    The nominations were announced & someone noticed that no blacks were nominated for a best actor award. Al Sharpton referred to this latest story a "Racial shutout".

    This shit is just never going to end.

    However, the usual annual quasi-documentary movie (Selma) about African Americans being mistreated and persecuted by the wicked white man of America is showing in theaters.
    Just to keep some animosity and bad feelings alive and well.
    After all, America needs to have it constantly on it's mind....…
    ....know what i mean?

    Yeah I'm sure it was done intentionally. Did I mention that Selma was nominated for Best picture?

    Maybe non blacks should get pissed off for..................................

    A TV show called....."Blackish"

    The "United negro college fund"

    An entire network called (BET) "Black entertainment television".

    I mean can you just imagine the protests for a TV show called "Whiteish"? The "United caucasian college fund". Or "White entertainment television".


    Just fucking ridiculous.

    The state of the black family was better off during segregation in many areas. Only 20% of blacks were born to single mothers in the 50s, now its 75%.

    They can vote now, but keep electing folks that enslave them without the reminder of the chains. This isn't what Selma was about. Dr. King would be ashamed.

    I've always liked this quote:

    This society's deprivation depends not on our differences but the separation within.

    Unfortunately this can be misinterpreted. Some use this as a social justice crutch, but to me the answer is actually quite simple. Diversity isn't the issue with society today, the issue is how isolated and compartmentalized each group wants to be. Best summed up by Neil Peart:

    When the ebbing tide retreats
    Along the rocky shoreline
    It leaves a trail of tidal pools
    In a short-lived galaxy
    Each microcosmic planet
    A complete society

    A simple kind mirror
    To reflect upon our own
    All the busy little creatures
    Chasing out their destinies
    Living in their pools
    They soon forget about the sea...

    "The Ghost Rider" and his Drum Set......:drumroll: (Rush)


    Indeed, MLK would puke with Sharpton, Jackson, even Obuma's antics, and agenda's of racial discord and hate... let alone demanding "Dead Cops", that's utterly sick.

    There will be no justice in the US, until Sharpton goes behind bars for life, for enticing inciting riots. Climbing on his wooden horse, demanding justice in the form of an eye for an eye. The dumb bastard is too ignorant to see he's not only wrong.

    Gandhi said: "If society lived by an eye for an eye mentality, the World would be blind, or at best Half Blind....!

    The bolded quote is from Linkin Park with Chali on Forgotten, the Reanimator album.

    The rest is as Ron says, Rush "Natural Science" off of Permanent Waves.

    That was my reaction Steve. What one has to do with the other is a mystery to me.
