Little Pavian is just like drunk Pavian.

They're both so dumb they actually do not understand how incoherent they are. His flailing on blackjack is an all-time classic.

No flailing anywhere. I leaves scattering of teeth in every thread. Lots of dummies here. You Joe and Dave leading the pack.

If Obama can get elected President twice, then it’s not a massive stretch to assume that the American people, if it were left to them, would vote for a few black actors at the Oscars if it were down to them

we'll never have a color blind society, African Americans are doing everything possible to make sure that never happens

they're always fucking victims, no matter their life status, fucking pathetic crybabies

why aren't there more white basketball players? if it were the opposite, the fucking losers would argue racism

when they're on the short end of some stick, it's never about talent or education or value system, it's always racism, even when one is the POTUS

Asians put them to shame, succeed in everyday life by a much wider margin despite having to overcome just as many if not more obstacles (although Asians benefit from a significant parenting advantage, by that I mean they're not raised to be victims, they're leaders don't cry about being victims, they're not taught to expect handouts because they;ve been dealt a bad hand, they work to succeed)

garbage in, garbage out

They're only doing this as a favor to the Academy Awards. You people talking about this like it is actually something meaningful fell for it pretty hard.

The real crime of this year's Academy Awards isn't the omission of black actors, it's the hype surrounding The Revenant.
