• Stacey Dash

    From metalhead@VERT/CYBERIA to All on Fri Jan 22 15:37:00 2016
    What do you all think about Stacey Dash's comments about wanting to get rid
    of BET & Black History Month?

    As far as the Oscars thing goes, maybe it's racism and maybe it's not. Has a non-white person ever received an Oscar before? If not, then I would most definately agree with Jada Pinket Smith, because the Oscars is an old awards show, and time itself seems like it would bring people of other colors.

    But even if Smith is correct, what is her point? That it's ok when it happens to non-celebrities, but when racism hurts celebrities, like her husband, then we all should all do something about it? Like boycott the Oscars?

    Her heart's not in the right place. If she felt bad for victims of racism,
    she should lead a boycott against businesses that conduct industrial racism, for example. Do you know what I mean? Like those companies that contaminate black communities. Do you think activities like those would ever happen in Jada's neighborhood?

    Just sayin.. what a cunt

    And Stacey Dash, what a bangin babe, even at 40+! She's right about BET and Black History Month too. They are racist. White history month would be racist too. So, why not just history month? We already have "Today in History,"
    which is even better and more exciting.

    And a whole TV channel with an obligation to erase white people? How terribly messed up is that? I have never seen any other channel try to obliterate
    other races. That's like nazi tv.

    Has a non-white person ever received an Oscar before?

    Yes, many. Even this year many non-white's won Oscars. It was only the "best actor or actress" category that was being strutinized this year. Other years and other categories, non-whites win often.

    Thought so!

    Over the past who knows how many years.... there have been 45 black nomonies for any acting catagories... where 13 have won in 88 years, The issue this year was there were many high quality films with black actors that should have been considered. My opimion... YMMV..

    So you're saying there were no "decent" movies either made by blacks or had blacks as lead actors this past year?

    we should have affirmative action awards for movies.
    we just award the black actors for no reason.

    Where did I say that? if a movie, or an actor outperfoms another actor or movie, then I expect it to be nominated. One of the little known facts is last year, or the year before, the Best Picture Award was expanded to a max of 10 movies. May I ask why there was only 8 this year while two movies based upon black history were not included, yet were included in every other major awards given around the world?

    Guess we can toss this one up to Occam's Razor...
