Black “Oscars Boycott” Hypocrisy

The New Observer
January 22, 2016

Black activists who have attacked the 2016 Oscars awards for being “too white”  ignore the fact that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of blacks-only organizations all across America dedicated exclusively to promoting black entertainment, music, professions, recreation, education, and even beauty pageants.

And-the-Oscar-Goes

Even more bizarrely, the allegation that the Oscars are “too white” ignores the fact that the award process is controlled by Hollywood insiders—the vast majority of whom are Jewish liberals who are on the far left of the political spectrum—and the most “pro-black,” as their film output demonstrates year after year.

Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the black head of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—which runs the Oscars—said she was going to “take action to alter the make-up” of the organization’s membership after producer Spike Lee said he was going to boycott the 2016 awards because it was “lily white.”

Lee was joined in his protest by actress Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of black actor Will Smith.

Lee—most infamous for his vicious anti-white films such as Malcolm X and CSA: Confederate States of America—is possibly the most hypocritical of all.

Lee’s first college was the all-black, all-male, Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where alumni include Martin Luther King, Jr. Somehow, Lee did not have a problem attending that racially-exclusive educational institution—because it was for blacks only, no doubt.

Even more hypocritically, Lee has won awards from two blacks-only movie organizations. The Black Reel Awards (set up to “annually recognize and celebrate the achievements of black people in feature, independent, and television films”) awarded several prizes for his Love and Basketball film.

Lee also won prizes from the “Black Movie Awards” (BMA)—an annual ceremony held to recognize achievements of black film actors and films that “stand out in their portrayal of Black experience.”

BMA

The BMA  was founded in 1997, with an inaugural event at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), which is a “four-day event dedicated to bringing awareness of entertainment content made by and about people of African descent to a worldwide audience.”

Once again, Lee seems to have no trouble at all with all these blacks-only and whites-not-allowed/welcome organizations—but seems to have a serious problem with Hollywood, which has—for the first time in many years—not nominated a black actor or film producer for an Oscar.

For her part, Pinkett Smith also has a long history of blacks-only activism: in 1997, she was emcee of the black “Million Woman March” protest march in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Speakers at the event included Winnie Mandela (a convicted kidnapper and fraudster whose criminal activities were so numerous that Nelson Mandela divorced her to distance himself from her), Pinkett Smith, and Attallah and Ilyasah Shabazz (the daughters of infamous anti-white racist Malcolm X).

Like Lee, Pinkett Smith seems not to have any problem with gatherings when they are for blacks only.

This hypocrisy is not limited to the acting world, however.

No one, for example, complains about the blacks-only Black Entertainment Television (BET), a cable and satellite television channel (owned by the BET Networks division of Viacom) which specifically targets black audiences—and exclusively uses black actors, producers, directors etc.—such as Pinkett Smith and Lee.

Also, no one seems to object to the National Black Farmers Association, the National Black Law Students Association, the National Black MBA Association, the National Black Nurses Association, the National Black Police Association, the National Conference of Black Lawyers, the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers, the National Organization of Black Women in Law Enforcement, the National Society of Black Engineers, the National Association for Black Veterans, the National Association of Black Accountants, the National Association of Black Geologists and Geophysicists, the National Association of Black Journalists, the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice, the National Bar Association, the National Black Chamber of Commerce,  the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Action Network, the National Afro-American League, the National Alliance of Black School Educators, the National Black Justice Coalition, the Miss Black America competition, the Miss Black USA competition, and many, many more, too numerous to name here.

This list does not even address the equal number of Hispanic only organizations, Asian only organizations, American-Indian organizations, etc., all of which are formed exclusively on a racial basis.

Of course, if any white person had dared to form even one of these organizations listed above, and called it, for example, the “National Association of Whites in Criminal Justice,” the controlled media—and doubtless people like Pinkett-Smith and Lee—would have been among the first to attack them as “racists.”

Yet the double standard to which all white people are held, still reigns supreme: all ethnic groups are allowed to organize on racial grounds—except whites.

The fake flare-up over the Oscars is but one more symptom of this knee-jerk—and controlled media endorsed—anti-white campaign.
