"Dear Minorities: You're not good enough on your own to accomplish anything of merit. So we, the academy, are going to grant you a place at the table just because of the way you look. We know that you're too weak, too stupid to recognize this as blatant patronization and will gladly accept our magnanimity with a grateful smile like the good little boys and girls you are. You're welcome."- The Academy of Arts and Sciences
Does everyone have the same start in life? Does everyone have the same support system in life? Does everyone have had to face the same discrimination, the same perception in life? And over generations? And have we thought of the compounding affect of these over the years?
@@hoxtondean9855 skin colour or sexuality should not get you bonus points or sympathy stars. Im only 5,7 and white so the chances of me playing in the nba are zero. The nba is majority very tall black men. Should short arses like myself start to demand equality and say we want 50% of players to be of 5ft 5 and less ?. Or demand the NFL have to employ 5ft 5 100 ilb asian men as linebackers ?. Lets remake the classic film SHAFT with a white skinny gay man in the lead role and see how "liberals" would react.
Dean Ismail Do people of the same race have the same starting point? No. Your argument is complete dogshit. You want guaranteed outcome because of envy.
It’s Saturday morning 6AM as I’m posting this, headed to work for a 10 hour shift....you coming with me to get this money? Bet you wouldn’t. Bet you’d still be in bed dreaming about other people’s shit that they actually worked for.

