He should be spending this "spare" time getting his taxes in order.. April 15 is coming up... but I am sure he is going to stiff America for a 4th year straight. deadbeat, tax cheat. what a solid leader he is!!. What a role model!! Yep. A racist tax cheat and shakedown artist. Seems to me he's been the perfect role model for many black liberals.... including Obozo and Holder |

Al Sharpton Calls For Emergency Meeting To Address 'Appalling' All-White Oscar Nominees The Rev. Al Sharpton was left fuming mad after the Oscars revealed its all-white list of nominees for this year's Oscar awards on Thursday. "The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets," Sharpton quipped in a statement released later in the afternoon. Sharpton, a critic of the lack of diversity in Hollywood, also announced he was holding an "emergency meeting" next week to address the issue. "I have called an emergency meeting early next week in Hollywood with the task force to discuss possible action around the Academy Awards," he said. The prestigious awards ceremony was widely criticized after its nominees for best actor, best actress, and best director were all white. In the past two decades this has happened only one other time, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sharpton praised the Oscars for nominating the civil-rights film "Selma" for best picture, but said it was "ironic" because the film is based on Dr. Martin Luther King's marches. Said Sharpton: "The lack of diversity in today's Oscar nominations is appalling and while it is good that Selma was nominated for 'Best Picture,' it's ironic that they nominated a story about the racial shutout around voting while there is a racial shutout around the Oscar nominations. With all of the talent in Selma and other Black movies this year, it is hard to believe that we have less diversity in the nominations today than in recent history." Lack of diversity? Really? Some of the highest paid actors in Hollywood are African American same with television actors....... Just to name a couple Will Smith(who wont take on a movie roll for anything less then $30 million plus a portion of the box office), Shemar Moore (a six figure salary per episode of Criminal Minds), ICE T (six figures per episode of Law and Order SVU), Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Marlon Wayans, Samuel L. Jackson etc. |

Jackson etc. You forgot Mr $650M Cosby. I also notice when at the hospital and watching the TV in the waiting rooms that almost every commercial blacks are represented.....and there are more commercials than programming! As the article stated, it's simply another shakedown by the self-gradising Not-So-Sharpton to promote is own profiteering agenda and interests on the backs of poor black people. A Charlton in the truest sense of the word! |

Jackson etc. when is the last time any of the movie actors were in a film? and when was the last time they were given RECOGNITION By the academy for the films they were in? ,,,,Tyler Perry is one of the highest paid BLACK DIRECTORS< but that still doesn't erase the fact that he is the EXCEPTION and that there is very little representation in the major picture of black directors the issues of PAY and diversity are two different things |
