During a Wednesday morning interview on "Fox & Friends," Republican front-runner criticized the group of celebrities boycotting the Academy Awards on the grounds they are "too white."
"I think it's really sad," noted the real estate tycoon. "I think it's a tough situation. I saw somebody on your show today say, 'well, what do we do with BET?' Whites don't get any nominations, and I thought it was an amazing interview. I'd never even thought of it from that standpoint.

This is the kind of stuff that made Trump in the first place. He should stick to it.
LOL!
We should just give them all awards ever. They are just that awesome.
Just like Straight Outta Compton. A movie about rappers that was so awesome I never even saw it, and never will.
Yup, only he can say this stuff. Amazing.
It seems some people of color want to create their little parallel societies. If you don’t get nominated for a BET award who can you blame?
I’ve been saying non-PC stuff for years! My campaign went nowhere because I am not rich or backed by rich donors.
Just another trap so the media can paint Trump as a evil racist
That is all this was
“I’d never even thought of it from that standpoint.”
The Donald is a Learning Machine!
Like 'Separate But Equal' award shows.
I’m sorry, I must have missed it, but what is the percentage quota for Black actors for the Oscar nominations.
And which White actor nominee should we remove to replace them with a Black.
And finally, but the NAACP didn’t get the message. A few years ago the Oscar “buzz” was about Blacks. This year it’s the sexually twisted
< satire >
Me too. But no one listens.
Trump is not pandering for the black vote, he could lose some black votes, just shows Trump speaks his mind.
I feel like Trump does, nobody says that NBA is too black do they, Spike Lee goes to lots of NBA games, he isn’t boycotting the NBA for not having greater diversity and a quota of White players.
Just shows how Obama has hurt race relations.
When I look at TV shows almost every series has a character who is the Wise Black Top Boss. Just think about it. And Blacks are only 14 percent of the population.
Compton——Thug life. Awesome. Also didn’t see it and won’t.
Maybe they should do like little league does now. Or soccer or peewee football or whatever. EVERYBODY gets a trophy. Even if they never left the sidelines.
"I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever."
Yes, that is Trump’s appeal. He says what the rest of us say but he says it to the big audience. I’m still in Cruz’s corner but have to admit I love many of Donald’s Trumpisms.
He said what we all know and say, politicians usually pussy foot. Trump throws the p.c. b.s. right out the window and calls a spade a spade. The jig is up for p.c.
In BET entertainment, the “B” stands for black. I wouldn’t have a problem if Hollywood called its awards the WET awards, where the “W” stood for white, /S.
Next year..we’ll have affirmative action nominations..
And what the Blacks get, the Latinos are going to say, “Hey! What about us?”
They already have a Latin Grammys.
Haha :D
Even if they all got an award, I suspect they would still be angry.
