Al Sharpton calls for emergency meeting because of all-white Oscar nominations

[King Poetic]

Worse black leader in history....


How about a emergency meeting on black on black crime or black unemployment or teen pregnancy in the hood

Sounds like something Rallo Goodlove would say.

We have to stop looking for acceptance and do our own thing.

Of course we aren't nominated when all the popular movies with us in them are slave and butler films.

I thought Rollo Goodlove was based off on Sharpton

Not "too bad" tbh we need to stop giving reverence to cac awards as if they somehow validate our talent, this is why we're in the position where cacs win awards over Blacks and people draw the conclusion that the cac is more talented.. fukk all of these awards.

To be honest, Selma did get snubbed horribly for Best Actor and Best Director

I don't think it warrants an "emergency meeting", but it does need to be talked about

Geezus, talk about getting your priorities all fukked up. With all the shyt that's going this past several months, this is what he's focused on? This is so embarrassing.

And you wonder why those ferguson protestors didnt want him anywhere near that shyt, because this nikka is a fraud. straight up and down... all he does is talk shyt and doesnt take any action towards rectifying the situation.... fukk him and jesse.

[Formerly known as...]

Al Sharpton needs to go sit down somewhere

Exactly. Sharpton is a joke.

 

[ManxOfxThexYear]

Someone needs to sit him the fukk down and tell him to shut the fukk up next time something major happens

I wouldn't call him a leader, he's a very treacherous man that is not to be trusted.

The character is based off of him, but I could hear it in Cee-los voice.

So lets say, that do cave in to the outrage and they throw a black name in the bucket.

How does it feel to be the person who is nominated not for your acting ability but because they needed a black face? Secondly, lets say it was out of malice or unconscious white preference/discrimination towards non whites, why does it matter that you get a fukking award from these people?

We all know the deal in this country with race relations. Its time for black people to focus on building for ourselves and not relying on other groups to include them in every single thing. Its not going to happen and if it does happen it is done begrudgingly and why would you want to surround yourself with people like that in the first place?

On a somewhat related note, this is also why I'm sometimes slightly annoyed when I see "first african american" label attached to folks who have some accomplishment. In one of the engineering buildings at my Uni in the sea of white faces on some placards on the wall about accomplished people from the engineering college, there is one black face with some details under it and how he was one of the first "African American" members of some board. This was accomplished back in the 90s not some like 60s after integration accomplishment which I think is more understandable.

On one hand, I feel good for the brother but on the other hand...why does it feel forced as if they want to just make sure they "have "diversity" and the focus is more on that than this man's accomplishments. I want to see more black folks achieve great things but at the same time just like with any other successful person, I want it to be because of the things they did instead of the mere fact they were a black person who did it. Its almost like saying "Thats pretty good...for a black".

Its like subconsciously playing into the the thinking that most people don't expect anything out of black people so its noteworthy when they are the exception to the supposed rule.
