BRAVO TO CHRIS ROCK

“Why are we protesting ​this​ Oscars? It's the 88th Academy Awards—which means this whole no black nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times. You gotta figure it happened in the 50s in the 60s. You know in the 60s one of those years Sidney Poitier didn't put out a movie. And black people didn't protest. We were too busy having actual things to protest. We were too busy getting raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer. When your grandma is swinging from a tree, it's hard to care about best foreign short.”
