No, George Clooney, the Oscars aren’t racist
No blacks were nominated for acting Oscars this year, or last year. But the membership of the AMPAS doesn’t change much from year to year. Is Clooney saying that the same people who were not racist when they gave the Best Picture Oscar to “12 Years a Slave” turned racist 10 months later for some reason when they “snubbed” Ava DuVernay by not nominating her for Best Director for “Selma”?
Actually, I believe that Jada Pinkett Smith and her homies are claiming that a certain amount of Oscars ought to be set aside for blacks whether they are meritorious or not. For shame.
