I hardly watch any award shows from the Oscars to the BET awards to the Grammy's. They don't showcase the right talent on my estimation whether they are black, white, Asian, Hispanic or any other race or culture.
Here's where the problem lies with black celebrities calling for a boycott of the Oscars, why haven't you banded together to start your own awards show for blacks? The NAACP and BET awards aren't enough. The Screen Actors Guild(SAG) doesn't do enough. A boycott isn't enough. Start putting all that money you made where your art is. There is plenty of talent among producers, directors, actors/actresses and musicians to put together and awards show for blacks and those of our kind to be successful.
There are plenty of venues around the country where enough of our kind can come together without fighting and guns ablazing for a good time to present and honor those in the film and television.
It's long overdue as Hollywood keeps overlooking us. An award here and there to Taraji or Viola isn't getting us anywhere.
We deserve our own. Someone needs to step up and say enough is enough and out this together. When do they become motivated, ambitious and determined to say we can do this for our art and for the fans that love them?
