It’s newsworthy to ask if he “could”? Please. Check back with us if he does. No great loss anyway. The show must go on!

I hope these two groups destroy each other.

Maybe Rock and the rest should start the Boscars, kind of like Kwanzaa and Christmas.

I think he’ll keep the job. But the censors had better stay alert and ready.

What is the over/under on the number of anti-Republican remarks that are going to be made during the Oscars?

(We here don’t consider Republicans to be conservatives, but Hollywood does)

I used to like Chris, before he went PC.

So another meeting of the Mutual Admiration Society is beset by internal discord.

You beat me to it.

Those were my exact words.

I haven’t been to the movies for 25 years.

They need to bring a black award in with the most dripping condescension possible.

Always group think. If you’re black in today’s America you’re not allowed to think and do for yourself unless you want to be called an Uncle Tom, a Sambo, and a sellout by fellow blacks. It’s that group mentality of being a victim that keeps blacks from prospering, and don’t think the white powers that be in the Democratic Party don’t know this. They keep blacks indebted to the party by playing the race card and demonizing any black man or woman who dares to defy the liberal plantation.

Isn’t he the one who called obama “our lord and savior” at some black gathering a year or so ago? If so, pi$$ on him.

The level of micro photography needed to detect how little I care about these whiny rich permanently offended racist turds has yet to be invented.

Yes, but Rock is one of those objective blacks who will not hesitate to criticize other blacks. I love the joke about the nightclubs, when good blacks just want to go out but then the "N-words" come in and always tearing it down and getting kicked out.

All of this is just Kabuki theater. People like Lee are just shaking down Hollywood for a few more crumbs.

LOL

So, they want a black guy to bow out and have zero representation?

Makes no sense.

Besides, don’t they have a racist award ceremony of their own and do they want to be known as affirmative action winners or accomplished entertainers?

What movies were even award worthy that had a black person in a relevant category.

“Blackish” is funny as hell but that’s the Emmy’s

I dunno, I look at the movies that were nominated and I’m thinking “Straight Outta Compton” is probably about as good as any of them.

Granted, that’s not saying much.

Now, now-- Just wondering here just how long it will be before... we will not be able to elect a President, Senator or Congressperson nor appoint anyone to a Cabinet Post unless they are Black?
