people post and respond to posts it helps to be specific in communication though what thoughts do you find 'quaint'? and what is the 'stuff' you are asking about? ‘Whiteness,' like ‘colour' and ‘Blackness,' are social constructs applied to human beings rather than veritable truths that have validity. msharmony  I came into the forum expecting to read personal views on Jada but mostly to read about the Oscars.
*I have no special knowledge in human colour tints. I am somewhat sheepish as I do not recognize colour. I had to do a Google to find worthwhile information on it “Whiteness,' like ‘colour' and ‘Blackness,' are social constructs applied to human beings rather than veritable truths that have validity”. I would quantify a hang-nail a better bases to rate a person. I just now stopped typing this and went into the kitchen to my large black stove. With a sheet of typing paper placed on the stove, I placed my arm across the paper. Guess What! haha! I’m no colour haha! not even close to the black stove or the white paper. * This is M2 so let me relate- If msharmony you receive a note from me asking about your culture, you have many avenues of response, work, family, history. If I ask what’s your colour or what nation are you from, both are dead ends. In a country like the U.S. there are many cultures maybe thousands, the vast majority have never been named or numbered. Some are healthy and some are not. How can unhealthy cultures be focused on if it is a colour problem. Yup! banks here (Canada) loan based on culture. * When I receive my colour tint chart based from 1 to 100, I will have the opportunity to say #$*&^ and 86 you!! I gotta have 69 haha! * Mingle2 as a leader should update Profiles with “culture relationships”. It is a long list but so much more interesting, and remove colour. All the M2 staff would be so busy dealing with all the free advertising.

The Oscar Racist Controversy: The Latest Example of American Idiocy
Posted on January 22, 2016 The latest self-conscious controversy orchestrated by preening, posing leftist “progressives” broke out after last week’s Oscar nominations — the second year in a row in which all 20 acting nominees are white. Charlotte Rampling is the latest actress to weigh in on the race row that has erupted over this year’s Academy Awards. Rampling, 69, who is nominated for the Best Actress Award for her role in “45 Years,” called the decision by some actors to boycott the Oscars “anti-white racism.” “Maybe this time, no black actor or actress deserved to make it to the final selection,” she said during an interview on French radio station Europe 1. “Why should we always categorize people? I think nowadays we are living in easily offended societies. There will always be someone who’s too beautiful, too black or not white enough.” You think? Rampling gets to the heart of the matter. It’s perfectly fine to categorize people by race, gender, or any other objective classification – when it’s relevant. Acting has nothing whatsoever to do with race. It has everything to do with acting. The same applies to script writing, special effects, music and the various other categories comprising the Oscars. The attempt to smear winners of this year’s nominations for Academy Awards with “racism” is actually racism itself. When you arbitrarily elevate the factor of race over and above other factors, you’re engaging in racism, by definition. To understand why, consider the polar opposite of racism: individualism. Individualism is where you make the attributes of character first and foremost, while racism is where you make the attribute of skin color or racial origin the central priority. Racist, socially conscious leftists started this fight; not anybody else. They are always the ones who start it. Notice the methodology of those who smear those who wish to attend or view the Oscars with the charge of racism. Once upon a time, a charge of racism went like this: “I can prove that the people who did not get nominated were just as good, or in some cases better, than those who were white and nominated. It’s reasonable to assume that racism is a factor.” Valid or invalid, an argument intended as proof would follow. Not so today. Today, all you need is name-calling intended as intimidation. It’s nothing more than schoolyard bullying, elevated to the level of sophisticated cultural analysis. Automatically, with no suggestion of evidence and none considered necessary, those who fail to immediately see the racism involved are condemned as – you guessed it, racist. It’s so sad. Those accused of racism feel impotent to defend themselves. “I can’t disagree with those claiming this year’s Oscars are racist. That would make me a racist.” So they bow their heads in compliance with the guilt-inducing name-callers who must know what they’re talking about, right? This is one more sad example of why America is failing and floundering. We’re doing it to ourselves, by letting these junkyard bullies passing as social commentators intimidate us into not thinking. This also summarizes the whole problem with progressive leftism, the ruling orthodoxy of today’s government, academic and media culture. You’re guilty until proven innocent. In fact, if you fail to agree with the person making the claim, you’re guilty of the very thing (e.g. racism) for which the claim has not yet been proven. “You don’t agree with my charge of racism? That makes you a racist, then!” It’s circular reasoning. And it’s truly madness. That’s why Charlotte Rampling’s daring pushback is encouraging. Racist-baiters used to count on white people, especially white leftists/progressives (everyone in Hollywood must at least pretend to be one), not challenging them. It was solely an argument from intimidation. The thing about the argument from intimidation? When your objects of intimidation refuse to take it any longer, and hold the one making the claim responsible for proving it, then it’s a whole new ball game. Thank you, Charlotte Rampling. Stacey Dash, another courageous actress, says, “We have to make up our minds. Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don’t want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET [Black Entertainment Television], and the BET Awards, and the Image Awards, where you’re only awarded if you’re black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It’s a double standard. Just like there shouldn’t be a black history month. We’re Americans. Period. That’s it.” Absolutely. The alternative to racism is individualism. America represents individualism, or at least it once did. The racist-baiters who try to intimidate and shame us into phony agreement will never accomplish a thing, not for anyone. I am sick of them, and everyone else who is sick of them should start saying so, too. Put the bullies in their place. http://drhurd.com/2016/01/22/57754/ |

