      Chris Rock is the Oscars last black hope, Really, i use to like chris, until I saw and heard his racist comments towards whites, No this is just another black privilege, if we scream loud enough will get what we want, Shame on all of you, they’re a lot of Great black actors and your actions just cast shadows over them and all they’ve done, not everyone Wins or get’s selected for a award, Whites, Hispanic, Asian, etc, your crying and whining is a same and dis grace to All Actors, Grow up, if you think you need a prize for your work, you need Help, the real prize is sharing your fruits and labor for all to enjoy, on the Big screen and off.
