Hebrews boycotting Oscars

[iwantmass]

Such whiny horseshit. Start making more Glorys, Amistads, and Color Purple-quality films and writing better roles for the Denzel/Freeman/Cheadle-types and these bitchy pricks wouldn't have to hold the Academy ransom with half-assed garbage like 12 Years and Precious. Anyone honestly sit through these two?

Hell, if Poitier's 60s classics were filmed just a decade or two later, the guy's shelf would be filled with Oscars; today, though, we're stuck with Spike, McQueen, and this Lee Daniels idiot forcing their second rate race-baiting garbage down our throats, then demanding undeserving, white guilt trophies.

My guess, Academy is BEGGING screenwriters and directors for Oscar-caliber offerings, and they're just not stepping up. Blame your fucking selves, ya damn hacks, nobody's buying this nonsense anymore.

Then spend a little effort protesting the NBA for its lack of Caucasian and Mexican representation, just to pretend you really care about equality.

Funny that you mention spike lee.  that guy  is one of the most racist ppl in hollywood yet he bitches about equality.  Given the situation were reversed, i don't think you would hear a word from him

He's just a miserable, loudmouth shithead whose predictable racist garbage is protected by black (celebrity) privilege. 'Do the Right Thing,' boring and lame as f**k to me, won him overwhelming critical praise, and it was just two hours of white-hating bigotry. Yet it launched the turd's directing career.

I did like Inside Man, but his best work by far was pissing off Clint by implying he was racist for not having black soldiers in either of his WWII films ('Flags' and 'Letters'). Pushing 80, Eastwood was too damn old and too damn successful to waste whatever diplomacy he had left on Lee:

"Guy like that needs to shut his face," he said, clearly outta giveable fucks.

As a white man,  I'm boycotting the men's 100m sprint final at the next Olympics

Sam Jackson American greats.

Credibility ended. You only say that because he is black. He is very much an average to below average actor.
I bet you love Tyler Perry movies.....

[AD2100]

Hilarious! Hebrews get served in this video!

[Nails]

Come on.....they gave Denzel Washington and Halle Berry Oscars for fucks sake

dont forget about cuba gooding Jr for Jerry Maguire and i didnt think he was anything good in that film , i have watched that movie many times, and Tom Cruise out classes him acting in that movie

No. I'm saying if you have such staunch morals, don't let something as silly as getting paid convince you to support such an unfair system.

If so, then it's quite hypocritical.

I don't expect you to agree of course. It's just my opinion. 

No, it's not hypocritical, because it's not just a moral issue. It's also an issue of practicality.

But let's look at it a different way. Take the race element out of it. Imagine Kevin James was upset that the Academy  didn't nominate "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" and he was not going to attend the show because the Academy doesn't expect comedy. Then imagine some other comedian come out and say " Yeah, he's right. The Oscars doesn't respect comedy."  If those things happened, would it make sense that Kevin James entirely stopped working in Hollywood, along with any other comedian who felt the Oscars didn't respect comedy? Is it a logical follow-up that because Kevin James thinks the academy doesn't respect comedy, that any comedy winner from the last 60 years return their award? One set of things has nothing to do with the other. That's what I'm trying to get you to understand.

[Al Doggity]

you dont see asians whining like lil bitches.

LOL that's only because you're not listening. Who can blame you, though? You probably couldn't even name 5 asian actors, much less be aware of anything they've said about race. Let's take the show "Fresh off the boat", just for an easy example. Every member of the lead cast has addressed how hard it is being an asian actor in Hollywood. I'm gonna link to some comments from the show's creator, Eddie Huang, just because they were the first to pop up in Google:

Huang feels that by adulterating the specificity of his childhood in the pursuit of universal appeal, the show was performing a kind of “reverse yellow­face” — telling white American stories with Chinese faces. He doesn’t want to purchase mainstream accessibility at the expense of the distinctiveness of his lived experiences, though he is aware of how acutely Asian-­Americans hunger for any kind of cultural recognition. “Culturally, we are in an ice age,” he said. “We don’t even have fire. We don’t even have the wheel. If this can be the first wheel, maybe others can make three more.”

