Heading South (French: Vers le sud) is a 2005 French drama film by director Laurent Cantet and based on three short stories by Dany Laferrière, it depicts the experiences of three middle-aged white women in the late 1970s, traveling to Haiti for the purposes of sexual tourism with young men. Their adventures (as seen in their eyes) are juxtaposed with class issues and the deteriorating political climate of Haiti at the time. The women demonstrate different attitudes to the complex situation.[1]

Ellen, played by Charlotte Rampling, is a professor of French literature at Wellesley College in Boston, Brenda, a stay-at-home wife from Savannah, Georgia; and Sue, a factory worker from Quebec, Canada, feel lonely and ignored by middle-aged men back at home. They travel to Haiti to enjoy a holiday of sun, surf, and sex with attractive local teenagers to whom they are financially generous.

God, can white people PLEASE stop trying to make "racism against white people" a thing?

I mean if you have a good example, sure, but these fools:snoop:

Find an example of oppression by a black person that economically and socially keeps white people at the bottom rung, whether someone is actively pulling the strings or not. Till then, huuuuuuuush. You cannot be a majority benefactor and call someone else racist for pointing out your majority benefactor-ship.

Even though I don't watch the Oscars/Golden Globes/etc I am glad this is becoming mainstream. The more people on both sides who speak up about this, the sooner we will split and get back to operating own media, even if that means black celebrities get blackballed. Media that is our own (even if inferior) is better than media that is whitewashed.

First-time Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling says that the conversation surrounding the lack of diversity at this year’s Academy Awards is “racist against whites.”

Speaking to French radio station Europe 1 on Friday morning, Rampling, 69, added, “We can never know whether it’s truly the case, but maybe the black actors didn’t deserve to make it to the final list.”

Asked whether the Academy should introduce quotas, the 45 Years actress responded, “Why classify people? We live in a time now where everyone is more or less accepted.” Rampling added there is always someone who will tell you you’re “too” something (“Him, he’s too black,” “Him, he’s too white”), so why should the Academy introduce measures that would classify people just for the sake of having “lots of minorities everywhere?”

When her interviewer explained that those in the black community feel like a minority within the film industry, Rampling ended the conversation, offering a “no comment.”

Director Spike Lee prominently spoke out against the lack of diversity present in the acting categories at this year’s ceremony on Monday. “We cannot support it and mean no disrespect to my friends, host Chris Rock and producer Reggie Hudlin, president [Cheryl Boone] Isaacs and the Academy,” Lee wrote. “But, how is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white? And let’s not even get into the other branches. Forty white actors in two years and no flava at all. We can’t act?! WTF!!”

While Lee won’t be attending this year’s ceremony, he insisted earlier this week that he is not calling for a boycott: “I have never used the word boycott,” Lee said. “I’m not going, my wife’s not going. Everyone else can do what they want to do.”

It should be the best actors who are nominated but no black contenders in 2 years?

:what:

Not even 1?

:beli:

That's fukked up.

I'm with Spike Lee; there needs to be more diversity.

I don't pay attention to or watch awards shows like this and I'm glad that I don't. fukk supporting this bullshyt.

:trash:



Hope there's some good bloopers and memes after the show though

:lolbron:

I blame black people for not taking our own awards serious enough.
Like I'm not hate, but theres no way kevin hart should win best ANYTHING in a acting related category. It shows lack of respect towards the craft and takes away from the authenticity of our awards.

If we're going to have our own award shows, then not only do we need to do our part in supporting them, but the people who throw them actually have to respect them as well.
Stop nominating people Kevin Hart and DeRay Davis as best male actor of the year :snoop:
