is hip hop considered country music?....One white man has won a BET award in the 15 years since it started and you are bitching. You need to get a life.hooray for hollywood
to me, has always been a political bastion of liberalism. i was stunned to hear that:
Last year’s Oscar nominations drew howls of protests for their lack of diversity. This year, it’s even worse.
“Creed” was written and directed by the black Ryan Coogler and starred a black man, but the only nominee was a white man. “Straight Outta Compton” had a great acting ensemble of mostly young, black unknowns, and was directed by the black F. Gary Gray. But the film’s only nomination: for its screenplay, written by two Caucasians.
Last year, the hopes for diversity were based on one film, Paramount’s “Selma,” which earned two nominations, for best pic and song (winning the latter). This year, there were more opportunities, including “Creed,” “Straight Outta Compton” and “Chi-raq,” as well as “Beasts of No Nation” (directed by Cary Fukunaga). As with last year, the Hispanic/Latino filmmakers were represented only by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and his team in the “money” categories.
hollywood is paramount (pun intended) in it's political identity. conservative actors and directors will tell you they mostly keep their mouths shut if they want to work. there are of course exceptions to the rule.
Conservatives in Hollywood are so heavily discriminated against that they are forced to go underground and even have secret meetings. Not identifying as a liberal in the movie industry is a potential career killer.
“In LA, there is a secret, underground group of showbiz conservatives,” Victoria Jackson, a former Saturday Night Live cast member, told the Huffington Post. “It started with two people in 2000. I was at the fifth or tenth meeting, and now there are over 2,000 people. The only ones out of the closet are Jon Voight and Pat Boone. There are famous people in there, but they don’t want to lose their career — and conservatives are blacklisted.”
Vince Vaughn Will Be Shunned By Hollywood After Outing Himself as a Conservative
the question is how in the world could this happen ?? these are the people in the business of shaping the image, representation and presentation of liberal morals and motivation, it would be like macdonalds screwing up the happy meal.
everyone knows that hollywood has fostered generations of idealism with socialist roots, they should be able to get this right. they are now embroiled in the quagmire of the thing they supposedly stand against. there are many arguments to be made in their own defense, such as the quality or popularity of those judged for nomination.
to a conservative like me, it's pretty funny having it's collective liberal hypocritical pants down around their ankles.
maybe they can make a movie about this, susan sarandon and danny glover will always be employable.
or is this internal bigotry (i won't call it racism) and blacklisting all over again ?
this bleeds into other areas, like professional sports, i've heard stories of ball players, keep their political opinions to themselves to get along. political pressure from someone is everywhere, but the libs own it right now.
would it be worse if they manipulated the nominations to appease their long time image ? with the appearance of will smith and jada pinkett smith (some others & it will grow between now and showtime), this will be a story to watch.
straight outta compton was pretty darn good.

In a comparatively rare feat, a conservative writer has won a Pulitzer Prize, the most prestigious award in journalism. Bret Stephens, who writes a column for the Wall Street Journal primarily about world affairs is the first conservative to win the award in more than a decade.
Congratulations are certainly in order to Stephens for pulling off the win, especially since the very liberal Columbia University is in charge of the award.

If by one you mean Sean Smith, Ryan Lewis/ Macklemore, Eminem (BET Hip Hop Awards), Ed Burke/Todd Tourso, and Andy Mandler; then yes you would be correct. There are probably others.

There is such a thing as country rap and BET Awards are for R&B, Gospel, Sports, Directing, etc, as well as hip hop.

Maybe if black directors and actors didn't make shitty movies, theyight get a nomination. Concussion sucked and Straight out of Compton likely sucked as well. I am not interested in seeing it.
That said, I love it when liberals get hoisted by their own petards. That has happened a lot this past year.

Hey negro patronizing month is in little less than 2 weeks. MLK Day was just celebrated. They have a site called Blackpeoplemeet.com. They have their TV station. There is one of them in the white house (well half of one of them.)
Ooooops, is negro an offensive word?
Blacks have it better in this country NOW than in any other country....really in the history of the world and they are still rioting and protesting some bullshit.
Why?
Cause a negro.....oooooops...."A F R I C AN A M E R I C A N" was NOT nominated for an Oscar?
Man, the slaves did not even know what suffering was. Talk about something that causes mass suffering.
Frankenstein's monster = American liberal negro (ooops I did it again) the result of 50 years of democrats convincing THOSE PEOPLE that they are nothing but perpetual victims.

In 2014 'Twelve Years a Slave' won best picture and Lupita Nyongo won best supporting actress. Many black actors and actresses have won or been nominated. The first was in 1939.
This is starting to sound alot like Kanye West who thinks any time a black singer isn't a 'winner' of an award then the award is bogus. I'm all for racial equality but this is starting to sound like 'we demand 50% of everything regardless'.
Its simple, there are many multimillionaire black actors, singers, directors. Open a studio and produce the films you want to make and see how they do. This holds true for conservatives. There is a reason Limbaugh and Rupert Murdoch haven't opened Redneck Studios and started making 'conservatives' movies.
Except for the rare exception here or there they don't draw an audience and make money.
The very black actors/actresses complaining are the mediocre talents. I haven't seen Denzel Washington or Morgan Freeman say a word. Only the few that were snubbed.

That's not true but the race card is foolish.
It's a can't win situation now for African-Americans...
...now, if they get nominations, the propaganda will be that the Oscars just succumbed to pressure without regard to merit.