Almost every asian actor working in Hollywood (that I can think of) has talked about dealing with racial adversity.

I see what you are saying, but again, that's what you are ignoring is the practicality of it.

See, you're talking about people boycotting the Academy awards who will not be affected what so ever by them not showing up.

Both Smith and his wife along with Spike Lee could do absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives and their living situation would not change at all. If they get no parts, get absolutely nothing for the rest of their lives in regards to Hollywood, they will be fine.

They are trying to get others to boycott and those people NEED jobs.

That's what "Aunt Viv's" video was talking about.

To answer your questions though... The answer is yes.

Yes, he should stop working if he feels so slighted. Yes the people who agree should return their Oscars. They have everything to do with each other because Hollywood is connected like that.

You are not understanding my point and as you continue to not understand, I see no point in continuing the conversation.

I will not respond to you again on this matter.

Yeah, talked about it, but the slants ain't crying like the Hebrews do.

They've talked about it sure, but they still keep trekkin' on.

The japs/chinks et al never asked for no Yellow Month of Peace or do the hilarious shit the Hebrews do for attention

i don't see why you insist debating this guy in an intelligent polite fashion.  He is a race baiter.  He always will be a race baiter.  This is one of the big problems with the black population in general.  Anytime some of them do not perform up to satisfactory, they wont get recognized for their achievements so they scream racism. It's what al doggity has been doing this entire thread, and its what black actors/actresses are doing.  As a whole, there are way more white actors because there is a bigger white population (that should be common sense but for ppl like al it isn't), so whites by the percentages will likely have more of an opportunity to provide the better actors.  That is if we isolate this in a vacuum and don't account for intellectual differences between races

That's what "Aunt Viv's" video was talking about.

So, once again, if people need jobs, it doesn't make sense that they would  stop working. Does the fact that they need to earn money mean that a system is perfect? No. Does the fact that a system provides a way to make a living mean it's perfect? No. Does the fact that a system is imperfect mean that you can't address those problems? Absolutely not.

To answer your questions though... The answer is yes.

Yes, he should stop working if he feels so slighted. Yes the people who agree should return their Oscars. They have everything to do with each other because Hollywood is connected like that.

Then why are there so many popular actors who haven't won or even been nominated for academy awards?  Every actor who has't won an academy award should stop working? What if an actor or writer enjoys making films but has no goals to win an oscar? Is it the same with other awards? Do you see how this line of thinking makes no sense?

[Al Doggity]

Yeah, talked about it, but the slants ain't crying like the Hebrews do.

Always with the sliding scale.

You don't need an Oscar to feel respected in the entertainment-business.

It's just a bonus if some people like your work more.

Never got no Oscar and i still feel ok.

I will not respond to you again, Al "Burrhead" Muddity, on this matter.

[Al Doggity]

I will not respond to you again on this matter.

That's fine. You don't have to. But this is what I meant when I said only one of us was engaging in honest discourse. I honestly don't see how your examples follow any sort of logic. From my perspective, it looks like you are abandoning the conversation because you are starting to realize what you said doesn't make sense in different contexts.

[Al Doggity]

You added almost nothing to the convo, so you won't be missed. 

[Kwon_2]

Change that to "a lot", and "will be hugely missed", and we got ourselves a deal.

It's not the strongest, or smartest that survives, but the FITTEST, IE the lifeform that can adapt to most situations.

I will not respond to you again, Al "Burrhead" Muddity, on this matter.

[Al Doggity]

Change that to "a lot", and "will be hugely missed", and we got ourselves a deal.

But then it would be inaccurate. Just like when you said you wouldn't be responding to me again. It looks like you are in need of attention today.

you've added absolutely zero to this conversation other than crying racism for no apparent reason.  more white actors are voted for oscars for the obvious reasons i mentioned above.  its not racist, but then again if ppl like you couldn't cry about racism, you wouldn't have any way to advance in life

[SF1900]

This is by far the best actor ever!!
