WHITE NIGHT AT THE OSCARS!




The White Man & His White Woman!!!


Yes, here we go again folks. After all the hype and the fact that our dear Queen Mother of the Stage & Screen, Civil Rights Activist and Humanitarian Ruby Dee has been winning awards left & right this awards season, and despite the fact that this is the first time in her long illustrious 50-plus year acting career the white-owned and operated Oscar Awards has even seen fit in their "infinite wisdom" (yeah right) to nominate her.....

SHE LOST.

To be quite frank I turned the shit on to see if the white man could do it twice in a row (allow a black to win an Oscar) and when I saw it was "business" as usual I hit the off button on the remote, turned over in my king sized bed and called it a night.

The movie "American Gangster" was a good movie. Mrs. Dee had a good part in the movie. However, as I reflect upon the great movie roles Halle Berry had previous to winning the Oscar for "Monster's Ball" and of course, the excellent movie roles our dear brother Denzel Washington acted in prior to winning the Oscar for "Training Day".... Am I really surprised Mother Ruby Dee even got nominated for the role she played as "Mama Lucas" in American Gangster over most of her, by far more stellar performances on film? NOT REALLY.

That seems to be the way it goes in Hollywood for blacks. As the following examples shows:

-Denzel loses the Oscar he was nominated for in the movie "Malcolm X" a strong black man uplifting his people and telling the truth about the white man, but wins an Oscar for playing a dirty lowdown rogue cop in "Training Day".

-Halle Berry loses several Oscars she should have been nominated for, for various movies she's made over the years, however, she wins the Oscar the moment she plays a single mother with a husband executed on deathrow. The white prison guard in charge of pulling the switch on her black husband, eventually, gets to taste the fruits of her naked black nectar, in a very explicit so-called lust scene which has Halle grinding, begging & screaming for that white man to take her and "make her feeeeel goooood"! Need I go on? No, I'm sure you get the point.

PITIFUL ON BOTH ACCOUNTS!!!

However, the fact still remains Mrs. Dee was gypped and the "Oscars" still and always will...
BELONG TO THE WHITE MAN!


BLACK POWER, EVERY HOUR!!!


BTW: Mrs. Ruby sure looks good for 83 years old doesn't she?
She's still elegant and gracious.
I always thought she had the most beautiful smile.

You're Still And Always Will Be A Winner With Us... Queen Mother Ruby Dee!!!
