The entire #Oscarissowhite whine is racist, entitled and stupid. And speaking of racist, entitled and stupid... the Congressional Black Caucus.
Two congressmen are jumping in to the Oscars diversity controversy by formally asking the Academy to ensure that a pledge to increase minority membership is not "a false step."
House Judiciary Ranking Member John Conyers (D-Mich.) and House Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law Ranking Member Hank Johnson wrote Isaacs on Wednesday, stressing that "the Academy can play a crucial role in promoting and recognizing diverse voices throughout Hollywood."
"We share in your disappointment that for the second year running, there are no African American nominees in any major category. The recent announcement that some of Hollywood’s biggest stars will boycott the 2016 Academy Awards tells us that the time to confront this issue is now," the congressmen wrote.
Hank Johnson became famous when he claimed too many people on Guam would cause it to tip over. John Conyers' wife is a criminal. Or is that ex-wife?
Maybe we can just give Hank Johnson an Oscar for best actor in a real life political comedy.
