Aren't Black people the bigger, more adult people?

I'm probably going to get hell for this...

All this business, complaining, and boycotting any sort of awards ceremonies by various actors and individuals is just stupid!

I'm not going to win an award.
I wasn't nominated.
I'm boycotting the awards!

So, should I put on my big boy panties now?

 I have a great deal of respect for black people!

A great deal of respect.

Out of the people I went to school with, I was maybe 1 of the 3 "white" people in a classroom out of 20+ other students.

Most were Black or Hispanic and several more Asian.

20 years ago, I moved "Great North West".

Ever since then, and even today, I call it the "Great White North West".

It's not the cold, rain or snow which influences the name.

It's the strange difference and absence of racial variety here.

Getting back to the Awards Shows, etc...

This morning, I saw an article where Jamie Foxx was basically making fun of Will Smith, etc...  "Act Better!"


My family and I love movies!

Personally, there are some that I will watch just because it has Will Smith, or Denzel Washington in them.

It's like going to watch "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones" movies.

You just got to go see them.

Why whine about it!?
Aren't you the bigger person?

There were MANY MORE black people who have been denied "petty" things by today's standards, who never threw a fit like this!

My feelings about this make me feel like a parent for all of these people.

• If they "start to allow" or "nominate" black actors on purpose...

1. Wouldn't that be like giving in because someone is whining?
1. Did you work hard at your job and not get recognized?
1. Welcome to the world with the rest of us!
2. I haven't always been recognized for my efforts at work!
3. I don't whine, because it really won't change things because of the past.  It might change going forward, but it might not.

I made my own way to the "top" of where I want to be.

No college education.

No specialized training.

All self taught.

I didn't whine because I didn't get the salary I should've gotten at first.

The exception to this would be if I was hired in, did my job extremely well.  Or "walked on water" as one manager put it.

So no matter what you do, how hard you work, you don't always get the pay and recognition you deserve!

If you want to boycott the shows, boycott the shows.

Just understand, if you start getting more nominations and awards going forward...

Wouldn't you be the child getting their way by yelling & screaming!?
