Terrorist Blames Fox News For Failed Attack On Muslims!

Terrorist blames conservative media for his failed mass shooting plot.

The Huffington Post has this interesting story about some White extremist who is accused of plotting a mass shooting at the San Diego branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations. He allegedly binged watch on that right wing news channel during it coverage of the Charlie Hebdo and San Bernardino massacres.

The agitators of the racist right and Republican presidential candidates have taken this tongue wagging offensive on handling terrorism. They claim that "radical Islam" is the scourge of America.

The junk food media's obsession with scaring people with terrorism. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) has gotten about the same promotion as Republican front runners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

John David Weissinger decided to take responsibility for his actions. Weissinger pled guilty in August to felony charges of possessing an illegal firearm and making a criminal threat determined to be a hate crime, along with a misdemeanor charge of interfering with civil rights.

He left a chilling message threatening CAIR. The civil rights organization turned the voice mail over to the FBI and California State Patrol.



This Tuesday, during a sentencing hearing, Weissinger's attorney advanced a peculiar argument: His client, who was drunk when he made the threats, had committed the crimes “after a week of watching Fox News over and over.”

“Fox News is a hate machine, spewing out horrible things” about Muslims, attorney Michael Malowney said.

Now normally I don't want to go there. The freedom of speech allows that right wing network to promote commentators, guest and events in regards to covering trending topics. The rhetoric of Republicans, Fox News and talk radio has sparked a rise in Islamophobia. But the threats and criminal acts done by individuals like this terrorist are solely his to own.

Malowney said he wasn't trying to make up a "lame excuse" for Weissinger -- who he said struggles with depression and anxiety -- or say that "Fox News made him do it." But Malowney did argue that Islamophobia, of the sort propagated by media outlets like Fox News, helped push a susceptible man over the edge.

According to the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters for America, in the week after the Charlie Hebdo attacks -- when Weissinger was watching Fox News constantly -- the cable channel ramped up its rhetoric against Muslims.

The most annoying conservative agitator to host a show on that network is Sean Hannity. He is the biggest concern troll and racial agitator second to Matt Drudge.

Sean Hannity, for example, asked whether the U.S. should "insist" on assimilation from Muslim immigrants. Bob Beckel, the channel’s supposedly liberal counterweight, flat-out declared, "I'm an Islamophobe."

Fox News invited one polemicist after another to rail against Muslims in broad, blanket terms. Steve Emerson, a self-styled "terrorism expert" of limited credibility, appeared on the channel at least four times in the week after the Charlie Hebdo killings. Emerson claimed that Birmingham, England, was a "totally Muslim" city "where non-Muslims just simply don't go in." Birmingham is in fact 22 percent Muslim. In another appearance, Emerson said that Europe was "finished" because it had too many Muslims who hadn't assimilated to Western culture. In response, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron called Emerson "clearly an idiot."

Robert Spencer, director of the anti-Muslim website Jihad Watch, claimed on Fox News' “Hannity” that a "core principle" of Islam is "the idea of emigrating to a new place to conquer and Islamize it." Spencer is a known personality on the anti-Muslim circuit who “engages in fear-mongering through steady reference to theories like 'stealth jihad,' eminent 'Islamization of America,' and the infiltration of Congress by 'Muslim spy interns,’” according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Brigitte Gabriel, once described by an editor of The Oxford History of Islam as a "professional Muslim basher," is the founder of ACT! for America, a group the SPLC says has "eagerly tapped into a groundswell of anti-Muslim rage and done what it could to fan the flames." Gabriel appeared on Fox News multiple times after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, arguing that Europe was "paying the price" for allowing Muslims in after World War II. Europe, she said, had "ignored the cancer growing within its body when it was at stage 2."

Fox News also had Frank Gaffney on the air, a man described by the SPLC as "the anti-Muslim movement's most paranoid propagandist." Gaffney once accused the prominent conservative Grover Norquist of being a mole for the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Agenda-driven media outlets like Fox create an atmosphere in which hate crimes are more likely to occur," CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper said. "It's not a shock to anyone that someone taking on a steady diet of Fox evening talk programs would come away with Islamophobic view points.”

