The Race Issue at the Oscars Discussion Thread

Why would it? Blacks have special rules for everything else eg getting into college for free with lesser grades. So why should this be any different?
 
Chris Rock made a joke/point that since women have their own category why not blacks.

Seems to make sense but is it offensive to others?

A) It would require an Asian/Hispanic/etc category too

B) There's a lot more mixed race people than mixed gender, which will bring up issues of who qualifies for which categories
 
Well they have categories for foreigners that aren't gender based...but you are correct the idea seems like a bad one now that someone pointed out they have BET awards...

cause no amount of spin would change everyone from looking at them and seeing pathetic jokes.
 
They definitely should have a best black actor award. They should also have special seating at the awards show for the participants of colour, maybe at the back of the hall.

'65 would've been a tough year....maybe as many as 500 nominees.

It is offensive; and he was obviously joking.

They don't have special rules for college exclusive to them.
 
Lol blacks fight(cry) for the longest of time to be included but now they want out? Reminds me of those new black only college dorm rooms. Makes loads of sense.
You know it was a joke right? He is a comedian.

It's not a joke man they really have black only dorm rooms. They really want their own separate Oscars that is just as prestigious. They really do want to ban flags, statues and our history. Joke is on you.

To the larger and less represented population of Latinos probably.
 
so it seems everyone agrees it would be offensive unless every person gets a participation trophy.
 
why would it be? blacks will get what they want - nominations and winners every year.
 
The whole event was bringing in black speakers to lecture the viewers on "diversity", while a Mexican won award.

Alejandro Gonzalez shouldve told the liberals that he was offended by being called White in his Oscars speech.


Then they just go ahead and openly make fun of Asians and Asian stereotypes.

The whole event was a disgrace.
