Yeah this fake outrage is late.

Do the Oscars even care if we tune in? Are we part of their intended demographic? I mean, yeah they do have a black comedian there to host it nearly every time. But is that to reel us in, or is it simply c00n entertainment for their evening? Or maybe a convenient combination of both?

Am I alone on this?

omg that made me cringe.

Things really havent changed. Everything is just shinier.

ch.....i was watching the Emmys or whatever it was at my aunt's house last week and was like those white faces in the audience...chuckling at eva longoria and another hispanic woman making "i'm not jennifer lopez guys" jokes on stage which were clearly written for her. it's a shame what people will endure and how far they will degrade themselves to remain in good standing with massa.

but all jokes! fun! lighten up guys

Do Black people even watch the Oscars?

I hear so many of us saying "boycott Oscars! boycott Oscars!", as if it's something so hard to do -- for me it would be more of my regular schedule. Never really took too much enjoyment in watching uppity white folks receive awards from more uppity white folks.

Now when the bus was boycotted, that affected crucial aspects of our lives, and we definitely endured hardship -- which include walking to work -- to make our point loud and clear.

But is it all that hard for us to boycott the Oscars? I mean, it's not like someone said to boycott Love & Hip Hop (which is organized and broadcasted by a white owned company). For many of us, including myself LOL, this would be, albeit nowhere near the sacrifice our ancestors made, a sacrifice.

I dont care about this issue either.

Another year a black actor will be nominated, just like in the past, or a latin one, it just will be with the right movie or the most obvous one, whatever, its just an awards event. Black actors are working on movies and tv, and thats what matter.

X-Men, Star Wars, Avengers, Justice League... I see black actors in all those big franchises, so..... not big deal.