When I was growing up, we were taught that color shouldn't matter. Now we've come full circle, and it looks like for certain things; color is all that matters.
:helmut:
You might just discovered the horseshoe theory in all its beauty...
"Race shouldn't matter" is Liberalism. Color is all that matters is Leftism. Not at all the same. In fact those two philosophies have been in conflict with each other since the 1700s.
Nobody in the audience got the irony of remaking Schindler's List
I think they were just too surprised how fucked up the premise is.
If they did remake it all the Nazi's would be orange.
Best line in this video
@@slimpickins09er87 oh I see what you did there 🙄. Cause the "Trump people are Nazis"- said the person with the closed mind.
I see a lot of people here thinking that when he mentions “Schlinder’s list” and asks about the irony, and no one in the audience gets it, that he’s referring to a remake of the movie. That’s NOT what he implies here at all. What he means with the analogy is that the Academy is branding people on ethnicity, race, disabilities, etc..., JUST LIKE THE NAZIS DID.
I'm a huge Bill Maher fan. He's usually right (IMO). This time, he's SUPER right. I hate what society is becoming (or has become). This "woke" culture is sickening. Just look at how everyone at the Oscars gave Will Smith a standing O for winning after he assaulted Chris Rock!! I cannot believe how f__ed up this society is. IMO, it's disgusting and is total Bull__ it!!!
Bill’s audience is so woke, they’re confused when to clap/cheer on anything that touches race.
COVID-19 got them confused
Yeah, pretty much. You can see it took them a while to put together what he was saying about Schindler’s List...
They're so confused because none of this bs makes any sense.
The entire crowd chose the wrong side that's why.
Gibson got a few laughs...
The left has gone so far left that Bill now sounds like a conservative.
Theyll try to find a way to cancel him at some point if another rational thought comes out of his mouth.
Right!?!
Right? I’m actually a moderate but now, according to them, I’m far right!
I was scanning the comments to see if someone else said it first
My thoughts. If you listen to Obama's Sept 2012 U.N address, you'd swear he's a Rep.
Bill: "...does anybody see the irony in that?"
Bill's ignorant audience: No clapping.
Bill: "Apparently not."
Bill's ignorant audience: clapping out of fear of being caught.
Haha the joke took me a second listen to understand 😂
Well, at face value the joke had a flaw - being Jewish is not a race, it's an ethnicity. :) Still hits home, though.
sometimes it takes a while to catch something
@RemoveKaBOB Square Pants is there anyone you don't hate? Genuinely asking because at this point, you seem so angry you wake up only to tell yourself to die every morning
Right. Whoever wrote that joke was 100% on point. Nazis were killing people strictly on their ancestry/race. The academy is choosing films...on their racial makeup? The root idea is the same...choose/exclude XYZ because of racial/ethnic makeup. But for the far left, it's ok to discriminate against cis white men, because that's not really bigotted.
Wtf are they suppose to do if they wanted to make castaway today?! "Is your film diverse enough?" "Well there's...a ball...does that count? No? I guess we'll have to recast Tom Hanks then."
Tom Hanks, poster child of a white privileged dude, should be axed then, right? And Wilson (the ball) is too white. They'd better ban the movie now and bring in a basketball instead. It's brown
Volley ball is too white. It should have been a soccer ball. Mixed race.
The inverse of this joke is Paul Mooney on the chappele show. "Hollywood got it all wrong. The Mexican starring Brad Pitt. The last samurai starring Tom cruise. I got an idea for a movie: "The Last Nigga on earth, starring Tom Hanks" 😂😂😂
Well said
I am a indian myself but what you said makes sense. Diversity alone being a criteria is just plain stupid
Honestly it sometimes feel like the “anti-racists” are the ones that are the “racists” ones. I prefer to be treated based on my merits, my virtues, my character. Not because I am Asian with a speech impediment.
It was based on merits, but that is now deemed racist and has been for a long time.
Yeah people who are OBSESSED with race are racist. KKK was pretty obsessed with race, now its the sjw liberal weirdos.
gee where have we heard that before or something like it,, oh right MLK
I always say the left should look in the mirror when they calling everyone else nazi's and fascist
Sometimes?
They definitely are racist.
"Thank you, one guy."
😂😂😂😂
and he was faking it. bad when your obsequious crowd turns on you. they clap for everything.
That was probably the guy who wrote that line....
Yeah, he's losing it.
@@stevenbrock528 your half right lol
Wow, first time I’ve fully agreed with this man. Thumbs up.
My sentiments exactly
I'll say bill is as liberal as they come but he's been pretty consistent in his support for free speech and distain for woke culture. I used to view him as radical, but I'm starting to think of him as an old school Democrat
@Darin Fry he is definitely an old school democrat but still loses me when he does things like bash on someone catholic religion in America.
@@graysonthacker7205 I'm catholic and yeah his views on religion are pretty harsh.
@@darinfry1543 same here, but hey, atleast he isn't as radical as the majority of media
“People don’t want to be hired because they filled a quota, they wanna be hired because they’re good.”
I’ve been on the receiving end of this horse hit. Bill is 100% correct.
A lot of people, ''whites'' included would be happy for any ''given'' good job. Only a minority of ALL ambitious people would feel somehow unfulfilled if ''privileged''. Kamala H. was chosen for her coloured female genitals. She does not feel bad at all about her '' given'' top job''. Anyone can see she is not up to the most important job in the world.
I'm calling for more diversity in Basketball: not enough 'whites' in the top teams. By populaiton tthere's clearly a disparity which should be artificially rectified through racially based quotas.
There's a few all black colleges, in ethnic disparage too.
@Lee Boyd and they are called the all blacks?
Actually for the fun of it we should demand ALL LGBTQT people are also represented in professional sports just like all other jobs
Too shay
I get the joke but I was just talking about this. Nobody wants to see an NBA with even racial representation.
Hollywood has lost it. Give awards to those that deserve it the most. It's not about race or sex etc. It's about quality of work.
Hollywood used to be a way for great artists to gather and become financial successes in a free market with lots of big investors taking risks on young visionaries. Nowadays all the ideas are played out, the audience aware of tropes and meta-meta-meta commentary. It's not shocked or surprised by anything and has a thousand references to compare each idea with similar ideas. Nothing is fresh and so only sequels are being produced. Conformity to the Chinese market while totally failing at virtue signaling to the US public is not only pathetic, it's basically open treason and a declaration of war against western values in favor of socialist capitalism. The fuck is happening? Have the chinese already won? Sometimes I think the war has ended a few years ago and we have capitulated in secret.
The only race being held back IN PRINT (with legally binding contracts) is white people. Whether it's at award shows, jobs, schools, anywhere. It's always a white person who has to give something up, and it's all in WRITING so PROOF is readily available.
Anyone who still believes this is fantasy I can show you the legal documents surrounding affirmation action programs. I can show you the documents for how schools select students for university. Bill Maher just showed you the documents for how Hollywood selects movies for awards.
@@taekwondotime No disagreement here. Affirmative action is systemic racism.
@@Dominian1 Thanks for the input. Good stuff.
@@taekwondotime Only white people? What about Asians? They're the ones mostly affected by Affirmative Action.
I don’t agree a lot with Bill, but credit where credit’s due - he nailed this one! Logic & commonsense 🤷♂️
Well lately he's sick and very tired of liberals. Not his generation of liberals but the idiots we have out in the streets today. Hes fed up with it
agreed
@keecefly terrible reasoning
keecefly let’s impose quotas on NFL, NBA, WNBA, and women’s tennis and see how you like that by YOUR poor logic and reasoning!
@keecefly First of all, probably shouldn't start off your retort with faux pet names intended to exude an (I assume?) superiority complex. It betrays your inability to participate in intelligent debate without devolving into personal slights. Discord doesn't and shouldn't need to hinge on insults. I can only assume the origin point you had here was to converse or dissuade differing opinions, but devolving into personal attacks on your second post all too clearly illustrates your inability to separate point from passion, and really makes it difficult to take you seriously. "😶"
I wish more ppl were as agreeable as bill . I don’t always agree with him nor would I like to but he makes disagreements healthy again and it’s beyond refreshing
This video didn't have enough deaf black lesbians in wheelchairs.
And now i finally have the name for my punk band, thank you
or polynesian homosexual dwarves on crutches.
My fav genre of porn
When 5 decades ago during the first Equal Opportunity legislation my employer gave me the job of recording the data. The CEO joked that to improve our numbers he would be glad to hire a female black wounded disabled lesbian Vietnam vet because we could count her 5 times. Our society has improved a lot since then, but still our "CEO" (ex-president) gets wink-and-nod approval to grab women by the pussy, and 74 million people voted for him anyway. Go figure.
Name a deaf black lesbian in a wheelchair? I've never seen one that I am aware of.
So basically getting an Oscar nowadays is equivalent to a participation award.
You get an award just for not being white, I guess
It's like the Special Olympics of the screen.
Always has been.
Yes; pretty much the same goes for the Pulitzer as well.

