So,
this year, none of the actors nominated for an Oscar is
African-American. For this, the leftist elites have their dander up in a
big way. Some of the many talented, wealthy, privileged
African-Americans who are members of the Academy are so angry that they
are going to boycott
the awards this year. So are many of the not African-Americans, of
course. Many of them truly do think everything is about them, that the
world revolves around them and their work.
On the weekend of Martin Luther King's birthday, these folks had him turning over in his grave. King's wish for everyone to be judged by the "content of their character" has been smashed to smithereens during the seven years of the Obama administration. Under Obama, everything is about skin color. Everything. Not character, not merit, not good citizenship, only race. Is the Academy membership racist? It is not – not for a moment. No industry has bent over backward more than the film industry to be inclusive of all races.
African-Americans are about thirteen percent of the American population. One point seven percent of our population is gay. Does anyone actually think these groups are underrepresented in our culture? Our music, our television programs, our films? No. The entertainment industry is legendary for its efforts to be interracial, inter-everybody. It has been for at least four decades. These groups are overrepresented by design, and for good reason. People hardly notice race anymore. Certainly our younger generations do not. They would hardly notice their friends' skin color if it were not for their teachers and university professors separating them out by race and sexual orientation and indicting them for their "privilege" if they happen to be Caucasian.
