Instead of celebrating the nomination of some for Oscars, some people turn it into a multicultural cesspool.
HOLLYWOOD — Has the film biz’s perceived color barrier officially crumbled for good?
NAACPNAACP Hollywood bureau executive director Vicangelo Bulluck on Tuesday said, “It is a great day and everyone should be proud — not just African Americans but the entire creative community. Hollywood has come a long way since ‘Birth of a Nation.’ “
Why should everyone be proud? Because some minorities / various ethnic groups were nominated for Oscars? I’m sorry, I just don’t get it. They weren’t nominated because they were minorities, they were nominated because they were great in their roles, according to the Academy.
There’s no color barrier, there’s a talent barrier. When the best ticket selling black movies are Soul Plane, Are We There Yet, and such, is it any wonder why movies like Ray, which is a real movie is such a hit with the public? Maybe if directors stopped turning out stereotypical black movies and focused on just turning out movies with real black people (like Ray, Man on Fire, etc.) things would be different. Instead, most black movies look like a made-for-TV-movie on UPN or the WB.
The color barrier is not in the Academy, it’s in the thought that black people are too stupid to comprehend anything but the lowest common denominator thug gangster bullshit that Hollywood can turn out, and that mentality is firmly rooted in Hollywood regardless of how many real actors like Denzel and Halle win awards.