The judge didn't buy Weissinger’s Fox News defense on Tuesday, sentencing him to a year in the iron college and five years’ in-house.

Michael Bloomberg Might Spoil The Milk!



He clearly is no fan of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump.

The former mayor of New York, gun control advocate and media mogul Michael Bloomberg is considering a run for president as an independent. He believes that if Sanders, Cruz and Trump continue to succeed, he might become a spoiler.

Bloomberg ran three terms as the mayor of America's largest city.

Bloomberg is not too keen on Hillary Clinton as well.

Bloomberg is the "sort of independent candidate for whom economic elites have long been clamoring": liberal on social issues and conservative on economics. Sources say Bloomberg would be willing to spend $1 billion of his own money on the race, and he's been studying past third-party campaigns and polling his popularity against Trump and Clinton, the Times reports.

Bloomberg never pulled the trigger because he didn't think he could win, according to the Times. That could change this year, pitching himself as a "technocratic problem-solver and self-made businessman" against radical candidates. Sources say Bloomberg would likely run if it ends up being Trump or Cruz against Sanders. “Hillary is mainstream enough that Mike would have no chance, and Mike’s not going to go on a suicide mission,” says a friend and former DNC chairman.

Bloomberg could become a spoiler for the Democrats if he chooses to run.

Consideration could come as early as March.

Bloomberg won his first two elections as a Republican. He dropped the party in 2009 to run as an independent. He endorsed President Barack Obama in his reelection bid in 2012.

We shall see!

Republicans Declare War On Cruz And Trump!

Republican are feuding with one another over a potential Donald Trump or Ted Cruz nomination.

While the bromance is over between the two, many Republicans are fearing that the rhetoric by the two Republican front runners could spell disaster for the party.

The Republican Party is tearing itself into pieces because of the insurgents. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump are leading in the national polls. But some insiders are saying that these two are proven to be embarrassments to the Republican establishment.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who dropped out the race to endorse Jeb Bush went to the junk food media to declare that Trump and Cruz could destroy the party "A choice between the two is like being shot or poisoned".

The National Review fired first shots at Trump. They released a hard hitting commentary slamming the notion of Trump being a "true conservative". It had commentary from many prominent conservative writers, Republican strategists and average voters.

The Des Moines Register came out and endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) against Trump and Cruz.

Sarah Palin's endorsement of Trump also sparked a feud between her longtime friend and fellow agitator Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck endorses Cruz.
Beck, a media mogul who controls TheBlaze Network is so freaking tired of Trump. He openly condemned the notion of Trump being the nominee. Beck once gave Trump strong praise until he went after Cruz. Beck openly endorsed a feud with Trump.

Trump basically called Beck a "wacko" has been who now does internet shows instead of real ones.

Now that right wing network will host the next Republican debate before the Iowa caucus and it's already causing controversy.

Megyn "The Outrage Princess" Kelly along with "Smirking Chimp" Chris Wallace and "Unibrow" Bret Beier will moderate the debate again. Trump already said that Megyn's got to go!

The Republican Party is so fucked up right now.

Hollywood Conservatives Denounces #OscarsSoWhite!

Hollywood conservatives speak out against #OscarsSoWhite and Jada Pinkett Smith's boycott of the Oscars.

Did you know that some entertainers in Hollywood are conservative?

Chuck Norris, Ted Nugent, Patricia Heaton, Kelsey Grammer, Clint Eastwood, Jenna Jameson, Rob Schneider, LL Cool J, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Shannen Doherty, Adam Corolla, Dennis Miller, Vince Vaughn, James Woods, Jon Voight, Adam Sandler, Stacey Dash, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Melissa Joan Hart are notable Republicans celebrities.

Hollywood does have celebrities who are dye in the wool Republicans. They happened to be some on the A-list all the way down to the D-list.

Many of these celebrities have spoken on the boycott against the Academy Awards.

Even some in the nomination committee sparked a tad bit of outrage.

Lionel Chetwynd a member of the Academy board said, "It's shortsighted that people are making these accusation and, frankly it's insulting. He added, "I'm quite capable of judging and marveling at a performance without being conscious of the actor's skin color, What's wrong with you all? It's not the Academy of Diversity."

