I don’t think there are enough pygmies getting academy awards. I cant even name one pygmy actor that has won a academy award and don’t even get me started about Amish actors .

I liked Jada Pinkett-Smith’s tastefully brief video. Her protest was in excellent taste, and her dignity is a delightful contrast to the vulgarity of Hollywood.

Looking at the movies that were actually nominated, I think she has a point.

Gay is King in Hollywood.

Equality of outcome, rather than equality of opportunity.

Fortunately, the Academy Awards mean absolutely nothing!

The Affirmative Action Oscar will be Black, and there will be a quota stipulating how many must be awarded. This is richly deserved by Follywood, whose ignorant, over-paid denizens constantly lecture the rest of us on how to live.

Gay’s are more likely to be “tragic”, the Academy looooooves them some “tragic”. Black actors don’t tend to gravitate towards the crippled and the dying that the Academy always favors. The fact that any humor websites best article of the year will generally be their Oscar prediction story (hilarious both for poking at the Academy and making much more accurate predictions than the “serious” sites) shows how badly the Oscars are in need of an overhaul.

I estimate commercials are now composed of 85% black. All group commercials have at least one black. The more “socially bold” business enterprises are even experimenting with miscegenation; i.e. a brief flash of a black male and a blond female obviously a “couple.”

Pathetic. Quota for everything.

Yep!

Henceforth, all NBA/NFL teams must have 63% white players.

All NHL teams must have 16.9% Latinos.

All college & Olympic swim teams must have 13.1 black swimmers.

High school Math, Geography & Spelling Bees can have no more than 5.1% Asian winners.

The Grammys must have 5.1% Asian and 0.20% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander winners. (I KNEW Don Ho would make a comeback some day!)

Oh, yeah: "Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals, of whom at least 22% (without peace prize over 24%) were Jews, although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population (or 1 in every 500 people). (Jews currently make up 2% of the US population.)"

"As of 2014, eleven Nobel Prize winners have been Muslims. More than half of the eleven Muslim Nobel laureates were awarded the prize in the 21st century. Seven of the eleven winners have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, including a controversial award to Yasser Arafat."

Obviously, this disparity must be eliminated!

Instead of a golden Oscar, winners will be handed a dark-faced lawn jockey.

In how many past awards cycles were blacks overrepresented in relation to their 14% of the population? Get over it already!

Give Participant Awards to every person ever filmed!
It worked sooooo well, in sports, until Steelers James Harrison stepped in!
