Chris Rock has race issues....

[Lycanthrope]

Not sure who thought he would be a good fit for this gig, but they were obviously wrong...

A few jokes at the intro were fine, and he picked on both sides a little bit in the opening, but going on and on about it through the entire show got very old very fast.

Agreed. I didn't watch all of it but it didn't take long to get old.

I thought mentioning it was OK, maybe uncalled for, but whatever. Unfortunately he was fixated on the race thing and it got old very fast. He was really quick to point out that black athletes are superior to whites tho. Sounded to me like the most racist person there was standing on stage... Maybe he should call for more black people to go to movies, he should know better than anyone, $$$ speak louder than words!

Never did find the guy funny, actually always thought of him as rather annoying.

 

[5575]

Yea it was a pretty pathetic show I thought.
And to end the show with "music" by Niggaz Wit Attitudes. With fine tunes such as FU!*the police...really?

I did find this funny "yet very true thou"

 

[snow]

Really? he pulled the black athlete card? So if true,where are the black hockey players? or black swimmer's? How about black alpine skiers or cross country skiers? just to name a few.Did'nt waste my time last night,these blacks some how feel entitled even tho they lack in acting,the few blacks that made it over the years deserved it and not because they were black.

 

[Lycanthrope]

There would be more black hockey players if they had parents that were dedicated enough to pay the $$$ it costs to participate and willing to give up their weekends for 4 months out of the year for the 10 years or so it takes them to get good enough to participate at the high school level...

From all accounts I'm glad I had to work and missed it, probably wouldn't have watched it anyway. All those liberal progressives in one building gives me the creeps.

 

[guywhofishes]

Didn't watch it. I even skipped the news this am with the goal of not seeing/hearing any progressive bitching/whining about it.

#winning!

Missed it. Was busy watching the In-Depth Outdoors episode and Babe's epic day piking.
Worth a watch.

Walleye fishermen sure miss out, I dont feel too bad for them tho...

 

[Up Y'oars]

Amazing how Hollywood is now into journalism and reporting to the globe about news more than they are about movies?? I mean, last night it was politics, sexism, racism, global warming, black lives matter, etc.

I'd swear they all want to be a Walter Cronkite!

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The 88th Annual Academy Awards had controversy, Chris Rock, and a few surprises ("Spotlight" wins Best Picture!), but the big storylines on Hollywood's biggest night brought in disappointing ratings for the Oscars.
The show drew a 23.4 overnight rating on Sunday night, according to ABC.
The ratings for the three and a half hour broadcast was down 5% from last year's 24.6 overnight rating and would give the awards its lowest overnight rating in eight years.

The people that are crying racism every other day need to step back and ask themselves if it's the color of their skin that's holding them back or their terrible decision making?
