unnecessary whining...Oscars are fair most of the time...sure there is racism in America but I don't think that Oscars are affected by racism ...we have Chris Rock hosting it this year and before also he has hosted it...I mean come on...

saw it in the news..zabardasti time pass.Though racism still exists and I do see it living in Texas,but come on in this day and age and probably on the world's biggest platform like the Oscars,I don't think Whites will make it obvious😳I don't know what I am saying😆I need chai

Concussion...he is good in this movie...but those nominated were better than him...to take one of them out just to adjust one black actor would be unjust to other actors...this is not an employment scheme...where everyone has a quota..

Its stupid. JAda started the whole thing cos Will Smith wasn't nominated. But these ppl have no problem having exclusive awards just for the black community. Or having a completely Black channel.

Like Stacey Dash said- 'Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET [Black Entertainment Television] and the BET Awards and the Image Awards where you're only awarded if you're black.'She then added: 'If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard.'

^ Well said.Def not saying there isn't any white privilege in US but this issue seems trivial when there are much more pressing issues which the Black community faces.

I haven't seen concussion but will smith is a great actor..'The Pursuit of Happyness' is my fav film and he is just too good in the movie and equally good was his son.Did he get an Oscar for that??
