If you didn't know, white people are evil, and black people don't get the opportunity white people do because they're being held down by white people in power.

Don't believe me? Just turn on the oscars!

Did not watch one second of that crap...Did see a clip this morning on the new of Leo acceptance speech talking about climate change being a real problem. Then the news said he has taken 6 private jet trips in the last week or so. What a joke if he is so worried about it he should be flying on passenger plans to limit is Carbon footprint. Which is a crock of [EMAIL="$#@$"]$#@$[/EMAIL] anyway.

I watched. I thought it was good. Chris Rock did a good job going after both sides of the debate. Congrats Leo!

I didn't watch the Oscars but at what point are the intelligent blacks in this country going to start speaking out more against this broken line of logic?

Confused. DiCaprio spoke out against global climate change, but takes private jets everywhere he goes? Serious replies only.

In 2016 it amazes me that this kind of thing still holds that much weight. I'd say it holds more weight now (racism, etc) than it did before we had a black president. It's fucking sad.

And for every joke that was made last night about "white people," I'd love for a white person to deliver the exact same jokes, but only interchange the words "white/black" and "black/white."

2016... so freaking sad.

If the jokes were reversed the person telling it would be killed or arrested.

You do know spelling not my strong suit.
Who said anything about being proud? I just love lamb, green onions and hard bread. But most of all beer and whisky shots at the picnic that the only way anyone can polka with any dignity.

He thinks his influence outweighs the damage he does himself. To be fair, it would be hard to have microphones and cameras stuck in your face all the time without convincing yourself that you have something important to say.

Spelling, reading and grammar was not in my deck of cards. Some people are blessed with this lack of ability while others have it given to them but never use it to the fullest potential. What is worse ... :)

We help a lot. No different than grownups idolizing high school athletes and then wondering why a seemingly high percentage of them are fucked up.

Precisely why I will not watch these 'award' shows full of over-indulged narcisstic 'stars' who think they are waaaaayyyyyy more important than they really are.

Same with professional sports....
