So the 88th Annual Academy
Awards were on last night. And as usual, they were filled with controversy
because many black actors/actresses felt they were victims of racism because no
black actors were nominated this year. And certainly many people have jumped
onto this bandwagon, because that has become the most popular thing…find a
cause of injustice and jump on it and rife it till it ends and then you jump to
the next one.
Is there racism in Hollywood? Probably.
Racism exists everywhere, why wouldn’t it show its ugly head here? Was there
racism here? I don’t know. Or I can’t say. Because racism is an individual
belief that manifests in ugly behavior, whether alone or in a lynch mob. I
think what most likely happened is this: With the advent of digital cameras and
less money needed to make a feature film, there were literally hundreds of
films to watch and consider.
