The Oscar Judges Are Racist
For all the patting on the back that white people have been doing for the advances made by blacks at the Oscars, the scent of racism is still in the air.
Evidently its ok to vote for a black person in a movie, so long as it doesn't offend the delicate sensibilities of White America.
But "You Got Served" struck out last night, and I think it's a real shame. I guess it's ok for black folks to dance on the screen, so long as its confined to the three or four minute videos on BET or one of MTV's hip hop shows.
However, The Man obviously cannot stand to let blacks dance their hearts out for 90 minutes. Maybe "You Got Served" would have squeaked by the judges who believe that Denzel and Hallie are white enough to honor had it not been for the movie's climax -- the big dance battle.
Frankly, I'm suprised that The Man even allowed that dance battle to be shown without an X rating. But it crossed a line.
That battle was "no rules."
"Straight street."
The academy wants order in its dancing -- no battles, and certainly if a dancing skirmish must errupt, it had better have rules.

If it's hypocrital to joke about playing the race card in a post following one that talks about genuine anti-semitism, then I'm the pot. Or the kettle. Or just stupid.

"Look at us! We give out Oscars to black people just like they're regular people! We even had a black host and invited Oprah and made Beyonce sing every song in a bunch of different dresses! Blackity black black!"
(You totally served the Academy.)
Two words tell me that Old Man Oscar is a bigot,"White Girls". Zero nominations, zero awards. Oh sure it was in a humorous sketch. But damn it, did those candy-assesed bastards do a humorous sketch for Ghandi, Schindler's List, Titanic, Rocky IV and Howard the Duck. No. I rest my case.
