When did she last work? <br /><br />It's a disgrace, of course, the repeated snubbing of non-white actors, writers, directors, etc. And when the nominate Stallone, the only white guy in "Creed," they seem to be going out of their way to extend a middle finger to black actors.Professor Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983291640844939759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-36918332551455926542016-01-20T12:42:26.096-05:002016-01-20T12:42:26.096-05:00Plus, I want Rock to stay.

We need to make those movies blockbusters.<br /><br />We have the power to make change by choosing the movies we see and the movies we boycott.Tonihttp://musingsfrommara.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-44534914126636047072016-01-20T11:40:46.109-05:002016-01-20T11:40:46.109-05:00Interesting history.

As it is, and able as he is, and with all the hoopla, he's now increasingly going to be seen as a 'token' emcee. If he does pull out and they have to get a white face as substitute (what black figure would DARE to step in?) it'd underline the strength of the point the Lee-sided critics are making.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.com
