and Will still isn't publicly making a sound so idk why everyone is riding King's back. Jada opened her mouth and said it. Let's leave Godil out of it.

Will said racism barely even exists not too long ago. :dead: Maybe his views have changed since then. Hopefully it didn't take a bite in the ass for him to learn the hard way
that ass BEEN bit

Lora lashed Jada in the comments

QuoteWhen did this become such an important issue to you, after your husband was "snubbed" from the nominations ? Because we should have taken this attitude years ago. Our dignity has been diminished since Hattie McDaniel won the first Oscar as a black actress. It was at this time that we began a quest to seek the approval of the academy on our artistic accomplishments . How many of you powerful , superstar black actors and actresses attend the NAACP Image awards yearly to support other black entertainers? only when you are receiving a "special" acknowledgement. So instead of talking about it because you feel that your body of work deserved an academy award nomination from an institution that was not even created to honor blacks in the film industry, support the institutions that were created to not diminish your dignity but to celebrate it. Yes I'm sure you may donate thousands of dollars but come to the awards show EVERY year so we know it's real

btw, Jada's skin is fucking flawless.

Will and Jada(especially her) have spoken out against injustice several times.They have an organization devoted to helping ppl within marginalized groups...but yeah she's just speaking out because her husband wasn't nominated lolz
that makes Will's comment about diversity last year, that much more troubling and confusing

She may be genuine, but will ...

Im just curious why everyone keeps mentioning Will when Jada is speaking for herself...?

I agree but I guess in the world today it's easy to believe the negative. He had a movie that could have been nominated and wasn't
and he's her husband so everyone thinks she's biased because of that

I agree. It's really a lose-lose for Jada. She's speaking out but ppl claim it's only because of her husband but to the same token ppl claim she shouldn't even be speaking out because the films with Black actors weren't good enough...

These are Black ppl btw.

so sad
It's always the same thing. Anytime a Black person tries to speak out
and make change other Black ppl have to find a way to challenge him/her.
However I really wanna see if Jada, Will, Spike and others will really put a lot of effort into this even after the Oscars are over

Yea I just think the timing is curious

But, I do admit it's not always good to jump to conclusions or conspiracy theory

yummy

well, I doubt Will is gonna stroll down the red carpet in spite of his own wife declaring war on the academy's racism but yea...I'm sure he was in the other wing of the mansion picking out his tux while Jada was recording this video.

Him supporting her physically (even IF he doesn't show up) and him supporting her perspective are two totally different things. Just because you're married to someone doesn't mean you become one entity...at least that's what I thought.
