* Did anyone just see the Chris Rock Oscar monologue? Holy crap, I was not expecting that all! It had some of the most “HBD-influenced” commentary I have ever seen in a mainstream media event. I never thought I would hear that Rocky/Star Wars joke on TV! Are we living through the death throes of PC?
* I wonder how this angst-ridden, American racial drama plays out around the world. American blacks want to see more movies with blacks but the world wide box office probably doesn’t.
I’m getting pretty fatigued with all this diversity being shoved into my face everywhere I go.
* I liked it because:
1. Rock explicitly stated that “lack of diversity” isn’t quite as bad as your grandmother getting lynched.
2. It’s always nice to see preachy left-wingers get called out on their massive hypocrisy.
3. Once again, “diversity” only meant “black”. I’m sure Chris Rock was bummed by the lack of Latino and Asian nominees. But he wasn’t bummed enough to mention it.
* Lynching? Something like 3500 blacks were lynched in the history of the US, and about 1500 whites were lynched too, so it’s hardly a black experience. Also, rape? White men simply don’t rape black women, probably due to black women not being all that attractive. We all know the statistics.
* I’m getting tired of paying for what I expect to be entertainment, and then finding out I’ve paid to receive a moral lecture about what a shitty person I am for wanting my children to have a future. No more. I refuse to support anything that is based on the promotion of minorities or feminism.
It would seem that the decades of propaganda seeking to convince me that I’m a racist have worked.
* Hispanics, Asians and others are not complaining. The way blacks carry on you would think 50% of the population claims it is being cheated, not 12%. It’s crazy and they better get their licks in now because they will get lots less attention after January 20th. I’ll bet 50% of blacks are embarrassed by this gaudy, ghettoish displaying, preening and bitching that never ends.
* I’m happy to watch movies with Samuel L. Jackson or Dwayne Johnson. I also like movies with Matt Damon or Harrison Ford. I suspect most blacks feel the same way: we want to see interesting — or at least fun — movies.
* NYT 1998: Last year ”Seinfeld,” the top-rated television show in white households, ranked 50th in African-American homes, according to Nielsen Media Research, while the comedy ”Between Brothers,” No. 1 in black households, ranked 112th among whites.
Similarly, according to Nielsen, in the first two months of the current prime-time season, ”The Steve Harvey Show,” a comedy, ranked No. 1 in black households, but 118th in white households, while ”Friends,” the No. 1 comedy and No. 2 show overall in white households, ranked just 91st for blacks.
* Ah yes. The 1960s. A hotbed of lynchings. All those grandmothers swinging from trees in 1962. So tragic.
* What no one wants to acknowledge is that Chinese and other non-American people, who make up a huge slice of Hollywood film viewership, don’t really want to see blacks. Just like most Americans don’t really want to see aboriginals in Australian films.
* Like the swan in Clooney’s ass, I have an impacted ass full of getting lectured on racism. Those cucks sat quietly and took their medicine.
* Who cares what one whiny rich lefty entertainer said to a bunch of other whiny rich lefty entertainers at their annual lefty industry award show?
The Oscars are over. The tokenism will burn it down, which is why, 10-15 years, writers will lament how the Oscars “aren’t glamorous” anymore and have somehow become “cliche” and “déclassé” all other sorts of euphemisms for complaining about affirmative action taking over.
Pass the popcorn, though. I love to watch a good disaster flick in the middle of the destruction. Especially when the players so richly deserve their fate.
* I thought Mr. Rock’s monologue made a lot of sense. It certainly wasn’t the idiotic rant I’ve come to expect from other Negroes put in his position. That said, there has been a mutual drifting apart of the races in this country. One place it shows up is in the utterly different racial tastes in movies, television, radio, and music. I don’t think there is any way to heal this rift. An official and detailed separate but equal policy is probably the best bet at this point.
* The portion of the Oscars I watched was a continuance loop of pet project grievances. Climate change, sexual harassment, immigration, whatever the acronym for homosexuals, etc is now, and, of course, RACISM. An industry circle jerk has morphed into an ideological circle jerk. Hard to watch before, like a train wreck now – hard to turn away it’s so bad.
A DNC infomercial with some gold statues and cool grab bags thrown in for good measure.
