Snipes is underrated.
Gooding Jr. Is overrated and his greed hurt him
Howard can't act and his voice in annoying.
Cheadle is one of our greatest actors. Right there
with Denzel
Fishburn, we can always count on him making a poor film interesting
My favorite black actor? Angela Bassett!! I also like Jeffrey Wright!
I have no explanation as to why the 12% doesn't get more work. I'm just not familiar with the industry's politics.

I started a thread on Brexit and the pound and said it would affect fuel. Point made.
No you didn't make your point which is why the 3 page back and forth ended with this:
http://oi64.tinypic.com/rwmfwk.jpg
You never went back to respond to that poster and failed to make your point. Just like you failed in this thread.
Neither have I.
Yes you did. Ran, skip, or jump whatever you want to call it - you were getting dragged on like the link below shows and you folded.
I started a thread on Brexit and the pound and said it would affect fuel.
I know you started it - which is why it's even more embarrassing that you ran from your own thread. Are you always that submissive? Do you always run when confronted?
Point made.
No it really wasn't as you never responded to this:

I am not from the UK and do not live in the UK.
Yes. You are an islander who thinks they know more about American racism in the American movie industry than actual Americans.
You are coward
I never ran from a poster - like you did.
I never ran from a thread that I started - like you did.
You started two different threads and got dragged by several people and called out for being a troll with this post:
http://oi64.tinypic.com/rwmfwk.jpg
Wow. Sexist and racist.
One) the island known as the UK is not a race
Two) Since you live on said island you - why are you do concerned about American racism in regards to American Award Shows and think you know more about said subjects than actual Americans in Hollywood do? other than your obvious trolling
Three) Even your own country-men/woman think you're a joke and stated as such LOL
You tucked your tail in-between your legs and left the thread that you started when several people said the non-sense that you were posting was not accurate. You're a gutless spineless poser who got scared and never came back when called out.
You do not provide proof the the nominations were decided by racism.
Another strawman response since this is your original argument:
Spike Lee
is upset because of a lack of Oscar nominations for black people this year. Diverse casting would not satisfy him. He seems to believe an Oscar ceremony without nominations for black people must be due to racism.
That's an assumption he can't back up with proof.
And, his assumption can be backed up with proof outlined as seen in this thread - which directly contradicts your above statement. However, since you not even an American and live on an island a thousand miles away you probably are not able to understand the proof that has been laid out by myself and other Americans such as Dustin Hoffman and Spike Lee. Strange that you are obsessed with an American Award show when you don't even reside in this country. I think it's more that you're just a troll as even your fellow countryman pointed out here in this post:

Then it should be easy for you to sho5b4w just one instance of my supposed racism,
You accuse me of being racist yet every time I ask you to show one thing I have said that proves I am racist you simply refuse to do so. Anyone reading this can see what you are.
Then it should be easy for you to provide one example.
Your racism has been shown throughout this thread - where you continue to deny the facts via numerous studies, the actors, and professionals who have studied this issue and racism as whole. You laugh at and mock their findings. That shows that you have deep seated racism at the core of your existence. Racism is mental illness and I think you have more issues than just racism you need to overcome. Anyone reading can see that you are not only a racist but also need professional help - since you have trouble grasping the reality set-forth in this thread.
Anyway, more strawman to deflect from the issue that you are in fact a racist and have been proven wrong on this matter.
It's been proven in this post that nominations have a racial bias along with your own racism being proven in this thread. This thread shows how bitter you are about racial equality. There's still hope for you to change your prejudice ways. See below

You obviously wish to have the last post, so I will grant your wish if you are unable to say something new.
Nothing New Under the Sun (also, Seen it all before, "Plus a change, plus c'est la mme chose.") Fairly rare in contemporary discourse, this deeply cynical fallacy, a corruption of the argument from logos, falsely proposes that there is not and has never been any real novelty in this world,. Any argument that there are truly new ideas or phenomena is judged a priori to be unworthy of serious discussion and dismissed with a sigh and a wave of the hand as "the same old same old." E.g., [Sigh!] Idiots! Don't you see that the current influx of refugees from the Mideast is just the same old Muslim invasion of Europe thats been going on for 1,500 years? Or, Libertarianism is nothing but anarchism, which, in turn, is nothing but the ancient Antinomian Heresy. Like I told you before, there's nothing new under the sun!

That's an assumption he can't back up with proof.
You said it was an assumption that could not be backed up with proof - yet his assumption can be backed up with proof which has been shown throughout this thread and post.
Are you really so stupid
You sound upset.
Is it because you have been shown the error of your ways? Because Spike Lee's position has been proven and yours debunked? Or, is it because you have been exposed for being a racist?
Not this one:
You are obviously too cowardly to answer that question.
Or are you just too cowardly to answer?
That's not your original claim. Your original claim which has been outlined through this exchange has been answered
(see the bold below)
.
Again with the fallacies. All you questions have been answered
especially your original assertion which is the topic at hand
:
Spike Lee
is upset because of a lack of Oscar nominations for black people this year. Diverse casting would not satisfy him. He seems to believe an Oscar ceremony without nominations for black people must be due to racism.
That's an assumption he can't back up with proof.
Your original concern was that Mr. was making an assumption without proof - the proof is in this thread. It outlines and provides factual information that there is a racial bias in nominations - please stay on topic.
All you have done is accuse me of being a racist.
Racist and a troll who can't admit that they were wrong even in the face of proof. You would argue that the world in flat and the sky not blue just to not admit to being wrong. Something is clearly mentally not quite right with you - to continue this trolling for six plus months - on a less than a year old account.
Anyhow, see below:
Before we start I want to point out that this is you using a fallacy that has nothing to do with your original argument :
In other words you can't deny that pointing out that a group is mostly white does not prove said group is racist.
You want to say that the Academy being mostly white proves it is racist. Pointing out that a group is mostly white
Straw Man (also "The Straw Person" ""The Straw Figure"): The fallacy of setting up a phony, weak or ridiculous parody of an opponent's argument and then proceeding to knock it down with a wave of the hand. E.g., "Vegetarians say animals have feelings like you and me. Ever seen a cow laugh at a Shakespeare comedy? Vegetarianism is nonsense!" Or, "Pro-choicers hate babies!" Or, "Pro-lifers hate women and want them to spend their lives barefoot, pregnant and chained to the kitchen stove!" This fallacy is only too common in American politics and popular discourse.
And has NOTHING to do with your original gripe against Lee as outlined here:

He does no one any favors by such an inarticulate position. I respect his artistry, but he has become a caricature of himself.
Where do those articles say those deciding the nominations did so by racism?
I am asking you where those articles say those deciding the nominations did so by racism.
I ask for proof that the nominations were decided by racism.
You simply can't show those deciding the nominations did so by racism can you?
Your "proof" includes an article that says whitewashing does not occur due to the Academy. In your strange mind this proves those deciding the nominations did so by racism.
The only strange mind is you dear - since you continue to embarrass yourself to anyone reading. You have brought nothing to prove anything are up against several studies, actors, and professionals more mentally equipped than you btw - that all back up Mr. Lee's assertion.
There's something not mentally right with you - it's quite scary how out of touch with reality you are - you need help.
My position is that you cannot prove those deciding the nominations did so by racism. So far, you have not shown my position to be wrong.
Anyway, the proof is below - please proceed.

What error?
Because Spike Lee's position has been proven and yours debunked?
My position is that you cannot prove those deciding the nominations did so by racism. So far, you have not shown my position to be wrong.
Or, is it because you have been exposed for being a racist?
All you have done is accuse me of being a racist. You never provide proof of your accusation. The reason being that you have none.
