Chris Rock Calls Oscars 'The White BET Awards'

[SneakDZA]

The Oscars have many criticisms but if you niggas think winnin' one isn't a big deal or its about white acceptance pssssh I dunno. To win the most prestigious award in your field is to be recognised by your peers for all the hard work you put into it

Once you win one of these awards your demand is increased as is the money you are offered.

That's false for blk thespians...

For all of them? You sure? Seeing as they rarely win and all.

Name a blk thespian whose career blossomed after they won?

And i'm not talking popularity, im talking body of wrk..

Sidney Poiteir (sp) after lilies in the fields.

Denzel Washington after Glory.

Octavia Spencer is eating outchea.

Jamie Foxx.

Jamie was an established act when he won for Ray...

So was Sidney Pottier, he was already the go to blk actor by the time he won...

What other significant role did Octavia Spencer get, after the help?

Had it not been for Spike Lee,with Malcolm X n Mo Betta Blues

Zell would of been sittin on 3 years of straight duds. Zel was getting trash offers n doing movies like Heart Condition :'( , Much Ado About Nothing :'( , Richochet :'( , Missipi Masala :'( ...

... as a blk actor n actress it doesn't really help that u got an Oscar.

whats with the semantics , you asked about body of work after Oscar wins and i gave you undeniable answers they all have good body of work after winning their respective Oscars.

Not Halle berry

she has a very bad agent and personal issues.

She's also a pretty not-so-good actress and chooses horrible movies. But that might not be her fault since it's slim pickins for a black woman in Hollywood.

When blk ppl are facing actual opression, so many blk celebrities are mute, or obtain temporary amnesia.

Instead of supporting the blk community , they rather play nice with the dominant society. they fix they're faces like jada, n be on that, all lives matter tip. Well then, all actors matter bih.

Will said, not too long ago "racism exist, but it's rare."

Now they don't get their lil trophies, they wanna become Blk Panthers.... hilarious

I seen this so many times with blk celebs.

They don't owe the blk community nothing, we don't owe them shit either.

 

[Ilike2get baked]

Oscars being anti black is nothing new....why fuck with or worry about validation that you will never get?

 

[babelipsss]

Exactly which movie or actor got snubbed?

 

[Max.]

Im suprised rock aint been found dead/locked up

 

[babelipsss]

I only saw Straight outta Compton and that was only out of nostalgia. The others on the list...didn't seem all that interesting for me tbh. Hollywood is going to honor what they want. There are no affirmative action programs in effect.

 

[SneakDZA]

Gotta love that millennial "why bother trying to change things" spirit.

That was Nia Long who said All Lives Matter not Jada...actually Jada Pinkett long been talking about shit like this especially when it comes to black women in Hollywood

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

Shit Monique aint been heard from since.

Or Lupita Nygongo. She won best supporting actress a year or 2 ago and i really cant think of her in any other major movie roles.

Get out your feelings. Stop looking for others to fight your battles, and fight your own battle.

I see nothing wrong with Jada staying mute on shit that doesn't apply to her, but speaking on shit that hits home. That's pretty much human nature. Most to all people are not going to put their neck out there for shit they haven't experienced or shit that doesn't apply to them.

If you feel some shit needs to be addressed, LEAD THE WAY and START A MOVEMENT, don't expect me or anyone else to stand up for your cause. I have my own causes which I obviously deem to be of higher priority.

Nah, I wouldn't fuck up my money for you niggas either. Niggas March and start protesting groups. Not one black militia in the us of fucking a. Honesty is the best policy. Black people are cool with how they're treated here. If they weren't they'd be dropping bodies, or not shopping at all white stores, or holding people accountable for their actions. Since niggas don't do that I don't blame black celebs for not doing it either. Yall niggas view rich blacks like they're superheroes that can change the world.
