Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Why won't the press mention this?. Really deflates their theory that there is a giant white conspiracy to deny oscars to blacks.

That the academy awards is run by a black woman so all this talk about a GIANT WHITE CONSPIRACY to deny oscars to blacks is obviously false.

She doesn't decide who wins. She is a public relations executive.
The Academy is a voting body of about 6000 members.
Many are members for life. They decide who wins.

The only decent film with a black actor in last year was Beast Of No Nation, it's shocking that it received no nominations especially Idris Elba.
 
Nobody seems to be asking why Hispanics get so few nominations compared to blacks?

An analysis of Oscar selections since 2000 suggests that the imbalances are industry-wide, not primarily to do with Academy voters. And they affect all ethnic minorities. Oscar nominations have not dramatically under-represented black actors. Instead, they have greatly over-represented white ones. Blacks are 12.6% of the American population, and 10% of Oscar nominations since 2000 have gone to black actors. But just 3% of nominations have gone to their Hispanic peers (16% of the population), 1% to those with Asian backgrounds, and 2% to those of other heritage (see chart).
