    There are plenty of great black actors and actresses. This just wasn't their year.

    Race baiters, get over it.

    Which again, reinforces why this shouldn't even be a story other than the pundits on FOX News pushing it to be.

    As was said, it's money and politics.

    There are quite a few Academy Awards given to people in the entertainment industry who are not actors or actresses. It does seem a bit strange that no non-white person was nominated in any of these other categories.

    Frankly I could care less who wins or does not win an award. The Academy Awards have never held any interest to me.

    Your words, not mine.

    I believe the awarding of the Academy Awards has always been much more political then about talent.

    If Hollywood gives Sharpton some money, this story will go away.

    The Academy is 94% White, 6% Others.
    77% Male, 23% Female
    With a median age of 62.

    Systemic.

    When you post stats, it is customary to also post the link and source from which you gathered these numbers. Until you do this, these numbers have no validity. But you already knew that, didn't you? :sleeping_2:

    You're under the impression that I'm gonna do your homework for you. I don't care what has no validity to you. Makes it no less the truth. :laugh:

    No, that makes it numbers that a person such as you, could simply pull out of their head. Those numbers could even be from your most recent Lotto pick!

    If you refuse to provide the source of your numbers, fine. Than none of us have to even consider them as fact!

    Of course they're not factual. Zaac lies all the time. That's why he never sources anything.

    Well that certainly makes sense because he is slow to post source, but quick to tell you he is not going to do "your work for you

    Sourcing is so easy, too.

    What would the statistical probabilities be if there were other possible gender categories: boy, girls, both, not sure?

    Stats are a curious notion: the possibility of life evolving from the elements on this planet is statistically impossible; yet many intelligent people believe such happened. How much empirical data does one need?

    Source data is important for sure, even though the strategy of the experiment may be seriously flawed. There is usually a lot of supposition and superstition involved from the getgo.

    In the final analysis: "Let God be found true; and every man lying."

    Why don't they cut a check and end the dispute?