Chetwynd, believes that the votes weren't inspired by bigotry.

"Sometimes it takes a long period of time for culture change to be reflected the time, and they're going to be replaced by a new generation of artists But that doesn't happen overnight. And it shouldn't," said Chetwynd.

Actor Michael Caine an Oscar winner himself found himself catching some heat. The British actor said that Black actors should be "patient" for Oscar nominations and that he wouldn't vote for a Black actor solely based on his race.

"There's are loads of black actors; I think in he end you can't vote for an actor (just) because he's black. You can't say, 'I'm going to vote for him, he's not very good but he's Black, (so) I'll vote for him.' You've got to give a good performance."

British actress Charlotte Rampling fought back tears when she went on record to say that the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag and the boycott was "racist to White people." She went as far to say that Black actors aren't good enough for a nomination. By the way, Rampling is nominated for an Oscar for the movie 45 years.

"One can never really know, but perhaps the Black actors did not deserve to make the final list," said Rampling. Asked if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences should introduce quotas, a proposal which no current advocate of increased diversity has mooted, Rampling responds with this tepid response: "Why classify people? These days everyone is more or less accepted. People will always say 'Him, he's less handsome'; 'Him, he's too Black', 'He is too White'.... someone will always be saying 'You are too [this or that] ... But do we have to take from this that there should be lots of minorities everywhere?"

Truly sad and pathetic that we have people who continue to undermine the real message to why the Academy Awards have to change. When will they realize that this issue has been active for years.

Macklemore And Ryan Lewis Talk "White Privilege"!

Rap duo release a single that touches a nerve. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis release "White Privilege" off their sophomore album, The Unruly Mess I've Made. 

Grammy award winning rap duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are dropping a single that will have people talking. The duo released White Privilege II, a sequel to the White Privilege single from Macklemore's 2005 underground release The Language of My World.

The song gets the nation's attention.



The Huffington Post spotlights the single. Believe me that the song singles out Iggy Azalea, Miley Cyrus and numerous other White entertainers who embraced Black culture.

The duo's lyrics to the song  touch on racial tensions, the Black Lives Matter movement and the toxicity of being passive in one's own white privilege. The nearly nine-minute song, which features Jamila Woods, points out that too often white people stand up against racial injustice when it is convenient for them.

The song also tackles the exploitation of black traditions, calling out Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea and Elvis for cultural appropriation. “We take all we want from black culture, but will we show up for black lives?" Macklemore, who's been accused of appropriation himself, raps.

In anticipation of the follow up to their smash album The Heist, the duo releases The Unruly Mess I've Made in February.

This Unruly Mess I've Made, album cover.jpgThe song, which is free on iTunes, is the result of the artists' ongoing dialogue about race in Seattle and across the country as they seek to engage with and invest in black-led organizations like Black Lives Matter and Black Youth Project 100.

"[W]e will continue to find ways in which we can leverage our platform and network towards strengthening the work of organizers and initiatives framed by genuine racial and social equity," the artists said in a statement. "We wish to support direct organizing and be led by the expertise and experience of those on the front lines as we proceed."

Macklemore is passionate about #OscarsSoWhite and the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

He released the song to show solidarity to Jada Pinkett Smith.

Jada called upon a boycott of the Oscar Awards and it's managed to gain traction.

Some individuals in the industry have spoken against the boycott. Besides Janet Hubert, you have two others involved in the controversy. Gerald Molen and Charlotte Rumpling have called the boycott bullshit and blast #OscarsSoWhite as racist.

We will cover this controversy in the next post.

Stacey Dash Is Still Clueless And People Are Noticing It!

Stacey Dash created a shit storm.

Out of the freezer after a two week thaw, washed up actress turned political agitator Stacey Dash once again appears on the right wing network to throw shade on Black America.

She turns 49 this week. And for her birthday, she wants Black America to stop whining about grievances.

Dash is a commentator on Outnumbered.

On the right wing network Dash went on to slam Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee for advocating a boycott on the Oscars.

