And why do you? You are taking away from those who got nominated and stating that they

Posted by: tteddy286 (a.k.a MasterofPinball1983) on Jan 15, 17:35 in response to charlie's post it's not just him

only get nominated because of their race and not because they have any skill or credibility at all.

Why should anyone vote for someone because they feel the need to fill a race quota or someone will decree racism? Maybe those that got nominated deserved it this year then all the other actors, of any race

W: For the first time since 1998, all the 20 acting category slots filled with white nominees #OscarsSoWhite trending Antibody Jan 15, 13:53

Where's the problem? {nm} Steve Scalise Jan 15, 14:09

The difference between 0 and 2.4 (12% of population) is pretty small. It's bound to happen, sometimes. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jan 15, 15:03

You're forgetting 17% Hispanics and 5% Asian. A third would be representative. {nm} Antibody Jan 15, 15:08

I meant a quarter. {nm} Antibody 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} maltrinity Jan 15, 15:35

You're right - they are only including white foreigners. Excellent point! {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 15:37

Its 6 and the point was you cannot use a quota system based on the US population. Nothing more. {nm} maltrinity Jan 15, 15:41

I got the point you were making. It's not a good one, is my point. {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 15:47

Tell that to Antibody who was using the US population. I never beleived the Academy members were ever objective. {nm} maltrinity Jan 15, 15:53

That makes it even worse. {nm} Antibody Jan 15, 15:56

yep {nm} maltrinity Jan 15, 15:59

Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jan 15, 16:57

Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jan 15, 16:59

Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jan 15, 16:59

Wow, a triple! Posting from the phone is a bit odd. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jan 15, 17:48

Whites dominate Hollywood! They always have and they always will. {nm} lhayes37 Jan 15, 15:19

"Always" is a very long time. Not a provable statement. {nm} BSmurf Jan 15, 15:44

lol wut? Whites will always dominate Hollywood. Most Jewish people are white, you do know that right? {nm} lhayes37 Jan 15, 16:27

wait, the *Jews* run Hollywood?! charlie Jan 15, 16:33

and the banks. dont forget the banks {nm} Moviesnob Jan 15, 16:38

well, sure, everyone knows that {nm} charlie 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? BSmurf Jan 15, 16:43

If the votes are for quality irregardless of colour, it's bound to happen some years. {nm} grammar Jan 15, 15:20

But as is noted every single years, Oscar votes aren't really based on quality. {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 15:22

No, this is what happens when Oscar voters are nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male. Antibody Jan 15, 15:58

That's sad and depressing. For shame Hollywood, for shame. {nm} Hersheybar Jan 15, 17:03

Still dont see the problem you have with this antibody. {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 17:29

it's not just him charlie Jan 15, 17:32

And why do you? You are taking away from those who got nominated and stating that they tteddy286 Jan 15, 17:35

if the hood fits . . . charlie 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 tteddy286 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} charlie 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 tteddy286 Jan 15, 17:52

i don't think "long" means what you think it means {nm} charlie Jan 15, 18:03

based upon statistics presented, its a very long list. And I should add tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:05

That's what she said {nm} JohnErleVan Jan 16, 01:50

Why should people have to vote for a minority just to make race baiters happy? {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 17:31

its not entirely about just the voting. people of color and women get far fewer opportunities to make films. thats not cool. {nm} islander Jan 15, 18:05

and this is the white persons fault? {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:11

obviously *nothing* is ever the white person's fault charlie Jan 15, 18:12

I guess you consider all the "white" people who feel into the hype and voted tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:17

please proceed, Governor {nm} charlie Jan 15, 18:21

I guess thats the answer I expected from you {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:25

uh, yes? {nm} islander Jan 15, 18:13

Other then your own opinion, how so? {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:14

I see Tyler Perry do more then well, and he is a minority. {nm} tteddy286 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} tteddy286 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} Moviesnob Jan 15, 18:18

appearantly they apply themselves enough to be in the film. tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:22

Because they created a sep category after long years of neglect. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 15, 18:24

I agree there were times of neglect, but I dont see that now. This era is all about opportunity tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:26

Just b/c Obama is president doesn't mean there's not racism, sexism or discrimination. Moviesnob 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? tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:33

Huh? Obama didn't win a majority of white votes in 2008. {nm} RogerMore 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 tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:48

"He could have only done that if a vast majority of the white population voted for him". Your words. {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 18:50

and who do you think the electoral votes are? According to politics, a majority of them were indeed white. {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:52

Next time tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:53

They are not "the white population", which is what you said. {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 18:54

Needless to say, people need to stop seeking racism and discrimination where none exists {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 18:57

And please, how many faithless electors are there? 24 states have laws against them, and the last election with more than one was in 1896 {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 18:58

Politicains are all faithless. Rarely any actually fulfill their promises once elected. They feed which ever hand feeds them and fattens tteddy286 Jan 15, 19:01

Oh look, more diversion. {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 19:08

well, provide some factual proof of racism and discrimination other then your owned prejudiced opinion and I'll refute it ;) {nm} tteddy286 Jan 15, 19:11

More diversion. I've already demonstrated that you make stuff up to support your opinions. Maybe you should do better at seeking truth? {nm} RogerMore Jan 15, 19:21

HaHaHa, your whining bores me. I see nothing but your tactics to turn the truth, that your personal opinions drives you to seek racism tteddy286 Jan 15, 19:56

Who effing cares? Poor me and cry me a river. Christ, get over the racial **** already. {nm} hawkfanatic2 Jan 15, 21:12

+1 {nm} Dorfman Jan 16, 06:21

Another thread i'll gladly skip {nm} JMT-NL Jan 16, 03:35
