Is Hollywood overwhelmingly left leaning? Of course it is. And people have been complaining for weeks about #OscarsSoWhite. Some decided to boycott. Of course, most who were boycotting weren’t up for an award in the first place. People wondered if Chris Rock would take on the “racism” as the host. Yes, he did
(Breitbart) Comedian Chris Rock opened the 88th Academy Awards on Sunday by commenting on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
“Man, I counted at least 15 black people in that montage!†he said in reference to this year’s lack of diversity among acting nominees. “You realize if they nominated hosts, I wouldn’t even get this job!†(snip)
Rock also joked the Academy should create “black categories,†noting: “You already do it with men and women, think about it. There’s no real reason to have a men and a women category in acting. It’s not track and field, you don’t have to separate them.â€
Well, maybe we should consider that Blacks already have numerous awards (that’s a short list) that are open ONLY to Black people. Of course, somehow, these Black actors and actresses are “heroes“.
Rock later introduced the evening’s first presenters, saying, “You want diversity? We got diversity. Please welcome Emily Blunt and somebody whiter, Charlize Theron.â€
Now, consider, if Rock was white and the presenters where Black, and he said “somebody blacker”, would that have been racist? You know that the line would have created a firestorm. So would many of his other lines if they went the other way. But, hey, these lefties at the Oscars were laughing about being called racists. Are they racists? Good question. But, it is amusing that they are basically accusing themselves of being racists. But, Rock is being slammed by Black activists for one line
The joke: “Why are we protesting this Oscars? It’s the 88th Academy Awards, which means this ‘no black nominees’ thing happened at least 71 other times. You got to figure that it happened in the 50s, in the 60s. One of those years, Sidney [Poitier] didn’t put out a movie. I’m sure there were no black nominees some of those years, say ‘62’ or ‘63. Black people did not protest. Why? Because we had real things to protest at the time. We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer. When your grandmother’s swinging from a tree, it’s really hard to care about best documentary foregin short.â€
It’s the line about “real things to protest” that has gotten people Offended.
Then we had Sheriff Joe Biden, who created massive traffic problems when he showed up at the Oscars
(Breitbart) Vice President Joe Biden gave a brief speech in support of victims of sexual violence while introducing Lady Gaga at the Academy Awards on Sunday night.
“Too many women and men… are still victims of sexual abuse,†Joe Biden said, after receiving a raucous standing ovation.
Biden urged the Oscars audience and viewers watching at home to “take the pledge, a pledge that says, ‘I will intervene in situations where consent cannot or has not been given.’â€
Let’s see: racism in Hollywood. Sexual assault in Hollywood and college campuses. Why are liberals so racist and sexual assaulty?

Do you think that the traffic problems were completely the fault of Biden ? I don’t
I think last year and the year before that there were traffic problems
But thank you for bringing your own white view forward for us to see
I didn’t watch the Oscars and did not go to a movie theater last year
Seriously, that’s what you got out of the post? Traffic?
Say, John, why are your Democratic Party friends so racist and sexual assaulty?
Seriously Teach
Liberals are not perfect we acknowledge that and constantly try to improve our world
Do conservatives believe themselves to be fully perfected human beings?
Teach the US military academies report the same frequency of rape as US colleges in general
That rate is 5% per year or 20% in 4 years
Of course in this we are comparing “the best of the best” conservatives with pretty much average Liberal American college students
It is like saying “the best of the best” in our military academies are no better than the average run of the mill liberal college kids
This is from website oneinfourusa.com
Would you like statistics on women who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan ? Their rate of assault is about 5 times as high per year
I applaud Liberals who try to decrease violence against women
Conservatives seem to justify it as look at what she was wearing or she shouldn’t have joined up into a man’s army
John,
I have inside knowledge on the military academies and that stat is clearly wrong. Besides, if women can’t defend themselves, then what are they doing in the military?
[…] Liberals Protest Their Own Culture of Racism and Sexual Assault at Oscars: … Well, maybe we should consider that Blacks already have numerous awards (that’s a short list) that are open ONLY to Black people. Of course, somehow, these Black actors and actresses are “heroes“. See the list at Pirate’s Cove […]
William: Really? So racism and sexual assault are the province of liberals? That’s pretty dumb.
Chris Rock’s main point is summed up in one story:
If the “nicest white people on Earth” practice racism, what can we expect from American conservatives (hardly the nicest white people on Earth)?
Not sure why you imply that liberals are the rapists of the world.
