The Oscars: Hoisted By Their Own Petard

This whole thing about the Oscars being racist has been a joy to watch. This is liberal on liberal crime of the highest order and it’s hilarious to watch them stumble and spew and sputter all over each other. Here are some of the more entertaining and interesting moments.

This whole debate about the Oscars began when Jade Pinkett decided she was going to boycott the Oscars because her husband didn’t get nominated for his flop Concussion because she discovered that no black people were nominated for any of the high visibility awards – there are blacks and Hispanics nominated for lower profile awards.

This quickly spread to three or four other race obsessed liberals, and soon the Academy was surrendering and asking to be punished. Well, here are a couple things to realize:

Nothing But Liberals: Make no mistake, all these people who are pointing the accusing finger of racism are smug liberals. What’s more, they are pointing their accusing fingers at people who are themselves smug, progressive liberals who assume they are incapable of being racist. This is all liberal on liberal, and that’s awesome. Indeed, it’s made all the more awesome that these liberals assume that they can’t be racist but everyone else is inherently racist. snicker snicker

Even worse, this would have been avoided if they weren’t all liberals. Why? Because everyone else in America knows that if you’re going to select a group of anything, you need some token minorities or you will be burned in effigy for being a racist by these same liberals. Hence, it is ironically hilarious that these liberals failed to do that.

This is exactly like catching a televangelist snorting coke with a naked, underage male prostitute.

Failed Excuse - Let’s Be Rational: Equally ironically, these same intolerant liberals who would never accept any explanation other than an admission of racism have tried to offer various justifications. A couple Brits, including Charlotte Rampling and Michael Caine have tried to point out that the current crop of black films simply aren’t deserving. As if these same liberals would accept IBM saying, “Well, we just couldn’t find any qualified black people.” No, that doesn’t wash with liberals.

Failed Excuse - I Have Black Friends: Steven Spielberg came out today and pointed out that the explanation can’t be racism because a couple years back the Oscars did nominate a black film or two. This is the equivalent of “I’ve had black friends” and liberals never accept this. To them, a charge of racism cannot be defused by showing a prior history which lacks racism.

Failed Excuse - Black People Said I Could: Stallone has tried to excuse his participation in this Hollywood Klan rally by claiming that he called the minority writer of his film Creed and volunteered to stay home if said brown person didn’t want him going. Fortunately for Stallone, his dark friend told him that he could go. Hence, he was forgiven in advance. LOL! Yeah, this one doesn’t work either. Many alleged racists have pointed out that they consulted minority advisors and were given the okay, but liberals don’t care. It’s your actions that matter, not your intentions (unless we’re talking about murder or selling drugs or earning respect through achievement... then only the intention they attribute to you matters).

Failed Excuse - We’re All Africans: One of the highlights has come from Meryl Streep, who first gained infamy for promoting junk science. In fact, the term “the Steeping of Science” became a thing because of this dingbat. Well, in the middle of all of it, Streep tried to defuse the situation by making the silly claim that “we’re all Africans originally.” LOL! Good one. This is like the unicorn fart version of “but I have black friends.” Indeed, if we accepted this bit of logic, then I can use the n-word because I’m technically black. What’s more, that pretty much means that claims of racism are false since we’re all black now. Nice try, Meryl.

I am loving the irony in all of this. Liberals did what most people do: they voted based on merit* and they failed to account for the whininess of black racial agitators who disdain merit for guaranteed representation. These agitators then attacked, which is where these same liberals usually jumped on the bandwagon. Once on the bandwagon, they typically shot down the very rational arguments these liberals now are advancing to defend themselves and they did so with utter smugness. The irony in that is delicious... this is Kafka-grade irony.

Finally, with the Oscars surrendering now, the deck will be stacked in favor of minorities in the future. Sadly for them, this raises the question of merit. Once everyone knows the deck is stacked, then any achievement thereafter becomes suspect: was it based on merit or was it an affirmative action vote? Hence, in solving this invented problem of Hollywood racism, the black racists and their liberal enablers will make it that much harder for minority talent to prove their merit through awards.


* I used the word merit, but I don’t think it was a merit vote. Looking at the nominees, I get the sense that the designated PC winner this year was going to be the transsexual film The Danish Girl. I would have guessed the film would have won eight or nine awards in a “stunning night.” But the black racist faction has upset this. I wonder if Hollywood will go through with this and give The Danish Girl their political stamp of approval or if this protest has disrupted that?

