Everyone seems to have an opinion over the Oscars not
nominating any black people this year, but one nominee is sure to ruffle
some feathers with her comments on the matter. She weighed in on what
“forced diversity” really is, and there’s not going to be a single
progressive that will like what she had to say.
As Jada Pinkett-Smith, her husband Will Smith, Spike Lee,
and a myriad of other “celebrities” vow to boycott this year’s Academy
Awards, Charlotte Rampling has a completely different take on it all,
reports the
Daily Caller.
Rampling, like so many others, sees the inherent racism in what black
celebrities are demanding – forced diversity – and she actually believes
that it’s reverse discrimination against white people, because it is.
“It’s racist to whites,” Rampling said
Friday during an interview on the radio. “One can never really know, but
perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list.”
That thought hasn’t seemed to cross the small minds of those
outraged over the lack of black actors and actresses this year, even
though historically,
blacks have been well represented. Rampling, who’s nominated for Best Actress for her role in
45 Years,
also said that in no way should racial quotas be instituted to appease
the overly sensitive whiners who’ve made millions off the very people
they despise.
“Why classify people? These days everyone is more or less accepted,” she added.
She’s right too. I know I speak for millions of people when I
say the race of an actor doesn’t matter, it’s how well they play the
role. But alas, in today’s times of social justice and “fairness for
all,” we’re forced to consider race in just about everything we do.
“People will always say, ‘Him, he’s not as handsome,’ or
‘Him, he’s too black,’ or ‘He’s too white,’” she said. “But does that
necessarily mean there should be lots of minorities everywhere? What
does it mean that [black actors] still think they are a minority?”
Movies have become more diverse than they’ve ever been. In fact, a black man was cast as a main character in the new Star Wars
movie as a Storm Trooper, which was a first for the epic film series.
That’s just one example out of many too, since more and more people from
every ethnic background take the plunge and try to make it big in
Hollywood.
As far as what Rampling had to say – she’s dead on. The
social justice warriors seem to believe that in order to lift one group
up, another must be torn down, which is exactly what racial quotas and
other such things do.
So, kudos to her for speaking out, especially in a time when
doing so can cost people their careers. Perhaps if more people like her
were to bring sanity to the conversation, we could put this racism crap
to bed once and for all.
