Very disappointing. Cuz for every black person that tries to stand up against the system another stands up to diffuse it.
I'm totally with Jada, not because of Will, but because NO BLACK ACTORS GOT ANY NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR.
What jeopardy will boycotting the Oscars cause Black actors when the Oscars are already boycotting Black actors???
Most of the roles they offer black people are typically exploitive anyway.
Black people need to be focused on building their own, but Aunt Viv chooses not to focus on that and attacks Will for not being "Oscar-worthy" which STILL translates to "White-acceptance worthy" in my opinion. It seems her m.o. is her personal beef with Will, and not a real concern for Black people's progress.
Fuck Hollywood, black folks need to build their own damn Hollywood. I don't like Tyler Perry's work but I damn sure respect him investing into his own shit.

that's it right there.
Yep you are on it! Sometimes you just want to repeat shit as if that actually makes it real! - Respect.
FYI, around 16:45
"I don't know who that is but she wouldn't be able to even get a ticket."
But on the real... Let's keep shit funky. Black people been getting shitted on for years. Since "The Color Purple", great movie, no Oscar nods. "X", same shit, but Denzel Wins it for "Training Day". Look at Will's catalog, no "Black Classic" films. And that's what she's talking about. Why you telling other black people to stand up because Will not getting a nod. Where were you when "X" got shitted on? At the end of the day, it's JADA talking shit, NOT WILL. Like I said before, Jada is GOOD! She aint missing no meals, she fuckin Will. And Will can easily say, "It wasn't me Massa, it was my hoe-bitch-nigga-wife".Why is anyone surprised by this? Janet HATES Will. Janet has hated Will for over 20 years. Hating Will is kinda all Janet has left.
Yeah, there's a problem with the Oscars, and cops KEEP killing unarmed black men.
Yeah... Shows a big ass divide. The Willie Lynch tactics still resonates.
Doesn't matter what her beef is with them but she has a point.. The smiths on a huge production studio where they only produces projects for family and such they not giving struggling black actresses and actors no work... So how can Jada boycott anything? She and will apart of the problem.
Folk can say what they want about Tyler Perry but he controls the money, his projects and distraction of his movies plus he got Oprah backing him
The funny thing is......i don't think Jada or Spike ever said the word Boycot, but tons of white people and the news is saying boycott.
Even listening to Spike on the Michael kay show, they kept saying "Are you boycotting the award show, why are you boycotting the award show.....why don't you just boycott the award show"
Spike said i'm not boycotting, i'm just going to the Knicks game that night to watch them beat the Miami Heat.
Neely Fuller said that they are master wordsmiths and them throwing the word around will push the agenda that we are doing something that we never said we were doing.
Just not watching that bullshit.

Denzel only got it for Training day because Julia Roberst openly campaigned for him to get it..
Still bullshit tho
Damn!
her going off in her Access Hollywood interview
Yeah man she did it at the golden globes
That's just business as usual fam. Hollywood imagines a world where white people are completely ascendant. So few of the mainstream movies we see envision a world that you or I would recognize, a complex, colorful world. Seems like the Oscar noms are just reflecting the status quo in Hollywood.
.
Typical....
You gone have your white savior soon you trick ass bitch. You got damn right I love and respect OUR President Barack H. Obama...just like them racist white crackas (your peers) love and respect them some Ronald Reagan.
that shit was ether.
What I also noticed about the clip is how the CAC's kept mentioning how 12 years a slave and the butler won awards so they can't say we aren't getting awards. Like we should be happy to be slaves and butlers. Slave movies always win awards because the support the narrative of white supremacy. A movie about slave revolts aint never getting mainstream recognition.
Chris doesn't have to boycott it but best believe he's gonna mention it at the ceremony....lol
but he gonna have to be REAL careful...
He aint gonna get no pass.
Cause even cacs are take the opportunity to look so liberal and caring and turn on Chris.
He better come guns blazing and speak the truth to power like we all know he can.
Not true at all. Research what they do behind the scene.
