Quoted from TonyDionisio


Hence MY point. The conversation is moot unless you decide to take action. With regard to leveling the "playing" field, you know it is already being implemented behind closed doors as we speak -- that's how these people make deals to save jobs and face.

Look, I live in NY, the biggest melting pot in the world, and I know EXACTLY were this is heading, you will see changes -- and those changes will not bring us to a better place. Hence why I am telling all of you not to regurgitate this affirmative action conversation at its very core. Reject it.


This is such hyperbole. One would have to conclude that any theoretical discussion is rendered moot unless it is followed by some certain draconian action. No one has discussed sanctions or regulations. And since you keep citing affirmative action - please at least quote one source where someone is asking for preferential treatment when it comes to the Oscars. Just one and I will listen.

The only question you have to answer is whether or not you believe that an award based entirely on subjective measures could be influenced by the demographics of those exercising the judgement. i.e., if the voting membership was 94% black under the age of 30, do you think the awards would be the same? If you conclude yes, okay dokay. I happen to think otherwise.

I'm not sure what the exact process is for Oscar nominations. I could look it up. Or instead I can just wing it and get to my point. Can you guess which option I went with?

That's right. There's not enough minutes left in my life for such mincing about.

I do know that the only people nominated for Straight Outta Compton were the screenwriters. And all of them were white. Either these people have some cool black friends or someone not white helped them make that dialogue work as well as it did.

The only person nominated for Creed was Sylvester Stallone.

Now, if I was black, I would assume someone is definitely taking the piss.