Thoughts?

Maybe instead of a "Danish Girl", the film should have been about a "Nigerian Tranny"? It would have checked several PC boxes, and would have been even more of a shoe-in for an Oscar.

AndrewPrice said...

Ok... that was brilliant! LOLOLOL!!!

Kit said...

Well, I don't think there are that many Nigerian transsexuals, considering how "uncool" the Africans are on homosexuality.

(What? Traditionalist societies tend to be traditionalist? Perish the thought!)

AndrewPrice said...

Kit, Nigeria may not be full of trannies, but it is full of finance ministers who need your help to bring $50 million into the country. Can you send me your bank account number and password?

Kit said...

I don't know, you don't exactly sound kosher...

AndrewPrice said...

Trust me. Once I get this money into the country, you can keep some of it! :)

Kit said...

I don't know. I have someone else who needs my help free a relative of his held in Spain and, if it works, I could get up to £70,000,000!

Kit said...

I might even snag that relative's daughter. :) :) :)

Patriot said...

Andrew......Many times I wonder if this insanity will ever end. Did you see the youtube of "triumph" the wonder dog hilariously skewering the oh so righteous and noble UNH freshmen on their ridiculous PC blather? It's worth the watch.
Maybe humor and ridicule is the answer to any and all of this crap.

BevfromNYC said...

Do ya'll ever get the feeling that we are in the midst of a national nervous breakdown? I blame it on the "transparency" of the interwebs.

EPorvaznik said...

Feh. Just look for more documentaries about slavery than the Holocaust.

BevfromNYC said...

EP - I think maybe even more docs/films/TV regaling the glory days of '60's radicalism and the positive effects of Stalinism and Maoism...and let's not forget the glory of Fidel's Cuba.

AndrewPrice said...

Patriot, Humor is always the best answer to the ridiculous. When you deal with people who aren't making a rational argument, but are instead "thinking" emotionally, humor is the only way to dismiss the argument without lending it credibility. It also adds the embarrassment factor, which will keep "the herd" from adopting it.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, I think we are in a period where people are incapable of differentiating between a tiny group of hypersensitive whiners and a genuine issue of public concern. The result is that the public seems like it's falling apart because the currents of what is important are being swayed by crazy whiners.

AndrewPrice said...

Eric, That's not the point. The point is that MY HUSBAND WASN'T NOMINATED FOR HIS OSCAR BAIT ROLE!!! Er, I mean, the point is that there is inherent racism within the evil white race.

tryanmax said...

Quentin Tarantino should respond to #OscarsSoWhite with a film about a bunch of angry black film stars plotting to blow up the Academy Awards just as the Best Picture is announced.

AndrewPrice said...

He could call it "The Whiny Three."

Anthony said...

Meh. This is Sad Puppies II. A talented, successful, rich but whiny celeb suckering a bunch of idiots into supporting his bid for one of the few signs of professional success he doesn't have.

AndrewPrice said...

Anthony, I see it as bigger than this. This strikes me as a huge moment actually. This is the moment that these elitist liberals, people who routinely lead the crusades against the accused discovered that they are not immune as they thought they were and in fact found themselves accused of a thoughtcrime when they knew they had never acted with any intent of committing said thoughtcrime.

I think this will lead to a pulling back, a redefining where the ability to presume guilt will no longer be allowed without more evidence of actual guilt.

It won't eliminate this or make the world safe for the unanointed, but it is likely to be first step back ever for the jihad.

EPorvaznik said...

Sorry, failed to mention the Smith family becomes the de facto narrators of the new glut of docs.

AndrewPrice said...

Eric, I'd like to see the three creeps who've been playing Colonel Sanders do the narration... but that might be a little provocative.

EPorvaznik said...

I will not participate in any hate perpetrated on Norm MacDonald.

AndrewPrice said...

I will. LOL! Or at least, at KFC. What a horrible idea to try to use actors to play a real person who died. And what an even worse idea to do it disrespectfully.

BevfromNYC said...

Yeah, Andrew, I don't know what KFC is thinking. BUT, Norm McDonald is world's better than Darrell Hammond! He was just a downright pedophile! How could KFC execs not see that?