"I think it’s ludicrous. We have to make up our minds; either we want to have segregation or integration. If we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards, and the [NAACP] Image Awards, where you're only awarded if you're black. If it were the other way around, we would be up in arms. It's a double standard […] Just like there shouldn't be a Black History Month. We're American, that's it."



Once a Democrat, Dash found love with a perennial loser by the name of Mitt Romney.

She faced some major heat from her fans when she announced she coming out as a proud Republican.

Ever since, she's been even more crazier.




BET fired back at her. They posted on their official social media pages slamming the washed up actress for being like I've said, "Clueless".

BET then responded with the below tweet, writing, “Soooooo @REALStaceyDash can we get our check back… or nah? #Remember #YouWereOnTheGame #AndWeDontMeanTheRapper.”

Like Father Like Son....!

Business friendly.

The civil war within the Cash Money camp seems to be over.

Lil' Wayne and Birdman patched things up for the time being. The two were on some bitter shit for almost a year now. They were trading insults online, in the studio and inside the courtroom.

Weezy claims that Cash Money stalled Tha Carter V from being released and he threatened to sue for royalties and a full release off the Cash Money/Young Money label. Mind you the Young Money label is Lil' Wayne's label but its a subsidiary of Cash Money and its under contract as well.

There's reports that Mack Maine arranged a meeting with Bryan "Birdman" and Ronald "Slim" Williams.

MTV News report that the two were spotted at a Cash Money reunion event. Back on New Year’s Eve, the pair reunited for a photo with the entire Cash Money squad hanging at a Drake show, which prompted some speculation that the troubles in their relationship — which includes lawsuits, thrown drinks and a tour bus shooting — had been settled.

This week, its confirmed that Birdman and Weezy stood on stage together, right next to each other, as Birdman explained the current state of their relationship.

"This is my motherf–king son," Birdman says in a video taken Sunday night, pointing to Weezy. "I'd die for him, I'ma live for him and I'll motherf–king kill for him. You heard me? That ain't gonna never change…it's YMCMB for life."

On Drake's social media page, the Champagne Papi posted a simple confirmation of the feud settling down.

DJ Akademiks post a picture of Birdman, Lil' Wayne and Romeo Miller.

Even Young Money president Mack Maine went to social media to express support for the two. In his posting he says “United We Stand Divided We Fall!!”

A photo posted by Mack Maine (@mackmaine4president) on



According to TMZ, Young Money president Mack Maine arranged for a phone call between Wayne and Birdman just hours before they met up at Drake’s New Year’s Eve party in Miami. They reportedly discussed their issues including the millions Birdman allegedly owes Wayne.

The two have “strong feelings” about squashing their beef. However, Wayne is not willing to dismiss his $51 million lawsuit against Cash Money Records unless they reach an agreement.

Mack Maine is being credited for initiating the idea of a settlement and brought Weezy and Baby together at Drake’s NYE party.

Okay, here's the poll.

One Of Trump's Many Friends!

Steve Bowman (WOWT/Screenshot)


Mama Grizzly's earth shattering (yawn) endorsement of Donald Trump kind of took the steam out of Ted Cruz's campaign. The shrill and ignorant voice of Sarah Palin could help Trump win the state of Iowa.

Palin's endorsement of Trump was a huge blow to the Cruz campaign who desperately sought out her endorsement.

Her rhetoric is so out of the mainstream it affects the minds of some. Now some asshole from Omaha went out his way to show support for Trump by calling President Barack Obama a "NIGGER".

The Raw Story reports that WOWT reporter John Chapman interviewed Steve Bowman, a white man living in northeast Omaha, on Tuesday morning. Bowman’s home was festooned with a sign in his window announcing he is a supporter of GOP candidate Trump. He also displayed a sign that said "nigger Obama."

"Well I grew up in the 60’s," Bowman said when asked by Chapman if he thought the Obama sign was too much. "I remember racial riots. I know Martin Luther King. I’m 57 so I grew up in the late 50’s early 60’s and I know what it’s like the water guns the racial riots and Birmingham. You know the south, I know all about it. I have a master’s degree in history."

He then admitted, "It might be a little racist."

It so happens that Bowman lives across the street from an African-American family, with two young girls.

