Niggers So Dumb.

Last Thursday (14/1/16) the nominations for the 2016 American Motion Picture Association awards - the Oscars - were announced.

As surely as night follows day this has prompted black America to thrown a tantrum for not being given an award simply for turning up.

The campaign has been led by Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett-Smith both of whom have announced they won't be attending the ceremony although it's not clear they were even invited.

As such I think it is only appropriate to take a quick look at some of the actors/movies that the protesters claim have been overlooked due to racism;

Idris Elba: The self-appointed "Greatest Actor the World Has Ever Seen" had been expecting to be nominated for his performance in "Beasts of No Nation." Although done well and on a high budget this is TV movie and therefore not eligible for Oscar nomination.

Amazon who produced it did have the option of giving it a full cinema release but opted not to. Instead they decided to hold it back to promote their own Amazon Prime platform at the expense of the American Motion Picture Association. Amazon then gave it an extremely limited cinema release in the hope of receiving awards for this stab in the back to the industry.

Perhaps if Mr Elba spent more time focused on his craft rather than on endless self-promotion he wouldn't have associated himself with such a project.

Micheal B Jordan: He had been expecting to be nominated for his debut performance in "Creed." This is of course the year that Leonardo DiCaprio is widely tipped to win his first Oscar in a 25 year career which has seen him appear in many critically acclaimed movies such as "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," "Titanic," "Gangs of New York," "The Departed" and "Inception."

Creed is of course the 6th instalment in the "Rocky" franchise. Although the original film and the 5th instalment "Rocky Balboa" have some redeeming qualities these films have always concentrated on mainstream appeal rather than artistic excellence.

Sylvester Stallone did receive a supporting actor nomination for Creed. However this seems to be more to reflect a 45 year career in which he's always been consistently good rather than excellent. He won't win.

Will Smith: Many of you will be shocked to learn that Jada Pinkett-Smith's husband has even been in a film this year. However she clearly expected him to be nominated for "Concussion." This was really only released in the US because being about concussion in American Football very few people outside of America are even remotely interested.

The tiny minority of reviewers who have seen Concussion all say the same thing. It was utterly ruined by a needless racial narrative which saw Smith as the black hero trying to save young black men from the white devils at the NFL who force them to injure themselves like plantation slaves.

Samuel L Jackson: Although I happen to think he's better than that people have asked why Mr Jackson wasn't nominated for snowbound western "The Hateful Eight."

The big film of this year is DiCaprio's "The Reverent" which is a snowbound western. The Hateful Eight is seen simply as an exploitative attempt to cash in of The Reverent's success. Mr Jackson is of course a big fan of cartoons and comic books and his acting frequently reflects this.

Straight Outta Compton: If there was an Oscar for most over-hyped film of the year this would win easily. Basically in the early-1990's there were a lot of fans of a rap group called "NWA." This nostalgic biopic of the band has got all those fans so excited no-one's bothered to consider its merits as a film.

In terms of the Oscars is made the same fatal mistake that "Selma" did in attempting to re-write history. At the time the movie was set one of the central characters "Dr Dre" was an extremely violent misogynist who beat the crap out of at least two women. However the movie does not mention that at all.

With the way Hollywood treats women also being a hot button issue there is no coming back from that.

Spike Lee: Again some of you will be shocked to learn that Mr Lee has worked since the early-1990's. However this year he directed a film called "Chi-raq." This is simply a re-hash of the "Aristophanes" play "Lysistrata" which was first released in 427BC.

Dozens of new productions of this play have been put on every year for the past 2,700 years. If you want acclaim for simply re-telling a story that old you are going to have to do something absolutely amazing. Mr Lee simply hasn't. Even residents of Chicago have condemned it for mocking a serious issue, relying on racist stereotypes and have compared it to the nasty Black-exploitation movies of the 1970's.

Although it can be easily confused with a very famous French President the title "Chi-raq" is a combination of "Chicago" and "Iraq." This is a reference to the fact that due to black-on-black violence more American citizens are killed in just one district of Chicago every year than the US' 8-year occupation of Iraq.

You would think that being familiar with that fact Mr Lee would have something more insightful to say about Black America's entitlement culture.
