Case in point, Abigail Breslin was nominated for supporting actress for Little Miss Sunshine a few years ago, she was just a year or two older, and nobody made creepy jokes about her, put her down for being confident, or called her a cunt. And all of you who insist that it's not because she's black, because you…

New Orleans is my hometown. I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of Quvenzhané. Those who have never been here just can't understand what it means to be from there and to live there post-Katrina. You're right about how deeply we feel and show our love for each other down here. Being from the American South,…

I was in shock after reading that tweet. And it's awful that this little girl has to see so many people tearing her down when she just made a HUGE achievement. Do people even think what it's going to do to a child's development when they call her something like that?? And now people are freaking out because they don't…

I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild and was blown away by her performance. When I later saw interviews with Ms. Wallis, my impression is that she's level-headed and self-assured. She never came across as bratty or full of herself.

She's NINE YEARS OLD. How the fuck is she "supposed" to act? Is there a book or a DVD? Because WeePiglet is creeping up on 7 years old and if there is a standard of decorum for a nine-year-old who has been nominated for an Academy Award, we should probably have a look at it so she doesn't act all "full of herself"…

Yeah. It's the same reaction people had to Jaden Smith when he was promoting the Karate Kid. I've never seen commentors have this reaction to a white child actor.

Plus, we were ALL obnoxious to some degree at 9.

Hey, good idea, let's play the "I'm not racist, but..." game! Fun for the whole family.

Bratty means impolite and unruly. Name one occasion where she has been either of those. She is not egotistical. She is confidant. Why is it wrong for a little girl who is in a high pressure situation to be confidant? She get's insults and criticism hurled at her every day. She doesn't deserve her adulation because she…

Because she didn't raise the roof was which a signature move in the movie. lol if people would have seen the movie they would have kept their mouths shut. Poor girl. This is why the internet is the devil. Demonizing a poor 9 year old girl's reaction. Lord help us all. lol

How can you decide to dislike a child for so long. She is a baby. All she does is based on influences of those around her. "Colorblind" or not - the existence of which being debatable - how can you feel so strongly against a child you don't even know? Its just not right. A little girl in the midst of a publicity…

The worst thing is that Seth MacFarlane, and the asshole at the Onion who came up with that shit are just perpetuating the idea that you are oversensitive and if we can't just laugh at their jokes, and accept that some people just honestly un-racistly think that she needs to learn some humility then we are making…

So, you're not a racist, just a sad misanthrope. Thanks for clarifying!

LeVar Burton said it best "if they called Suri Cruise a cunt, best believe that by MORNING, the entire staff of @theonion would be at unemployment"

BINGO. ETA, I think this is exactly what I can attribute any success I've had in life to.

It's the same as saying "I have a friend that's (insert race here)". Whatever they say is for the birds at this point.

It seems that we only like black people when they act like white people.

Go back to Amish town, where children are seen and not heard. Heaven forbid a child actually be a child.

Wow please never have children you crusher of spirits and joy.

Yes, how dare a 9 year old girl (who is only the 10th black person to receive a best actress nomination in the 85 year history of the Academy Awards) be proud of herself and express her excitement!
