The Golden Globes' Race Problem [View all] Redfairen Jan 2014 OP

Interesting how the collage is incomplete. Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #1

It is discussed in the piece. It helps if you read it to the end. kwassa Jan 2014 #5

Yep. Left until the very last paragraph. And the photo excluded from the collage. Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #7

The author's agenda is obvious and public. This is an OPINION piece. kwassa Jan 2014 #11

What's yours? nt NoGOPZone Jan 2014 #34

To honor Steve McQueen for his achievement (nt) Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #35

Wouldn't fit Salon's racism claims if they included that picture LittleBlue Jan 2014 #13

What is dumb about this opinion piece? kwassa Jan 2014 #14

Yes because 1 Black man is comparable to 14 White counterparts. Amazing...really Amazing. n/t vaberella Jan 2014 #25

hey, v. I think the author absolutely has a point, but statistically- cali Jan 2014 #59

The collage is accurately captioned as being the winners of acting awards. fishwax Jan 2014 #27

it isn't incomplete. Those are the winners of acting awards. fishwax Jan 2014 #26

So the theory is that the voters are racist when voting for the acting awards, Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #28

I'm not sure where you get that idea from. fishwax Jan 2014 #29

Also, Alfonso Cuaron won for director. McQueen didn't win an individual award fishwax Jan 2014 #47

Ooh, 1 nonwhite face !!!! marmar Jan 2014 #39

So anytime awards are handed out, every racial group should be represented Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #42

In a just world, that would happen naturally. marmar Jan 2014 #43

In every single awards show, every year? Nye Bevan Jan 2014 #44

Actually how do you compare sports to acting. vaberella Jan 2014 #46

Is it your position that Hollywood in general has treated African American artists merrily Jan 2014 #55

His position is to deny racism and claim reverse racism at every opportunity. morningfog Jan 2014 #61

If so, he is far from alone, even on this board. merrily Jan 2014 #63

Wow. You are unbelievable. Fucking unbelievable. morningfog Jan 2014 #52

Deleted by author. Other posters already made the point. merrily Jan 2014 #54

I think if they had included one African-American in the collage, the point would be stronger. morningfog Jan 2014 #62

Hollywoodland is still very pale....but the Golden Globes are coming from the perspective of the MADem Jan 2014 #2

FFS - is Kanye West writing for Salon now? exerpt: kelly1mm Jan 2014 #3

It's an opinion piece, so the author's opinions are the point of the piece. merrily Jan 2014 #57

I thought they only gave them to golden people. NCLefty Jan 2014 #4

"Hollywood" does not vote for the Golden Globes ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jan 2014 #6

Chiwetel Ejiofor should have won best actor, imo RainDog Jan 2014 #8

Agreed. And Lupita Nyong should have won. Hands down. Many people are upset about that. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2014 #21

Agreed. She was also great RainDog Jan 2014 #48

Don Cheadle won last years Golden Globe for House of Lies SummerSnow Jan 2014 #10

Why do they have FIVE FUCKING shows to give out the same FUCKING "honors"????? madinmaryland Jan 2014 #12

Hollywood? The winners are chosen by The Foreign Press. JaneyVee Jan 2014 #15

I wonder if the author actually watched any of those shows NV Whino Jan 2014 #16

Breaking Bad was a throwaway because it ended. ScreamingMeemie Jan 2014 #30

I think Breaking Bad was outstanding RainDog Jan 2014 #49

I watched the original House of Cards, too. NV Whino Jan 2014 #50

I may have to give it another try RainDog Jan 2014 #64

Who does this person think votes for the Golden Globe awards? cthulu2016 Jan 2014 #18

Regardless of who votes, more people of color need to win US awards more often, IMO. merrily Jan 2014 #58

Lupita Nyong should have won that award. Period! She had be bawling in the theater. She was amazing! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2014 #19

Weak. n/t Comrade Grumpy Jan 2014 #24
