Well here is the thing...

They are using the facts that Straight Outta Compton and Will Smith were not nominated for Oscars to prove that the Oscars are racist. But did they deserve to be...

Did Straight Outta Compton deserve to be nominated for Best Picture? = According to film critics, NO. According to film critics, it was only the 68th best reviewed picture of last year. In other words, there were 67 movies that were better than it.

Did Will Smith deserve a nomination for Best Actor? = probably not. He was criticized for his Nigerian accent in the movie. He was not nominated for many of the major awards this year. He got nominated for some Black Awards and for a Golden Globe. However, the Golden Globes nominate 10 actors for best actor and split them into two categories, Comedy and Drama. He had more of a chance to get the nomination. I'm sure that his family and employees told him that he deserved to get a nomination, but that doesn't mean he deserved one.

So why the outrage...

They wanted people to vote for Straight Outta Compton simply because it was a black movie, which is very racist in itself.

And, the President of the Academy is a black woman who wants quotas for the Oscars. She bitched and moaned last year because of the nominations and nothing much changed.

So, lets make some new categories to solve the problem. We can have a category for Actresses and then one for Blacktresses. We can also have a category for Actors and then Blacktors. This is really what we are talking about. So much for integration... Oh wait, now that is real racist.

Next year, when no black actresses or actors are nominated, there is going to be even more change to the Acedemy, until one year, all the members of the Academy are going to be required to take Black History, so that they UNDERSTAND why their vote should be a politically correct and RIGHT one. If they don't, they are simply a bunch of racist.
