Aw, how cute. The blacks finally made their own version of the Academy Awards. Too bad no one will give a fuck about it.
speak for yourself
Lmfao! Seriously. Only r@ce who’s selfish enough to make EVERYTHING about themselves? Heads up bl@ck people there are more r@ces in N. America other than yourselves, shitheads! You selfish pricks always whine about everything
He’s got my vote!
lol @ the categories but besides that it a lil bit sad cuz it divides the ppl into groups. Russell Simmons created the awards show in response to the “stunning lack of diversity” in Hollywood but did actually the same mistake…
this is stupid. I see what Russell was trying to do but this is almost like a parody of the Oscars…it should be a high quality, eloquette, intimate, professional celebration amongst hollywoods finest actors/actresses…using the lesser well know rock brother is setting the tone for a lesser impactful award show…and they should have professional categories if they ever want these awards to be on the same status as academy awards.
ok ok I undastand, but best picture…Beasts of No Nation
You can’t say you’re fighting a lack of diversity by being completely devoid of diversity yourself.
If you had a couple Asians, a few Latinos and maybe a Muslim and a White dude, I’d be sold.
This is just the All Black Awards. Meh.
He sat through this awards show tho right? shameless
Now they have chimp awards for colored folk, how cute LMAO
