Exactly the reason I never pay to see their stupid movies. It’s like putting money in the democrats pockets.
The lesson, once again, is that that the race hustlers are not seeking equality in judgement. The are seeking ‘Most Favored Race Status’ with a dose of victim-hood retributions included in every high visibility activity.
Maybe Clint Eastwood’s “empty chair” speech at the 2012 RNC had something to do with it.

American Sniper is to big to fail, Hollywood. Embrace the suck.
If you pay very close attention to what all of the Black whiners are saying you start to see something very clearly.
They are so uneducated about the actual demographics of the country that they actually believe Blacks make up 50% of the population.
It never comes up in the debates either. No one ever checks them. No one ever asks them “What portion of the population do you think your minority reflects?”
They are never asked this for a reason, the myth that they are under represented is purposeful. If you ask 100 white female college freshmen what the country’s demographics are by race 99 of them will say “50/50 maybe?”.
Is that RAIN on my back?

Get off my lawn!
The race whiners evaluating the Academy Awards nominations prove the only court in which talent and ability are evaluated and rewarded without concern for affirmative action, diversity and racial demographics is the basketball court.
I don’t understand this presumption that the Selma movie should automatically be nominated.
What if its a terribly bad movie? Is it still expected to get nominated, just because of the subject matter?
Neither do I. American Sniper, on the other hand deserved the nominations it got, and it certainly deserves the Oscar as best picture
It must be AGE discrimination. Seniors to the barricades!
No 'maybe" about it - one of the Academy voters even stated he would never vote for Eastwood becasue of the 'empty chair' skit -
No one seems to've asked him what that has to do with the movie's merit
As usual, I’ll wait until it reaches disk or stream.
OTOH, I can think of a pretty good reason why it should not have been nominated, and that is the statement, repeated several times by the producer during interviews on TV, that the movie takes some major departures from real history and tries to make "points" that were not inferable from the facts and the record. It's a recurrence of that liberal pipe-dream, of telling the "truth" the way it ought to have been, not the way it was. Metatruth, in other words (ie, liberal dogma).
It might be an okay movie, but this docudrama puts on the clothing of serious documentary gravity to sell its tale, and that is bullsqueeze.
Yea, and oddly enough, Clint was spot on with the empty chair routine. That’s probably what burns that academy A holes butt so much.
I fully support Internet piracy.
The current wave of black movies like Django and Twelve Years a Slave are race propaganda and no way am I going to watch them or pay to see them.
Selma? Has lies about LBJ. Sounds like a boring movie. If I were black I would see it i suppose. But many young blacks are 100% ignorant of that era and don’t want to know about it
