Jada Pinkett Smith shows disappointment with the Oscars!
Quote:
At the Oscars...people of color are always welcomed to give out awards...even entertain, but we are rarely recognized for our artistic accomplishments. Should people of color refrain from participating all together? People can only treat us in the way in which we allow.
With much respect in the midst of deep disappointment,
J.
Maybe they should have a space reserved for a POC/Black in the nominations or something ? I genuinely find the fuss being made about an award so weird.

It's not simply about winning an award, it's about your worth and artistry as an actor being acknowledged. From getting the roles to getting some recognition.

Wow yeah 'best supporting actress' vs. 'best supporting poC actress' vs. 'best supporting black actress' what a fabulous, non-segregating idea!
Where did she say anything about blacks? Or do you think "people of color" only means black people? Because that's way more cringeworthy than anything anybody has said about this whole Oscars fiasco.

How so? Why is wanting to be recognized and acknowledged for your work/artistry wrong?
They'll give a nomination/award to a mediocre white person before they give one to a deserving poc. To say race doesn't play a part in this would be a lie