“People don’t want to be hired because they filled the quota.” - Preach!
People want to be hired period. Kind hard to be hired if people don't make an effort to look for talent where they normally don't. Fuck isn't that the point of most feel good movies of poor kids who were ignored because they weren't given the same chances?
That's the dumbest excuse ever.
Its intention is to expand and consider talents beyond an existing discrimating power structure.
Same surface argument against equity in a democracy because of the myth of meritocracy and American exceptionalism.
Youboreme No. I choose “value me as a person” every time. If someone hired me because of my race and not my worth, they are racist.
Tell that to Hattie McDaniel.
If all things were equal, I'd completely agree, but they're not.
@Christopher Cooper good for you. and while I have your participation award all ready to go. Perhaps you might consider this... It's not cause of their skin colour they get the job. its cause they can do the job they get the job. And all those affirmative actions you hate so much are a counter measure against the implicit biases that run rampant. Like how you are unlikely to get a job if you had the same cv as a guy with a white sounding name.
"People don't want to be hired because they fill the quota", love it.
Ray Fisher was in the Justice League, because he hits 2 birds with stone. He is black and he has a pout of steel that can make Naomi Campbell insecure and Madonna get more botox on her lips that the cast of Sex And The City 2.
only if they are skilled and worked hard for it. the lazy untalented ones love shortcuts like that instead.

