Hebrews boycotting Oscars

[MANGOOS]

He wont go to Oscars ceremony, but will go to NBA game. How will he be comfortable there, NBA lacks of diversity...

It's a completely different thing, though. Aren't you the one who was saying that the NBA should start recruiting from Europe? LOL I guess because there aren't enough white people in the US?

Its all about racial diversity...  And thats a problem in NBA and NFL.

LOL no, it isn't. If you're trying to compare whites in professional sports to blacks in Hollywood, there isn't a comparison. The team owners are majority white, the executives are majority white, the coaches are majority white. The gatekeepers of pro-sports are predominately white, yet the players are predominately black.

Arnold Was never nominated for an Oscar

Hollywood has a clear bias against Bodybuilders in film

Eeeeevil Whitey, huh?  I could care less what color you may or may  not be, I know a libtard when I read one.  Talk about butthurted.

Racist typist.  As with most of your ilk and regardless of skin pigmentation, you seek equality only with those you consider your superiors.  But there may be hope for you as I will note that you did not capitalize "black(s)" and leave white(s) lower case.

There's hope for you yet.  Typist.

LOL Racist typist?  How many other times have you felt the need to critique posts you considered racist around here? Cuz there's no shortage of racist post, maybe there's something unique about mine that caught your eye 

Regardless, you can keep the hope for yourself. I have as little regard for your typing as you have for mine.

How on God's green earth does that negate the comparison?

Both are entirely profit-driven institutions, and TALENT ultimately fills the coffers. Everyone knows blacks clearly dominate on the court. Franchises tend to be more competitive and profitable when they're stocked with 6'8" brothers who can hurdle a Range Rover and sink outside jumpers with reliable consistency. And far as I know, no one has ever suggested (or even thought about) boycotting the NBA for its lack of diversity.

Hollywood's exactly the same: white, black, brown, yellow = meaningless. "This town only recognizes one color," Morgan Freeman once said: "green." If you have the talent, star appeal, or whatever intangible big screen quality that puts asses in seats, studios will be bombarding your agent with scripts.

What difference do the owners' and execs' races make? They pay these folks millions for their talent, knowing damn well the investments will eventually pay off in, ahem, spades. Isn't  this precisely how a market-driven economy is supposed to work?

Who are the biggest white stars in hollywood right now?

[Al Doggity]

Typical. 

Yes, it is typical that the only time you would be offended by a "racist" post is if you felt it was racist against white people. And, of course, you're dumb enough to actually criticize ME for having a double standard within that post.

Also, the biggest black stars, too. Three of each if you can. Or even more. It will help the example.

Wow.  The depth of your thinking is exceeded (albeit just) only by the shallow end of the gene pool from whence  you came.  In typical liberal fashion when a lib gives their opinion they're right no matter what and when someone disagrees vehemently with said opinion they're a racist.

It must hurt to be as racist and ignorant as you and yet you salve your manlet ego with the lotion of hatred for all that disagree. Allow me, kid.  We are one race.  Human.

Obviously some are better at math, some at feats of strength and still others in athletic events.  And then there is you. Pathetic imitation of life, you.  Willing to see hatred everywhere but in the mirror of  your own shriveled up soul.

I fart in your general direction.  Look it up, little man.  Typist.

LOL You can get as indignant as you want, but the simple fact of the matter is you're  guilty of exactly what you tried to accuse me of. You could spend the whole day pointing out racism on this board, yet you grace me with farts in my direction? 

Yeah, typist is such an insult  . I guess you have a dickshaped usb controller stuck up your butt connected directly to your laptop.

Ooooo....I suppose it's not an insult if the one that it is intended for is too stupid to understand, eh chumley? What's next, ace?  Eat da poo poo?   

You've got  your head so far up your ass you can chew your food a second time on the way down.

And a third on the way out.  Eat da poo poo, indeed.  Now go away!  Or I shall taunt you a second time!  Lord almighty but you are one dumb moflovious.

Typist.

Bro, you're trying to criticize me as "typist", but you seem to be  seriously in love with being an ineffectual blowhard, smashing keys and making ominous claims to the wind. Are you leaving now? Good! Please take your toys with you and ask mommy to change your diapey.

The key difference is the selection process in sport is transparent with the draft systems. How some of the hollywood films get approved is a real mystery. Most of it is crap too, everyone knows hollywood is a closed system that one needs to somehow get inside.  this is what spike lee basically said about these "green light meetings" in that clip someone just posted.

A better comparison would be to simply look at another award system like the emmys or grammys and compare and see what you find.

As for the market driven economy stuff that's a fairy tale too.

[Pray_4_War]

Because the word diversity is a total lie.  They don't want diversity.  They don't give half a shit about diversity.  They don't know the meaning of the word.

To them diversity is a slick sounding way to say they want more black people in stuff.  They want more blacks to win awards.  They want more blacks to be in charge of shit.  They want more blacks to own shit.  They don't give a shit about Asians or Hispanics or native Americans or any other minority group. They are demanding that whites give more black people jobs, accolades or power that they did not earn.....because racism, because slavery.

My answer is a swift fuck you.

[The Ugly]

Who are the biggest white stars in hollywood right now?

No clue. Never cared about such things, nor do I usually see films based on actors. Only interested in directors with decent track records.

Can't think of a single actor whose mere presence would draw me to the theater. I like plenty, don't get me wrong, but I'm only interested in seeing something them in something that has a quality writing/directing team behind it.

Was this going somewhere?

Isn't this a bit oversimplified?

Guess my question should be this: How is race defined?

(REALLY don't feel like Googling it, so I'll understand if you feel the same.)

I tend to think as did John.  We are all human beings.  Our DNA is what makes us so. We can have children together.  We should celebrate our many similarities but instead, glorify the few differences. 

More often than not race is defined by those that seek to gain the most from doing so and all colors of humans do this within the confines of their ability to get away with it.

"Ineffectual"?  Only because of your inability to understand true metaphorical humor with a more than a touch of the truth.  Actually it takes very little time to write as I do.  If it takes you too long to read and comprehend, then you have not my apology but rather, my pity.

As for diapers?  I would hate to see, let alone change, the one that swaddles your mind.

It was. I was hoping to do some analyses on how race and studio perceptions affected careers in specific ways, but it looks like neither one of us is around that much tonight and it'll probably come up again at some point.


Therefore, I'll ask you a simple question and hopefully you'll answer honestly. Currently the voting members of the Academy are 95% white. If the Academy was 95% Black, do you think that all of the nominees in all four of the major acting categories for the last 2 years would have been still been white? Or do you think if the voting Academy was 95% black, that would have affected the racial make up of the nominees?

Nah. You're just a shit poster.  There's nothing special or deep there, you just try to make it seem that way.
