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?