Anthony said...

Andrew,

The big difference I see is that the Oscars caved which as you point out will taint future awards.

Patriot said...

Andrew...... :-)

"Jada: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!
Meryl: Bloody peasant!
Jada: Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see her repressing me? You saw her, didn't you?"

Perfect.......

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, I got the pedophile vibe from him too. From McDonald I just get the "mock the dead" vibe. The whole campaign is a bad idea.

AndrewPrice said...

Anthony, It will hurt with the public. That's the problem with things like affirmative action. It creates a stigma even for those who didn't need it.

AndrewPrice said...

Patriot, LOL! Nice Monty Python reference!

EPorvaznik said...

A lot can change in the next few hours -- plus I heard Earth, Wind & Fire were already set to perform, so that will likely morph into something above and beyond -- but with mega-in memoriam tributes announced for Bowie, Lemmy, and Frey, I expect and support grumbling if Natalie Cole and Maurice White aren't similarly honored at The Grammys.

EPorvaznik said...

While 100% simpatico re. Darrell Hammond, we're on totally different wavelength with Norm. Granted, I've always been a fan, but I see it as a fun homage to the Colonel, as only Norm's twisted deadpan can deliver.

Either way, though, eet mor chiken, and be thankful The Pentavirate doesn't seem to be in charge of the ad campaign!

BevfromNYC said...

OH NO! Jim Gilmore has suspended his campaign! Shocking! What will we do now?

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, I feel like I wasted me vote. Oh wait, I haven't voted yet.

AndrewPrice said...

Eric, They realize they have a problem, but they are blaming it on the actor(s) not the concept. It's a conceptual problem.

Koshcat said...

I'm not as optimistic as you, Andrew. Liberal are so smug they are never wrong so I guarantee they will somehow try to blame this all on Bush.

AndrewPrice said...

I've been looking for this number... according to Team Obama when they passed Obamacare, by 2016, 21 million people would sign up. This year, the number is 12.7 million -- yet they are declaring victory because it's "higher" than the 13 million expected.

So the reality is that Obamacare is running at 60% of the actual expectations. Hence, the problems it is having and why so many insurers are failing or dropping out.

AndrewPrice said...

Koshcat, It's true that they never learn, but being attacked personally may result in something different this time. I guess we'll see, but I get the feeling that the left is no longer taking "racism" claims any more seriously than the rest of America does.

Rustbelt said...

"This year, the number is 12.7 million -- yet they are declaring victory because it's "higher" than the 13 million expected."

Now, THAT...is fuzzy math.

(Let the lefties' heads do a Linda Blair over that one! Ha!)

BevfromNYC said...

OMG! It just hit Twitter that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has died!

AndrewPrice said...

Wow! That's HUGE! That changes the court in a BIG way!

AndrewPrice said...

Rustbelt, When you're on the left, numbers are fungible depending on the point you are trying to prove.

BevfromNYC said...

If Ginsberg chooses to retire now, then we are screwed...

BevfromNYC said...

This election cycle just went from crazy stupid to THE most important election of our lifetime.

AndrewPrice said...

Bev, This has always been my fear. This is a country changing event. This the fault of everyone who failed to turn out in 2012 and support Romney.

Kit said...

Banging. Head. Against. Wall.

ScottDS said...

While I disagreed with the man more often than not, I could still appreciate the intellect at work.

And this election just became even more of a shit show!

Kit said...

It's good to remember in this time of partisan divisiveness that Scalia was a close friend of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Anthony said...

Shame about Scalia. He was articulate and passionate.

Anthony said...

The Republican debate seems to have been interesting. If some told me a year ago the most popular Republican would state Bush lied people died and talk up the benefits of Planned Parenthood...

BevfromNYC said...

Anthony, SC IS 75+% in support of GWB still. Let's hope this does a lot of damage for Trump. He needs to go now. This just got to serious to humor an egomaniac, self-centered reality show candidate.

BevfromNYC said...

BTW, Happy Valentines Day! Hug your loved ones...

Kit said...

Bev,

75%, well, that leaves about 25%, which happens to be Trump's level of support inside the GOP...

Tennessee Jed said...

This was great stuff. Laughed my ass off .... And some of my best friends are black!
