Chris Rock Calls Oscars 'The White BET Awards'

[blackrain]

The fact he chose the phrase "white BET Awards" as opposed to calling the BET Awards the "black Oscars" says a lot about how far the BET Awards perception has come. Remember people thought that shit wouldn't last past 2-3 years

 

[NeighborhoodNomad.]

What if he decided not to host their awards...?

 

[playmaker88]

Fuck the Bet awards as a staff record label and a crew also..

I mean on one hand its like fuck the Oscars.. who fuckin care about white validation.. apparently most..

but onthe flipside youd like to have your works celebrated and appreciated on the biggest stage.. Its a lengthy discussion that ill have in parts if a post piques my interest.

Who cares...I'm pretty sure you can eat out there without winning one of them trophies. Black people always wanting white acceptance huh?

That's exactly what is is....people forget what these people think about them..."why don't massa love my work"

Reminds me of the boondocks episode of catcher freeman

And tobias the slavemasters half son ,has a dream he will write a play and his master/father will love it and free him....

Tyler Perrys movies are simplistic, poorly written and repetitive BUT his business model is one black entertainers should be following, own your shit, do the hard ground work, partner with distributor, put money up, and get your own studio when you get big enough.

Na it made more sense in the context that he said it.

An Oscar has never made me want to see a movie any more or less than I already did.

Most critically acclaimed films are acclaimed by old white people.

When's the last time you had a great conversation/debate about films/shows with a geriatric white?

Actually the BET Awards been one of the better award shows the past few years. Especially since they've reformatted their station to not be as ignorant since VH1 snatched their niggorance crown which started with Flavor of Love and now is peaking with the Love and Hip Hop series

Martian was a really good movie.

They always nominate some film you've barely heard of like “the eucalyptus leaves of basil ave. In the summer" and they praise the shit out of some waif thin white lady or a white man who played a homosexual character. And the trailer just shows white people riding bikes up a street crying and hugging.

These awards were made by whites for whites. They may occasionally throw black people a bone but for the most part award shows like the Oscars aren't meant for blacks.
