Watched Cheryl Boone Isaacs speak on the steps the academy is taking to ensure that the Oscars are more representative of the world in which we live. I couldn’t help but think that once again Blacks stick their necks out, all POC benefit. But yet some are on this board complaining that Chris Rock’s Black self didn’t…

It’s even more limiting when there is only one group putting themselves out there thus bearing the brunt of the social and political backlash. I don’t recall typing that each person should only fight for the group to which he/she belongs. I absolutely agree that we (all minorities) would benefit if we rallied around…

But Chris Rock is black, which is why he spoke of the black experience in Hollywood. Why are blacks expected to do the heavy lifting while other minority groups benefit from our activism then remain silent when it really counts?
