Or you don't get out enough.

Is there a "lol" type abbreviation for "sardonic laughter out loud"?

lol

No. This article is about black women. It talks only about black actresses. It is not supposed to be inclusive, nor does it have any obligation to be. It just happens to note at the end that it would be nice to see other women of color represented as well.

Lol. Did you ever read the OP? Do you even know what the subject of this thread is about? Dude/Lady, you seriously loose at the internet today. No one is arguing the merits of your point. But this is not the place for it.

So . . . you basically don't have a point that contributes anything to the substance of this thread. Ok then. You are entitled to that opinion, but this isn't really the place for it. If you don't care about or respect the show, why would you waste your breath arguing about why it shouldn't include POCs?

So if "Downton is a fairy story," why do you take issue with POCs being included in the fairy story?

But Ninja, that is irrelevant to my argument. I could care less about what movies get nominated for the Oscars. This is a discussion about race and the Oscars. My point is that if "only serious movies win Oscars" (direct quote from your last post), then you can't attribute the fact that a non-serious black movie…

Also, just because you are a member of an ethnic minority, doesn't mean you can't hold views that reflect what has come to be termed "white feminist" thought. You raise a good point, that race is seen as a binary in this country, and often we mean "non black" or "non white" instead of "white" and "black." But I…

Actually, he didn't say "what about Asians?"

Boom! *drop mic*

You keep talking about the fact that you don't like that only serious movies get Oscars. that's fine. You know what, I even agree! But that is not relevant to this argument for reasons that I've stated, but which aren't getting through to you.

What I am saying is that it is feedback loop in which serious movies get awarded, so then people who want awards think they have to make serious movies.

Yeah totally, but the author of this article is black.

We don't disagree. As I said above, I don't think the author was actually advocating for the Best Man to win an Oscar either. I just think the intro clumsily alluded to it. That's all.

Andana, I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm saying that of course I'm interested in different plights. I even articulated that I express my interest by seeking out blogs focused on the issues of other ethnic groups.

I'm confused. Are these allegedly examples of non serious movies? With the exception of Toy Story, all these movies have ten thousand times the gravity of a fluff piece like Best Man Holiday. And you know it. Come on now nappyhead. I agree 100% that black actors and movies aren't given their due. But imma be mad…

Lol. So your argument is that there was, in fact, a historical precedent for integrating a black person as a long term member of the cast (which you were aware of), but you still think it would've been a stretch to integrate a black person as a long term member of the cast? GTFO.

Maybe you should figure out the difference between a normative statement and a positive statement. I said that, as a positive matter, the Oscars are given to serious movies. You might object to that fact. Hell, I might object to that fact, but that's how the world is currently. That being the case, if a black…

Oh sure. Totally. Like I said, I'm the biggest rah rah advocate for blacks being better represented in Hollywood. My only complaint is with the particular list of movies which the author opened with.
