Seriously. Judges, jury, psychologists, and executioners.

While she’s got problems for is fucked up... doesn’t he hold primary responsibility for the deed? Or are we no longer responsible for our own actions anymore?

Have you ever had an ex threaten to commit suicide unless you submitted to whatever form of blackmail they demanded? It’s a terrifying experience.

This could set a dangerous precedent.

What do you expect them (white people) to do? This site has been a shining example of tearing apart any white person who has tried to comment on diversity or equality. Some people have made dumb comments, but even the ones who have not, have had their words parsed to the nth degree and been torn to pieces. You’d have…

lol yep. Love how white gay guys can act like they are honorary black guys.

What exactly were you hoping for? Each and every white actor in the audience to light fire to the auditorium, screaming DOWN WITH THE WHITE MAN! FUCK THE OSCARS!

Seriously, did you REALLY want to hear every white actor and actress on-stage address this? Would 50-60 on-stage acceptances, all dripping with…

As some other have said, asking white people about race issues often appears to be a lose/lose position. It can come across insincere, patronizing, pandering, ignorant, or wrong, despite the interviewees intentions.

Ya, I agree that white Hollywood has to answer for the lack of diversity. They can do this by making the choice to not participate in whitewashing, take projects supporting diversity, and when in the position to make hiring decisions make sure that they cast a wide net so all possible candidates are considered not…

Just a small point about statistics:

African American’s make up around 14% of the American Population.

If the ratio of white A-listers to black A-listers during the pre-show was 4:1, then that means 20% were black. Statistically speaking, thats not that weird or indicative of anything systematic.

“That’s one of the ways racism manifests. White people are never part of the conversation”

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is made up of less than 5, 800 members. Yet, the entire country seems to be blamed for their actions. Obviously, our country has a long, long way to go towards any kind of equality. It’s disgusting how far we have to go. I’m just tired of pretending Hollywood represents…

What did black people talk about when Chris Rock brought up the Academy “accountants”? Or when a black man makes fun of a race that is even MORE underrepresented than his own is it cool?

Chris Rock is incredibly funny. He’s also had a long history of telling jokes that are racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. And now? He’s showing a lot of cracks, in that he’s kind of dumb.

You could have shown the reaction shot from the Gawker writer’s room.

so outnumbered 4-1? So 20% shown in the pre-show were black, while black people make up ~14% of the US population. Seems like they were accurately and fairly represented in the pre-show. Certainly can argue there should be more of other ethnic groups, but complaining that black people only got 20% of the pre-show…

White Man writes about White People like he ain’t white... Rich - just because you suck a dick or take it up the poop, doesn’t mean you aint as white and as privileged as any other Gawker writer privileged cunt in Hollywood...

I think they should have laughed a little more that one time, and not laughed that other time.

Can we get a condensed clip of Asian people reacting to the jokes at the Oscars as well?
