This while racism deal about the Oscars needs to be shot in the head and should never be brought up as long as BET exists and has its own award shows. Devil's Advocate here: 1. BET awards on a channel that had to be created because mainstream channels weren't diverse. 2. How many black people won awards in TV or movies before BET that didn't have the last name Poitier. 3. I agree that that the awards aren't racist. How many movies that were dramas had a black dude as its star? 4. Isn't it weird that most black people that win Oscar's,or are even nominated, are for biographical dramas, not fictional stories of hope. Ali, Malcolm X, 12 Years a Slave, Cry Freedom, etc etc. 5. I didn't cry when Annie was played by a black girl.

Agreed on first part. Chris Rock even said it. He said he told Obama blacks couldn't get jobs from the nicest white people in the country, liberals. I would also say its writers and producers that are looking for a specific type, or writing about a specific type. Of course it would help that every time a black person is cast, in say, a role usually played by a white person(especially anything ever in comic books), that the internet doesn't explode.
Love Graham Greene. Most Native peoples with clout see themselves as their tribe first, so makes it hard to circle the wagons when it comes to combining resources.