"He’s been putting up stuff like that constantly. Constantly putting up stuff like that and I’ll bring it up to him gently, you know, '"rake that down please you know this is not the neighborhood for that'" neighbor Regina Wright told WOWT. "He understands and he will take it down after I mention it to him, but then he’ll put something else up."

After discussing the matter with Chapman, Bowman decided to take the sign down.

It seems like Trump's supporters are kind of ignorant as well.

Conservatives: Should The Oscars Give Gangsta Rappers An Award?

The pressure is on.

You know the trolls of the racist right are out! Ever since Jada Pinkett Smith made the call to boycott the Oscars after another year of no Black nominees, conservatives have jumped on the bandwagon to attack her, Spike Lee and President Barack Obama. 

The concern trolls, the White extremists and the flagrant flamers are working overtime in trying to undermine the message. 

The most common theme among conservatives is "BET gave awards to Black people, what's the big deal?" or "You guys should stop complaining, the movies sucked!". 

The creator of the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag April Reign praises Jada's boycott. She believes the time is now to address the controversy and keep pressure on the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences to change course, fast. 

The Drudge Report (which I refer to as the conservative Craigslist) spotlighted the washed up celebrity Janet Hubert's vicious rant on Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith.

Hubert, who once played Aunt Vivian on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was fired out the cannon. She blames Smith for getting her blackballed in Hollywood. She jumped on the concern troll wagon telling stories about how Will's refusal to stick up for her during a contractual dispute lead to the bitter feud. Hubert says that Blacks have more concerns than some statue. I happen to agree with her only in that sense. But unfortunately, if this is swept under the rug, we condone this and that's what Hubert is missing. 
Michael B. Jordan in the movie Creed.
Conservatives have seen Aunt Viv's rant as a way to denounce the boycott. 

But it hasn't stopped many others from rallying to her defense. George Clooney, Snoop Dogg, Lupita Nyong'o, Idris Elba, Michael Moore, David Oyelowo, Whoopi Goldberg, and even Oscars host Chris Rock have spoken in favor of Jada's boycott. 

Spike Lee appeared on Good Morning America to say that he'll be watching a New York Knicks game instead of watching or going to the Oscars. Lee said that he supports his brother Chris [Rock] and his decisions are his to own. He also said that Academy's president Cheryl Isaacs Boone is a sister of the cause but in a dilemma of her own creating. 

A British film critic agitated the controversy even more. Mediaite reports that Jason Solomons basically said that Blacks should be snubbed if they're  playing minstrel characters. He said that black people shouldn't win covet nominations for playing "gangster rappers" like the Straight Outta Compton cast, or an "African savage" like Idris Elba‘s Beasts of No Nation character.

Now this probably a member of the Academy voting committee basically saying that Black talent isn't valued.


Carson Had A Death In The Campaign!

Ben Carson lost a member of his campaign.

A campaign volunteer was killed on slick highways near Omaha, Nebraska. On the road near Council Bluffs, Iowa, the campaign van that carried Ben Carson's campaign staffers and volunteers hit the ice.

Braden Joplin, 25 was the only fatality. The three other passengers and the driver were treated and released, said the Carson campaign.

Carson canceled all events for the next two days. He will meet with Joplin's family to express condolences.

"One of the precious few joys of campaigning is the privileged of meeting bright young men and women who are so enthusiastic about their country that they will freely give of their time and energy to work on its behalf", Carson said. "America lost one of those bright young men today".

The incident happened on Interstate 80.

The crash involved a green 2015 Ford van and a 2012 Chevy Avalanche.

The driver of the van lost control on the icy road when he attempted to switch lanes, The van crossed the median and then was broadsided by a pickup truck.

Jonathan "Drew" McCall, 27 of Sugar Land, Texas was driving the van and Brian Sutton of Council Bluffs, 42 was driving the pickup truck. The Iowa State Highway Patrol will likely cite McCall for the accident.

World News Today send our condolences to the family of Braden Joplin.

You Betcha, I'm Palling Around With The Donald!

Donald Trump won the Tea Party Queen's support.

The former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin emerges from obscurity to endorse the controversial reality television star and business mogul Donald Trump.

