“seeking out diversity of voice and opinion”

AS LONG AS THE OPINIONS AGREE WITH THEIRS

Oh! Is that the reason why all little-league baseball players are given trophies and they do not keep score in the games?

[MaxMax]

Diversity? There's some terrorist videos floating around that need your attn.
Hey, it's only fair.

Gotta love liberal logic when used against themselves, so confusing to them

You produce crappy stuff, you suffer the consequences. The way America is kowtowing to the black community, if they had made something worthwhile, Hollywood would have gone out of it’s way to give multitudes of awards to the black crowd.

“The first black president of...”

:::::::::

I think many people have come to really dislike this entry.

[uncitizen]

Cave!

[In God I trust]

OMG where does it end? NBA? BET? These all black ONLY award shows? Give me a break. Blacks beating whites across the country DAILY, I’m sick of this crap. What does it take to start this race war so we can get it over with and start fresh with all the idiot (whitey blaming) blacks gone? I just don’t understand why so many of the non-racist blacks don’t speak out. There are a few I know but certainly not enough. O’racist certainly isn’t helping.

It's already started ... we just haven't fired back .... yet.

Oh ... I'm not supposed to say that ?

All this hoopla has pretty much ensured Selma will win Best Picture --despite the fact that nobody is interested in seeing it.

Remember Yum Yum Eat 'Em UP from the Little Rascals? That's what the libs are doing to each other - the libs and Hollywood have given the community agitator credibility and now he's eating 'em up....

Make good movies and you’ll get nominated for awards. It ain’t rocket surgery.

[Michael.SF.]

Maybe they can do a lifetime achievement award for Amos n’ Andy, that should tone things down a bit.

[Rockpile]

The Academy Awards? There are people who actually watch this show?

[MHGinTN]

Bwahahahaha ... invite Alsharptoon to present it! LOL

“Academy president responds to Oscar firestorm”

“Yes, it is true. We will no longer be calling it Oscar. From now on, we will be calling these awards...the Rochester.”

It is race baiter Sharpton that is making all the ruckus. A black cloud hangs over him and lightning will strike. The Sharpton spectacle is of a man trying to raise money to pay off his huge income tax debt. It must be a result of a failed effort at hiding his income in a Cayman Island account. Actions have consequences. Let him jump up and down in his crib. A day will come when the I.R.S. comes knocking and calls him to task.
