Did anyone else think that some Oscar winners must be thinking to themselves "It's because i'm black, right?" ?
Not taking anything away from them, but the kick back from #oscarsowhite is quite, quite transparent.
Or, am i wrong?
Apparently, we haven't come far enough.

Also a comment on the facebook page of Moonlight someone said what if they messed up truly on purpose to never have that movie be forgotten? interesting comment for sure.
One winner said that they are the only profession on knowing what it is to life a life? Acting is fake characters.
Nominees that I saw:
Arrival- Awesome
Hacksaw Ridge- Great I wsh would have won.
Hell or High Water- Good but over rated.
La La Land- Cool for a chick flick.
Manchester by the Sea- Slow and sad.
Yet to see:
Fences- Redbox it and I really want to see.
Hidden Figures- maybe I don't really like movies about NASA.
Lion- Looks awesome can't wait to see.
Moonlight- Not really interested.
First I want to see "Logan" and "Get out".

I know, someone should be able to point out obvious response to protest without having to carefully choosing their words. welcome to Trump's America.
And in that case, a response to it just seems, well, hateful.
Remember "Black Lives Matter" and the idiot response to it "All Lives Matter"?
Of course all lives matter, don't be stupid. The point is that for a long, long time, and maybe even now, to some extent, black lives did NOT matter to a lot of people.

From Wikipedia.com
Moonlight also became the first film with an all black cast, the first LGBT film and the second lowest-grossing film domestically (behind The Hurt Locker) to win the Best Picture award. The film's editor, Joi McMillon, became the first black woman to be nominated for an editing Oscar (alongside co-editor Nat Sanders) and Ali became the first Muslim to win an acting Oscar.
Interesting that this movie was made because Mormons and black community are probably the biggest ones against homosexuality especially when proposition eight came about in California. And maybe only 2.7 million people have seen this in theaters. There is less than 1% of the US population.
I also thought hurt locker was terrible. Avatar should've won that year.

That is what this man says. And this man voted for Obama then voted for Trump.
