As much as you do.

There's a huge list of blacks that have won at the oscars.

Two things:

the oscars? Really. When all the better crap to focus on with regards to racism this is your fight? (Your = Pinkett, Smith, lee...)

Oscar board needs to be more representative of today's America (like everything IMO) but any action toward "quotas" is asinine and absurd.

Right, so because blacks have their own awards, it's ok for the academy to snub black actors/directors/etc. year after year?

A primary reason there are such things at BET awards is because blacks have been traditionally excluded from mainstream; if they had not, there would be little reason to have such things.

I'm pointing out the double standard. As Dash said, if they want integration, then stop using those platforms to scream discrimination when it's not there. All this does is further segregate and THAT is the problem.

Yeah, it's definitely black people's fault.
 
I would like to ask the white folks, who feel threatened or angered by this, why does stuff like this make you feel this way?

Are we only capable of addressing one issue at a time?
 
This is a really good interview and covers a lot of ground regarding race in art.

I think this also goes back to the discussion about why some people hate Hayward or white players in general. I think it is in part due to a perception of cultural appropriation of a historically black game.

I dunno maybe I'm seeing too much into it, but I don't think so.
