Charlamagne on #OscarsSoWhite: Can't Boycott What You're Not Invited To

[AP21]

agree

 

[babelipsss]

How do we know what other people did? Why do we care?

 

[Crude_]

Although his movies are ass and have simplistic and predictable writing many times driven by stereotypes more Black folks particularly in the acting field should follow the Tyler Perry model.

Own your own studio and find you a distributer and release your own material independent of any of these White owned companies whom are only looking out for their own interests.

As far as our own award shows we already have them with the BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, NAACP Image awards, etc problem with that though is those outlets cater to a more urban audience and aren't as respected by the White mass media so many Blacks don't really give them that repect either which is a white washed way of thinking.

Great lets go back to the negro leagues of everything. That was the good old days.

Y'all niggas don't realize how insecure you sound when you want to take your ball and go home knowing full well you don't have a ball or a hoop. You not hurting or bothering white folks by taking yourself out of the game. If anything you relieving them of the headache of involving you.

The racist whites will have an even better time if you aren't there.

Opportunities are the important thing, more actors, more studios, diversified movies, things will right themselves.

Naw bruh.

Money talks and bullshit walks.

African Americans actually have a lot of clout financially.

Not even close near compared to whites.

I understand what you're saying and there is some validity to your argument, BUT when you have the majority White folks making decisions on whether to give an award to a multitude of Whites or the one or two Blacks that may or may not have been nominated who do you think they're going to choose.

If you really want to hurt White folks stop supporting White owned shit; Black folks may only make up about 15% of the US population but we have way more finacial power than you know.

We love riding around flaunting our name brand shit as sign of status when Ralph Lauren, NIKE, BMW, Mercedes, Caddilac, Apple, Gucci, Louis Vutton, Rolex, etc. don't give a damn about us; however, when I see someone rocking that stuff more times than not they're Black.

That's not the point.

The Black dollar is very coveted in America. If Black people self-segregated and started putting our money into our own communities, projects, companies, etc. you don't think those white folks [and Arabs and Asians] would feel it? Think about how much money professional sports teams bring in. That's all off the backs of Black athletes.

Why do you think they always thrown random tokens into TV shows and movies? Why do they throw random Black families in TV ads? Why did they buy BET? To promote diversity?

Naw, they want that Black dollar. No matter how much they got they could always use more. Now they're starting to cater China and other Asians so you're going to see more and more Asians in TV and movies.

Not enough to justify what we are discussing here.

They will feel it but what about the pay cut those black athletes will take not making millions in advertisements, not making millions off jerseys and ticket sales. Who is going to build the stadiums? White people own those too.

This concept of living in a segregated America is foolish.

Why do you think they always thrown random tokens into TV shows and movies? Why do they throw random Black families in TV ads? Why did they buy BET? To promote diversity?

Naw, they want that Black dollar. No matter how much they got they could always use more. Now they're starting to cater China and other Asians so you're going to see more and more Asians in TV and movies.

A wise businessman wants EVERYONE'S dollar NOT just the black dollar. Its ridiculous to limit your earning potential for some silly concept of racial unification. The world is bigger than race.

For the record, ain't no Ashkenazi Jew, its just a white man posing as an afro Asiatic.

If u want to choose him out of the biblical table of nations, he's an Edomite, i.e. descendants of Esau.

You think all these years before he finally won that Leo was high fiving all the whites that won when he lost? No. He wanted to win for himself...the concept of "as long as someone white wins..." likely doesn't cross his mind.

Its a competition between all the individual actors and actresses etc, not the racial collective. White folks don't care about the race of the winner if its not them. These people want to win because they worked hard and they feel they earned it...

Get more blacks in positions to be nominated and we will not only get nominated we will win.

If you really want to hurt White folks stop supporting White owned shit; Black folks may only make up about 15% of the US population but we have way more finacial power than you know.

But nothing in comparison to many others...

This is true.

Obviously 100% self-segregation at this point in the game is pretty much impossible but the point is putting more into your own communities and projects than outsiders is all I'm saying. Every other racial group understands and practices this to a t.

Everybody wants to leave our community and move into theirs, that's the sign that they have made it

Nobody wants to build our communities up, just escape them

Shit is sad asf

On a small scale. Owning mom and pop stores is totally different from creating national franchises.

No, no, no, just no

You have to seperate idealism and fantasy vs reality

The reality is we are not creating a seprate set of rules, institutions, infrastructure, job market, etc completely from white people

I'd LOVE to! Its not happening, purely fron a numbers standpoint.

So you do not just quit and say fuck it, we gon take our ball and go like you gon create a Black Oscar. Well, there actually is a black oscar, its called the Image award. And black people don't give a fuck about it.

No black actor goes thru 8 years of school, does broadway, bust their ass, struggles to survive, to have the cap of what they can win an Image Award. You gotta stay on their ass. Thats what 'oscarsowhite' did *chris rock undecut that entire movemrnt, that's another topic*

Its purely delusional to say 'lets just make our own shit', and it comes from people who dont have to work in a NORMAL job setting where they have to coexist wih people outside of their race

Imagine if all of the revolutionist around the world even in the past held your view....it may be far from your site but it is not delusional to say lets make our own shit...how do you think this colony became its own country? They said fuck the queen

Actually, they said, "Fuck the king."
