    Did I say that? No.

    Am I surprised that black people are pissed off that, for 2 years in a row, the Oscars, which is meant to be the pinnacle of someone's acting career, only nominates white people? No.

    We're not talking a tiny minority here, there are ****loads of black actors, and plenty of good ones.

    Are you saying there's no racism in society nowadays?

    Will Smith has got to be one of the richest Hollywood actors in history so she has done ok out of the racist Hollywood industry.

    Got to love a bit of cut and paste to hammer home the point.

    Not seen any of these movies btw.

    Danny Trejo should have received an Oscar (De La Hoya?) for Machette. Only reason he didn't was because he was Mexican. Hollywood Taco Haters!!!!

    You've went straight to racism - without considering any other factors (as a first guess, maybe out of touch snobbishness of an elite who genuinely don't rate gangster rap movies, even if they personally are in no way racist?). Just chuck a few stats in there and then imply causation - have a read of this, as you (and the Guardian types) do this all the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation

    So you're saying the only films black people starred in were gangster rap movies?

    Really?

    Maybe Hollywood bosses shouldn't cast black people so accusations of racism aren't thrown about like confetti when they don't get nominated for awards.