Jada Pinkett Smith, Spike Lee to boycott Oscars ceremony... I am trying to fix a whoops... I thought Will was up for the Oscar for Martin Luther King jr. and I just went off on that ... lol but it was for his movie about the danger of football ... but Jada thinks the black actors are being left out of the so call white Oscars ... now I like both of their acting ... but to boycott just seems unreasonable...I would not take a attitude just becouse my husband did not get nominated or other black actors ... and they should be happy to know ...they have came out with a more protective helmet for football games ... pretty awseome engineering ... where they should not get concussions anymore ... and guess someone came up with the black actors own ceremony for their awards show... this **** happens in Music to ... look if someone has like more of one song or movie they should get awarded what ever color they are ... I can understand what the people behind the Oscars are doing ... and that's their choice ... think they own the show ... so if people have a problem then don't go ... to either the black or white awards show ... but come on people love Jada and Wills movies ... but they do not have to always be expected to get a nomination ... I feel like this kinda like they never have enough to go into the Hall of fame ... only a selected few get it each yr ... when some of these great people should get it but there is just not enough rm ... same with the Oscars ... now lets wait for it ... Who cares
The only reason Jada has a career is because of her husband. It isn't because she can act, hell she damn near ruined my favorite TV show Gotham hen she was a series regular playing Fish Mooney in Season 1! |

the American language is complex and we often use a word in many different contexts. For instance 'a jar' is a noun and 'ajar' is an adjective. both pronounced the same. different contexts. the same is true of 'colour' words like black and white,,,though we could say negro and caucasion it would still have roots in 'colour' as negro likewise means black. because 'culture' changes generationally , and is much harder to assess in individuals without getting to know every person we meet, we have more general ways of describing people, like the language they speak or their asthetic appearance and these easily observable differences have been cause for plenty of disparate treatment and disparate experiences of those sharing them due to that reality, that race and not 'culture' has caused people to share in common disparate treatment,, racial and not cultural relations is one of many hot topics and concerns for things that need improving someone watching you walk through their neighborhood, or driving in your car or entering their store,,,or applying for a job, or submitting for a loan,, don't really know what 'culture' you live,, but they make plenty of assumptions about it based upon their visual assessments like your race, your speech patterns or language,,,etc,, hope that clears it up a bit more,,,, |

this is about two years in a row where blacks HAVE NOT Maybe others were better....
If you think the entity, The Academy, that represents Hollyweird, is going to, on purpose, elect not to nominate someone because theyre black, youre high as frick. Its just more for complainers to complain about and they, and those who support them, come across as lil whiny bltches. People who scream racism at the drop of a hat and Hollywood actors share a same quality though....they both are attention whores...its quite evident by this so called incident. |

People who scream racism at the drop of a hat and Hollywood actors share a same quality though....they both are attention whores...its quite evident by this so called incident. well, that's one possibility, that for two years NOT one out of all the minority actors actresses and directors working in the field did work that was worthy of an award,,,or nomination, and another is that they didn't even get considered because of implicit racism btw BET AWARD for best new artist 2014 was Sam smith BET AWARD for best group in 2013 was Macklemore as stated before Miss Dash hasn't a clue and her statements were false and absurd,,, |

Patronising and pandering: the specialties of the left. Fracture the nation into competing interest groups and it's much easier to manipulate them.

BET and Image awards nominate whites as well
I have some news for you....Black people HAVE been nominated before...hell, theyve even WON Oscars...your reasoning stinks.
, which is what this issue was about,, just getting some RECOGNITION through being nominated,, it wasn't about not 'winning' Btw, not a damn soul is bltching about not getting a BET Award nomination....but feel free to carry on with more faux racism. this is about two years in a row where blacks HAVE NOT and as stated before, the same is not true of BET awards where whites are nominated,, what black actor do you thinks deserves a nomination? i didn't see the WS movie about concussions, but it didn't really do very good at the box office, and not very good reviews... maybe the NWA from Compton? is anything in that movie worth a nomination, a movie about gangsters? |

well, that's one possibility, that for two years NOT one out of all the minority actors actresses and directors working in the field did work that was worthy of an award,,,or nomination, You said it yourself...its a possibility....maybe black actors have sucked the past teo years. You dont get recognition for the color of your skin.
and another is that they didn't even get considered because of implicit racism Nah....FRICKIN LIBERAL AS HELL HOLLYWOOD isnt gonna do that....Now, if you wanna imply that its a ploy where they came together and hatched this bs for publicity, Id buy that.