I Cannot be more agree with this man: When Culture becomes a cult, and creativity needs political approval, as Humanity we have lost our way...
We're headed to be Nazi Germany 2.0. When people ask how the cult of Nazism took hold, take a good look at what's happening here right now. Now, all we need is the leader to spark the keg.
AMEN!
Politics and Culture are now one and the same. Dividing the ideals is power, and combining them is war. Understanding both as seperate values is growth.
Bill is spot on. Schindler’s List wouldn’t even be nominated because the cast is the wrong race according to the Academy. Isn’t that ironic. A movie about the horrors of racial identity would be shunned by Hollywood because of the race of the people in the movie. Quotas are the death of creativity.
Jews aren't Caucasian. So they count as a minority. They flip flop between white and minority whenever it benefits.
@@tdestroyer4780 precisely
Ok sure, it wouldn't have made the cut but why not focus on the future? We can easily have more diverse films that are just as impactful. Society will continue to change and we need to get with the program.
@Gerry C Jewish Americans being left out in Hollywood needs to stop. also, they need more representation in porn, banking and law.
The Movie Hangout can you imagine taking Art class in college while trying to teach kids to express themselves creatively while also slamming a bunch of minority regulations into their own art?
90% of the audience is woke. The strained laughter. Bill, push through it. You’re not afraid. Love you.
Except for 'one guy's LOL!!!
his audiences are a bunch of dipsticks
It might be that he's just not funny.
His Klobuchar joke was quality though.
I'm confused. Does 'woke' mean that you believe in covid? Or that Biden won the election? My understanding of the use of the word is opposite. To me, 10% of the audience is woke, the other 90% are just sheeples thinking they're in the Colbert studio.
@@jamesneary663 I mean 90% of the audience are “woke-tards”. Liberals. Ultra liberal. Lenin called them “useful idiots”.
When he said
“Best picture should be called Most Worthy.”
The lack of applause, then that stare at the crowd Bill gave like, “are you f***in serious?” 😂😂😂
That last part hits home for me. Back in university some of my classmates overheard the higher-ups complaining that there weren't enough minorities in our program. Hearing this, while already dealing depression and feelings of worthlessness, I couldn't help but wonder "did I only get accepted because of my foreign name? Maybe I wasn't actually good enough." Getting into such a competitive program had been a moment of pride at the time, but to this day I wonder if I actually got in on my own merit or just because my parents aren't White.
It is not yours to feel bad about, yet for those whose choices they themselves allow to be diluted with bias, favor bias or cancel bias included (hey an accidental pun!) My brother checked the "black" box on his application to Ryder College in NJ, way back in 1973 - very vivid times for causes, mostly- and he is mostly Ladino Gypsy, Sephardic, mostly like me, same mom, so he also is 1/2 white, I pass, so it's alright. I take issue now and then, yet only if I slip or feel any good can come of it. My brother did get his full "quota based acceptance" with grants for such the same. It was that he threatened to sue the school if they were biased, just because he checked the wrong box!
Don't feel bad. You had no control over it.
You tell us...how were your grades? Be honest. If your grades don't seem to have qualified you for the program, then you were picked as a token.
If course you only got in to meet a quota
@@mitchd949 Overall my average was 75, I think I ranged between 65-89 depending on the class.
That Schindlers List joke hit right on the money!
Too bad bill’s seals couldn’t grasp it.
The audience just can’t believe what they’re hearing, they have no idea when he’s joking or how they should respond!
That's what I like most about the show. These partisan idiots being presented by their own kind with their hypocrisy.
Probably not a lot of people there though.
@@Hannibal082 Yeh I realized that later....lol....
Julie W.
Certainly not all of us.
Julie W. I think that they don’t actually feel guilt. They have big egos, and they get off by trying to upstage each other over who is the most woke. Then they look down on others who won’t take the pandering to minorities as far as them, resulting in their self-righteousness being satisfied.
All this “white privilege” stuff is nonsense anyways. Work hard enough and anyone can achieve what they want in this day and age. Don’t complain about the past, focus on the present and future, work hard, take care of your family. That’s why Nigerian immigrants do vastly better in America than Black Americans who have been here for several generations. They focus on a close family unit, are religious, and promote working hard, taking multiple jobs if necessary, doing whatever it takes to build a bright future.
Bill Maher calling hollywood too liberal. The sky really IS falling.
The Schindler's List joke hit way too close to home for the liberals in the audience, at that moment they realized their behavior is more in line with Nazis than they previously thought.
Soft bigotry of low expectations.
Yeah if they understood it.
I was like 'how the heck did they miss that schindler line???'

