Now, if you've been under a rock lately or don't care for entertainment industry talk let me fill you in. The fact that not one black actor or actress hasn't been nominated for an Oscar this year is the conversation starter. Jada Pinket Smith was one of the first celebrities to speak on the topic and ever since then it's been the topic of discussion. We've heard arguments back and forth on why and why not the black community isn't being recognized this year but we can't forget the host of the event is none other than the legend himself Chris Rock. Should Chris Rock continue on and host this event that's refusing to recognize black talent for the 2nd year in a row or should he stand down and join the #boycotttheoscars movement.
HELL TO THE YEAH! Chris Rock better still host the Oscars. First off let's get one thing straight: this #boycotttheoscars isn't paying Chris's bills! I know he's getting paid a pretty CHECK! Nothing should come in between getting your paper. 2nd, Chris Rock is a legendary comedian who's known for saying what white people DON'T wanna hear. Isn't it almost exciting to know this white audience (since many black celebrities have chose not to attend this year) is going to be the audience for Chris Rock. I laugh because they gave the wrong black man the mic LOL. I mean this whole conversation is great material for him and the jokes that he's gonna gonna be saying are gonna be hilarious! I already know! Lastly, i think the only way to calm down this "indifference" of people is through comedy.
We've heard comments from celebrities like #StacyDash who feels that #BET and the #BETawards force segregation. Which is utterly bullsh*t because all we did (speaking for black people) much like other nationalities is create a platform for ourselves when main stream America wouldn't! But, that's a whole other conversation. Stacy take two seats please and stay there.
To get back on topic, comedy is going to give us the opportunity to recognize and laugh at what we feel is making us different as people. Because, in the end we are all one and the Oscars should recognize people off of talent and performance not skin tone. Who's better to do that than Chris Rock. I think this is all great marketing for the event and if you do tune in to the Oscars be prepared to laugh at what every black person wants to say to "White Hollywood". I know Chris Rock is gonna hold it down!
