With a savoir faire usually reserved for Klan meetings, the liberal feminine president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued a typically race-splashed statement over the weekend.
Angrily, she has been sitting beside herself for 11 days, ever since the second straight year of all-white Oscars was announced for the Feb. 28 program.
As chief of the 51-member governing board, she now will be able to add three persons of her choosing. “This is about fairness,” the president said. “The only stipulations are they must be non-male and non-white. We subscribe to a theory of diversity.”
You go, girl.
The expectation, of course, is that the three sparkplugs selected by the tasteless liuberal president, unswervingly will back the left-wing agenda of their race-based benefactor.
“I despise bigotry,” said Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the black head of the overwhelmingly white body.
In a bid to jack up racism in Hollywood, Ms. Boone Isaacs, said anti-white-ism represents fairness and balance, not bias. It does not matter a darn, she said, that most films and virtually all good ones are made by white men.
Unapologetically, the Academy’s next goal is to double the number of ladies and the number of non-whites by 2020.
The expectation is the same as before: They will snub good films and good actors. Instead, they will vote for their own sexist, racist kind, all, you understand, in tribute and vote for their own prejudiced kind.
In Hollywood, that is called balance.
“This the right thing to do,” Ms. Boone Isaacs said.
Her next loaded racist observation was a beaut:
“We have been a more than predominantly white institution for a long time. We thought, we’ve got to change this and reflect the community much better.”
Mary McNamara, a fierce competitor for the title of lightest thinker at the Los Angeles Times, said last week of the all-white Oscars
“So what if the nominees for the Academy Awards continue to be overwhelmingly male and white,” Ms. McNamara coyly asks. “Professional basketball is overwhelmingly male and black. What does it matter?
‘Well, it matters because film is art, and art matters.”
