Oh yeah! You guys remember when there was an outcry among
blacks in the States that was no nomination for any black movie in the Oscars
award,which made most blacks boycotted, saying that Christ Rock who is the
compere for the should not host it,
apparently Christ is saying that Jada Pinkett only boycotted because her
husband was not nominted…..take a read at what he has to say about her and her
husband,plus his view on racism in Hollywood
'What happened this year? Jada's going to boycott the Oscars. Jada boycotting the Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited! 'It's not an invitation I would turn down.'
"You realize if they nominated hosts, I wouldn't even get this job. You'd be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now,'
'It's the 88th Academy Awards, which means this whole no black nominees thing has happened at least 71 other times,'
Speaking on why the furor over diversity in the industry was an issue today rather than in the 1950s or 1960s, Chris Rock said black Americans had bigger issues to worry about then.
'Because we had real things to protest at the time.
We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer.'
'When your grandmother is swinging from a tree, it's really hard to care about best documentary foreign short.'
Chris then told a true story that involved President Barack Obama.
'I was at a fundraiser for president Obama, a lot of you were there … It's all of Hollywood and there were four black people there: me, Quincy Jones, Russell Simmons, Questlove. The usual suspects,'
'At some point you get to take a picture with the president. As they're setting up the picture you get a little moment with the president. I'm like, 'Mr. President, you see all these writers producers and actors, they don't hire black people – and they're the nicest white people on Earth. They're liberals!'
On the aspect of racism in Hollywood he says
'Everyone wants to know in the world, is Hollywood racist? Is it 'burning cross racist'? No. Is it 'fetch me some lemonade racist'? No. It's a different type of racist…. Hollywood is 'sorority racist.' It's like, we like you Rhonda, but you're not a Kappa.'