She was the former vice presidential nominee for the John McCain campaign in 2008.

It comes as no surprise that Trump said that he would find a place for Palin in his administration if he was elected the president. Palin is a longtime supporter of Trump, and even backed his controversial call for a "complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the United States. Back in August, Palin raved about the businessman, praising him for "crushing it in the polls."

Matter of fact, this comes a huge blow to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) who is neck and neck with Trump.

Cruz wasn't thrilled about the endorsement.




She was the one who helped Cruz and fellow candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) win their bids in the U.S. Senate.

Iowa's Republican governor Terry Branstad also went forth to slam Cruz because he voted against ethanol subsidiaries that fuels Iowa's economy.

Jada Pinkett Smith Leads The #OscarsSoWhite Boycott!

Jada Pinkett Smith went to social media to protest the Oscars. Will Smith hasn't commented on his wife's decision to boycott the ceremony.

Entertainer Jada Pinkett Smith, had call upon Black entertainers in Hollywood to do a boycott of the Oscars in February. It's sparked by the anger of many who believe the Oscars deliberately snubbed Black and Hispanic actors and actresses.

On her official social media pages, Pinkett Smith remarks about the Oscars once again leaving talent of color off the table. She also said that she asks entertainers who are upset over the situation to join her in the boycott.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Pinkett Smith decided the time is now to address this.










She went to her social network to make a video to address her frustrations.

We must stand in our power!We must stand in our power.
Posted by Jada Pinkett Smith on Monday, January 18, 2016


"Today is Martin Luther King's birthday, and I can't help but ask the question: Is it time that people of color recognize how much power, influence, that we have amassed, that we no longer need to ask to be invited anywhere?" Pinkett Smith said on her video.

She added, "Begging for acknowledgement, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power. And we are a dignified people, and we are powerful. So let's let the Academy do them, with all grace and love. And let's do us, differently".
Janet Hubert took to social media to slam on Jada Pinkett Smith's boycott. Hubert blames Will Smith for her being fired out the cannon from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. She's hasn't done much since and she faults him.
One person isn't supporting Jada's boycotts is Janet Hubert. Hubert was the original "Aunt Vivian" on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. She took to social media to slam her down.

Hubert took a shot at her husband, entertainer Will Smith for not being nominated in the movie Concussion.

"First of all, Miss Thing, does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak?" Hubert said in a video message. "Second thing is, girlfriend, there's a lot of s—t going on in the world that you all don't seem to recognize. People are dying, our boys are being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are trying to pay bills, and you're talking about some…actors and Oscars. It just ain't that deep." Hubert said that the Smiths are asking people to jeopardize their careers, and she finds it "ironic" that Pinkett Smith has made "millions and millions of dollars from the very people that you're talking about boycotting."



Hubert was fired out the cannon after she got into confrontations with Will Smith and Alfanso Ribeiro, the show's breakout stars.

To this day, Hubert is blackballed from Hollywood and she blames Smith for her shortcomings.

Hubert is often criticized by her former castmates as being a "drama queen". Hubert says that Will Smith is an ego-driven asshole who throws temper tantrums when he can't get his way.
Jada Pinkett Smith got a friend in Spike Lee.
Jada got one supporter. Filmmaker Spike Lee decided to join her boycott. After his controversial movie Chiraq got snubbed, Spike Lee decided to make it clear that he's not attending or watching the Oscars as well.

"We cannot support it and I mean no disrespect.... But, how is it possible for the second consecutive year all 20 contenders under the acting category are white? And let's not even get into the other branches, said Spike Lee.

The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts & Sciences president is Cheryl Isaacs Boone. She is a woman of color herself. Boone is truly disappointed that Black entertainers are upset. She said that she promises that she'll get to the bottom of this.

The members of a nearly 7,000 voting committee are mostly White, older, male and pretty much out of touch with the movie trends.

Reminds me of those conservative agitators Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and Bill O'Reilly. They're old, white, and out of touch with reality.

Jada also blessed her friend Chris Rock on a great performance. She hopes him the best but she said that she'll sit this one out.

By the way Chris Rock went to social media to address this.