*terms and conditions apply
Being honest, most movies on the past 20years already qualify, if you look closely the requarements are not that hard to follow, like in the diversity requirements you don't need the main cast to be diverse you only need the crew/producers and 30% of the extras and secondary cast to be, only need 2/4 of the requarements are needed there not all, most big studios already qualify. Movies like the Irishman would qualify because of the few women excutive in high position, the staff that have minorities, the only ones that would have a hard time are smaller indie studios
Defund Hollywood.
@@Sassol66 Ok, then stop watching movies at all, no going to the cinema (whe open), no buying DVD/Blurays, no Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime, Disney+, Apple TV, not even watching movies on TV. Only pirate it from now on, even if the good quality stuff take months to get there, but even your internet in The USA is owned by media companies (Warner/AT&T, Comcast), so you have no escape.
@@Sassol66 But if you have another Idea of what it means then explain it.
Napoleon • we shouldn't conflate artistic integrity with diversity. It is ridiculous to compare "forced" diversity in a movie with what took place during the Civil Rights movement. Do you think the black students who were forced upon the university felt degraded? No. They were proud to finally be given the opportunity for higher education that they deserved all along. They also had to fear for their lives.
If you think Kamala Harris feels degraded because you think she was chosen to meet a quota, your sadly mistaken. She has been given the opportunity to prove that a woman of color can do the job; there's no doubt she can.
I worked at an historically black university and their were racist attitudes by blacks and whites, but mostly everyone was appreciated for their abilities and work ethic. Funny how that happens when you finally have a diverse population and get the opportunity to see we are all members of the same race, the human race.
His super liberal audience is experiencing cognitive dissonance throughout this segment lol
yup, and its absolutely hilarious.... he's gonna get cancelled soon n then he'll finally learn
I honestly think he would have flipped and became a Trump supporter if there wasn’t already animosity between the two.
What you Cons never seem to get is that Bill doesn’t have an Ultra Liberal audience. He’s too controversial and rough around the edges for them. His audience is for Democrats that are Left of Center and even Moderates. In other words...Smart people.

The Schindlers List joke was a great, smart joke. I don't know if the audience was afraid to laugh or if all of them just didn't get it. Either way, great joke

Bill's contempt for his own audience in these segments gives me life.
The entire cast of Schindler's List was white. It wouldn't win anything now.
Same with The Godfather
A movie about white people all played by non-whites. Must win!
It's much broader than you think. Schindler's List would absolutely Still be included with the new rules because "Jewish" people fall under the banner of a Racial or Ethnic Group... As btw do most subsections of White Americans.
@@MarcelFigtrees I haven't seen either of the 2 movies if I'm being honest But I can say fairly easily that only about 6% of the country is Catholic so The Two Popes would definitely Not be excluded. I'm only assuming that the Irishman has something to do with an actual Irish man or Irish ancestry so that would also be included since Only about 10% of the population has Irish ancestry.
@Rob Melrose Certian groups ARE underrepresented. I see this as an Attempt to get them more representation rather than a bid to oust CIS White Men... (wtf is CIS btw?). Clutching your pearls while ignoring decades of exclusion and warping it into some kind of personal attack on you and your peers it a bit counteproductive. If you have a better idea, then it's probably best to focus your energy on getting it out there Before you go shitting on the one we already have.
The Oscars are so boring. Just a bunch of entitled people stroking their own egos.
What do you expect it's an awards ceremony. They used to have an opening act which was entertaining from time to time i.e. Hugh Jackman in 2009 but now no one in Hollywood is woke enough to be allowed to host the show.
I'm a 33 yr old movie buff. I grew up loving the oscars and stayed up until 6am on a monday morning every year, just to watch all of it. I did that since I was 13 and I have to say that as a real fan of that shitshow, I'm sick that these fucking preachy types took over the show. It's meaningless, but in the age of Streaming and Chinese corporate cocksucking, the American Elite is unable to provide meaningful art anyways. It's like a US version of Bollywood nowadays.
@@CraigBickerstaff -- I enjoy the opening monologue, and there's always one musical number that really nails it.
If you're making a film with an Oscar in mind then you're no artist.
100%! Best comment here.

