This is political-correctness run amok. Does Sharpton want Affirmative-Action instead of excellence to be a consideration in selecting who the Oscars picks? Is a quota system now the standard when it comes to who gets recognition? He sights a lack of diversity is at play here. Good God!!!!
I counter this BS with; Why must black films always deal with either slavery or civil rights. Are blacks always to be typecast thusly? When is the black community going to move on to showing blacks as fitting into society rather than looking from the outside?
