Berry did.

Watch the next Will Smith movie Flop, like the last 3 did.

Wild Wild West. Perhaps the worst movie of all time.

He choose this over the Matrix.
He was also offered the lead in Django Unchained but he thought the WHITE dentist was the real star of the movie. QT told him the dentist had to be white and that he wasn't the lead but a complimentary role to Django. Smith thought otherwise...

He's successful therefor the film industry isn't racially biased? Explain the thought process there.
Or are you saying as long as he's doing alright he shouldn't have any wider moral opinion? I do t know what minority's you originate from but you've clearly forgotten it.
-
I wonder if will smith would be boycotting if he wasn't sitting on $100M and having his own production company.
He will be running back to to Michael bay for another bad boys movie.

Simple:
-The industry is not particularly racially biased, I would say, probably the other way around, feeling pressure to nominate according to diversity instead of popularity
-minorities have a tendency to whine and blame others for racism instead of taking responsibility and accepting that society is not fair
-will smith can live well and doesn't have to resort to this pathetic victim-mentality and misuse of the tiresome racism-label (because that's what the word diversity comes down to in this context). He could just count hinself to a category called "successful people", not focusing on race.
-yet, he choses to go this route, and my thread is about: is he serious? Or dies he feel mistreated and does he think the industry is racist? (I would argue it's not more than any other business, more like money-driven)
I am unsure, i think he is smart actually so I speculate that Jada is making him do it. She seems bossy.

Yes, I don't think Will feels unjustly treated because he has had a great career.
But this stunt is only furthering the racism discussion. There's always injustices in life, so I think it's wrong to cry racism without deeper understanding.
For racism to go away, it's a necessity to view humans as individuals. But when you see youself as "black" and part of that group, there's "racism" everywhere that self-confessed category as a whole fails.

Lol at racism to go away. Racism will never go away. And people want to be thought of as a group and as individuals. We are tribal by nature.

No it won't because it's repeated by whoever feels discriminated
We are tribal but you can choose to be a tribe of something other than skin color.

I never created a 5 page thread.
Is it because of some sensitive subject? Hmmm

Yes, we can choose to be a tribe of something other than skin color, just as people can choose not to be racist too.
Take a look at this board, people can make choices. But they make choices to make this board only friendly to those who accept its "culture". And the culture is skewed mostly to the very negative.

Let's briefly review the amazing performances of black actors in Hollywood in 2015.
First and most importantly, Denzel Washington took the year off. So that explains that.
Morgan Freeman did the voiceover in Ted 2, and starred in the straight to video action films Last Knights and Momentum. Fail.
Will Smith as an African doctor falsely credited (in the movie) with discovering CTS in football players. Will butchered the accent and had the most obvious Oscar-bait soliloquy in film history. Fail.
Michael Jordan played the role of a boxer who doesn't really have to overcome any handicaps or speech impediments in his quest for the title. While blacks are griping that Stallone got a nomination and Jordan didn't, Stallone is receiving a sympathy nomination for his 40 years of playing the same retard that he created for himself. Besides, most Academy members saw the name Michael Jordan and wondered when they made a Space Jam sequel.
Forrest Whitaker kept an eye out for Oscar roles but couldn't find anything this year.
Jamie Foxx was too busy staging rescues to take on a starring role after deciding he didn't want to spend two hours being called a Ni66er in another Tarantino movie.
Samuel Jackson sat in a cabin and got called a Ni66er for two hours while spending the final thirty minutes calling Jennifer Jason Leigh a Bitch. He also overacted as Nick Fury in Avengers. Fail.
Don Cheadle appeared in Avengers, failing to free any Rwandans or otherwise cause an impact. Fail.
Anthony Mackie appeared in Avengers as Falcon and also got beat up by the wimpiest superhero ever Ant-Man for which Paul Rudd was also overlooked as an Oscar nominee.
Finally, all seventeen of the Wayans Bros missed out on their usual Oscar nods by failing to make a horribly unfunny satire the entire Year.
ahahahahahhaha funny shit!
-
Now people talking about a quota. How can blacks be happy knowing that they were only nominated because they were forced to pick them?
I wouldn't accept an award knowing they were forced to give it to me. I guess some people just don't have honor.

I like this guy's style.

All this exposure about black actors allegedly not getting a fair share of recognition by the Academy is going to make so that the next black that is nominated or awarded an Oscar, will feel like it was a 'token' nomination or award, due to affirmative action instead of 100% on-screen performance.

The next?
Shit, every past black nomination and award was basically a token gift

I'm hardly a Will fan, actually avoid him, I think. Maybe I get him mixed-up with the Chris Tuckers and Kevin Harts and Chris Rocks doing their predictably lame, bug-eyed tagline, buddy slapsticks. (Kidding, Parker, relax.) But I'm watching this Seven Pounds on now, and this is some damn good stuff. How come you didn't tell me about this?
Did like him in Enemy of the State and maybe I Am Legend, but nothing else comes to mind.
Oh, FABULOUS as Ray Charles, too, forgot.

He has roles where he is good, but good shouldn't win an academy award.
Hancock was better than I Am Legend.
He was good in Pursuit of Happyness too.

Just sit right there.
I'll tell u how
The industry that made me rich
Is terribly unfair.

I'll look into them, thanks, though I think I saw Pursuit. Still, maybe worth a second watch. But please tell me Hancock isn't a superhero.
Also, finished Seven Pounds - that damn film was fantastic. When it's done well (Sixth Sense, perhaps, Memento ...), I quite enjoy films that manipulate the audience.

does will smith actually think he's a great actor ??? ??? ??? ???, tell da truite,,,,,,,, TELL DA TRUITE ::) ::) ::) ::)[rhetorical question]

Interesting take I read today:
Will and Jada Smith are protesting a business where they’ve made $300 million and been allowed to raise a weird crystal praying indulgent family on a mega estate without much trouble. Because Will didn’t get nominated for a movie where he struggles with an accent and Roger Goodell tries to run people off the road to cover up the fact that playing football is dangerous? Smith got a crazy fucking expensive crappy movie made just so his son could star. He’s been nominated for an Oscar twice, and lost, to other black actors. To be fair, he’s probably crazy scared of his wife because of those Medina bottom pictures.
Straight Out of Compton had tits and drugs and swearing. That shit never wins an Oscar, even if filled to the brim with Whitey. Spike Lee has been honored time and time again by the film industry who keeps letting him make movies with his very low winning percentage. This is the first year he didn’t get squat. Now it’s racist. White people in Hollywood are easy to pick on because they’re so inexorably worried about being white people. By the time you get to the letter ‘R’ in the word racist they’ve already donated to the United Negro College Fund and ordered their daughter to blow a black boy at her Bat Mizvah reception. Mazel tov, Jody. Take a selfie with George Clooney, hashtag StopWhitePrivelege

Hancock is an anti-superhero, but the movie was better than "Ali" and "Enemy of the State".

Will Smith was excellent in 6 degrees of separation. Played a trouble homo youth awesomely. Later I hear rumors about him being homo or bi, so I'm not sure if it was just acting or he played it well.

Will smith is just lame now, he was cool in the 90's. Not sure if he is losing his edge cause of his son, but Will could do no wrong in the 90's and early 2000's. Now, whatever he touches bombs. Focus was shit, I watched that on a bootleg. I will not bother watching seven pounds or concussion. Have zero interest in Will smith or even Eddie Murphy now.
