HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
If I understand you correctly, you're stating FOR A FACT that for all of eternity, in perpetuity, that white people will dominate Hollywood?
Interesting. Considering "Hollywood" has been around for barely 100 years, I'm amazed that you can so accurately predict what it will be like in 100 more years, or 200 more, or 1000 more, or 1,000,000 more.
Can you email me next weeks winning lottery numbers?
My point is that no one can predict what ANYthing will be like in the future, so stop pretending that "the way it is" is "the way it will always be".
Am willing to bet that 250 years ago you would not have found any takers on there being a black president, either.
W: For the first time since 1998, all the 20 acting category slots filled with white nominees #OscarsSoWhite trending Jan 15, 13:53
Where's the problem? {nm} Jan 15, 14:09
The difference between 0 and 2.4 (12% of population) is pretty small. It's bound to happen, sometimes. {nm} Jan 15, 15:03
You're forgetting 17% Hispanics and 5% Asian. A third would be representative. {nm} Jan 15, 15:08
I meant a quarter. {nm} Jan 15, 15:09
At least 5 of the 20 nominees for acting are foreign born so that gums up the statistics a bit. {nm} Jan 15, 15:35
You're right - they are only including white foreigners. Excellent point! {nm} Jan 15, 15:37
Its 6 and the point was you cannot use a quota system based on the US population. Nothing more. {nm} Jan 15, 15:41
I got the point you were making. It's not a good one, is my point. {nm} Jan 15, 15:47
Tell that to Antibody who was using the US population. I never beleived the Academy members were ever objective. {nm} Jan 15, 15:53
That makes it even worse. {nm} Jan 15, 15:56
yep {nm} Jan 15, 15:59
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:57
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:59
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:59
Wow, a triple! Posting from the phone is a bit odd. {nm} Jan 15, 17:48
Whites dominate Hollywood! They always have and they always will. {nm} Jan 15, 15:19
"Always" is a very long time. Not a provable statement. {nm} Jan 15, 15:44
lol wut? Whites will always dominate Hollywood. Most Jewish people are white, you do know that right? {nm} Jan 15, 16:27
wait, the *Jews* run Hollywood?! Jan 15, 16:33
and the banks. dont forget the banks {nm} Jan 15, 16:38
well, sure, everyone knows that {nm} Jan 15, 16:50
If I understand you correctly, you're stating FOR A FACT that for all of eternity, in perpetuity, that white people will dominate Hollywood? Jan 15, 16:43
If the votes are for quality irregardless of colour, it's bound to happen some years. {nm} Jan 15, 15:20
But as is noted every single years, Oscar votes aren't really based on quality. {nm} Jan 15, 15:22
No, this is what happens when Oscar voters are nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male. Jan 15, 15:58
That's sad and depressing. For shame Hollywood, for shame. {nm} Jan 15, 17:03
Still dont see the problem you have with this antibody. {nm} Jan 15, 17:29
it's not just him Jan 15, 17:32
And why do you? You are taking away from those who got nominated and stating that they Jan 15, 17:35
if the hood fits . . . Jan 15, 17:42
I dont see how you classify this as a deficiency. Again, why should a white person not get nominated just because Jan 15, 17:46
one year might be an anomaly. year in year out over 87 years is a consistent pattern of bias against non-white actors {nm} Jan 15, 17:48
I see a long list of minorities who have won or been nominated in the past. So whats your problem? Why should Jan 15, 17:52
i don't think "long" means what you think it means {nm} Jan 15, 18:03
based upon statistics presented, its a very long list. And I should add Jan 15, 18:05
That's what she said {nm} Jan 16, 01:50
Why should people have to vote for a minority just to make race baiters happy? {nm} Jan 15, 17:31
and this is the white persons fault? {nm} Jan 15, 18:11
obviously *nothing* is ever the white person's fault Jan 15, 18:12
I guess you consider all the "white" people who feel into the hype and voted Jan 15, 18:17
please proceed, Governor {nm} Jan 15, 18:21
I guess thats the answer I expected from you {nm} Jan 15, 18:25
uh, yes? {nm} Jan 15, 18:13
Other then your own opinion, how so? {nm} Jan 15, 18:14
I see Tyler Perry do more then well, and he is a minority. {nm} Jan 15, 18:15
I see lots of women that apply themselves do excellent in the workforce. As well as minorities that apply themselves. {nm} Jan 15, 18:16
So you are suggesting that women don't apply themselves in film. Can't you see how that's discrimination? {nm} Jan 15, 18:18
appearantly they apply themselves enough to be in the film. Jan 15, 18:22
Because they created a sep category after long years of neglect. {nm} Jan 15, 18:24
I agree there were times of neglect, but I dont see that now. This era is all about opportunity Jan 15, 18:26
Just b/c Obama is president doesn't mean there's not racism, sexism or discrimination. Jan 15, 18:30
is this a personal opinion, or the opinion that the media has instilled into those who dont seek the truth themself? Jan 15, 18:33
Huh? Obama didn't win a majority of white votes in 2008. {nm} Jan 15, 18:44
U must think that the popular vote matters in the presidential race? It doesnt. all that matter is the electoral votes Jan 15, 18:48
"He could have only done that if a vast majority of the white population voted for him". Your words. {nm} Jan 15, 18:50
and who do you think the electoral votes are? According to politics, a majority of them were indeed white. {nm} Jan 15, 18:52
Next time Jan 15, 18:53
They are not "the white population", which is what you said. {nm} Jan 15, 18:54
Needless to say, people need to stop seeking racism and discrimination where none exists {nm} Jan 15, 18:57
Oh look, more diversion. {nm} Jan 15, 19:08
Who effing cares? Poor me and cry me a river. Christ, get over the racial **** already. {nm} Jan 15, 21:12
+1 {nm} Jan 16, 06:21
Another thread i'll gladly skip {nm} Jan 16, 03:35