Has winning an oscar ever had something today with art? Most Hollywood productions are simply made for making money. imho the osar had never anything to do with art. They were always made to satisfy a broad audience and are carefully made to not upset anybody. Real artist never do this. Real art gives a f*** about other people's opinion and have often caused outrage from various groups. Which can lead to important social debates or to (more often nowadays) get cancelled. It would be great to have more diverse and controversial hollywood movies but 1.) that has never been their goal and 2.) they don't do it now because they really think that arts lives from diverse perspectives, they do it because they are afraid of being the "old, white, bad" guys. They have been praised by millions all their live and now they are literally afraid of losing this privilege. So let's hire some n*** and show the worl how good we are...
@@7reever You too should watch Schindler's List, The Color of Water, or any of the other movies he cited.

I caught that too. lol
He's a stage performer, first and foremost. You have no clue what you're talking about.

I died at Schindler list 🤣🤣🤣 the audience was too damn scared to laugh
Holy shit. This reminds me of Vought's marketing team in The Boys! Diversity is a meaningless concept if it's not felt but dictated.

...says the white guy. This rule is put in place because they had time to add diversity on their own and they didn't. So tough luck. And yes, it's a good time to do it, with all the social injustice going on in America. Who cares about your fake elections. Trump will win again because Putin will help him again.

Why should they? Nollywood exists, somehow. Bollywood exists, somehow. Global information network and infrastructure exists, so media can be effortlessly transferred.
It's almost like people who are interested in making "diverse" movies have already been making them for a long time. The only bunch that's left are the ones obsessed with doing nothing and telling others what to "add", instead.

I agree, Trump will probably win. I am so sick of this guy, there are no words for it. But "who cares" is never a good attitude, it doesn't help. Fact is: everybody _should_ care. That's the goal.

It really pains me to say this, but Bill Maher is actually starting to make sense
Imagine if Oscars said "if its only black people in the movie it cant get nominated" thats another story for feminists
But that is not what's happening here. It's a "straw man" argument. If that happens in a Black majority country, your argument is valid - but then I would say, it is not entirely negative to include other kinds of demographic in a black majority country. Also, being nominated is not the same as banning art making.
@@hoxtondean9855 i get whqt you tryna say
@@hoxtondean9855 Demographics has nothing to do with racism. Stop thinking this "new" distorted meaning is correct.
Dean Ismail his argument isn’t a straw man. A straw man is distorting or falsely representing a position and arguing that position. That’s not what is being done here the OP is making and analogy. He is comparing this situation to and another and applying his argument to that. The fallacy he is making is false analogy. A straw man would be if he said this was wokeness then defined wokeness in a untrue or unfaithful way.
To clarify I don’t think the OPs argument is a false analogy. I think it’s framed poorly. However if discriminatory practices are deontologically wrong then any practice that discriminated against any group is also wrong and his point stands.
@@ace448 Thank you for standing up for logic. Rationalism thanks you.

Ozzie Filmlover No, he’s right. His hatred of Trump has tainted his political instincts, so much that he’s thrown his own progressive principles under the bus.
@Lamar Scrotum I know I hate it when leftist scum reappropriate the word liberal. Liberals believe in individual freedoms and personal liberties over the tyranny of the state, which is incompatible with leftist ideologies. I am a small government liberal and because I am socially liberal when I was young I used to think I was a leftist, but I can't be a leftist while espousing personal freedoms and rights. This is where people need to attack the left. On their incompatibility between personal freedoms and the bloated bureaucracy of a welfare state.
That’s why derangement is more destructive than Covid
Ozzie Filmlover who tf says simp? Man you just sound like a sore loser and I can’t wait for a clean sweep in nov this year. Have fun with Trump2020
think the central problem is the tension between inclusion vs pandering.
Of course you want diversity, but when it's forced, all it is is pandering. You lose the ability to judge art or anything any other way
Speak
No, you do not want diversity. You want to reward excellent artists. If it's not diverse, then it's not diverse and that's it. The desire of diversity is inherently pandering.
I agree. Art can not come with rules, it defeats the purpose of creativity.
I think the real goal isn't even inclusion itself but to reward talent and great art; the real problem is how much we judge talent and great art is filtered by our biases, which undoubtedly include racial, gender, etc. biases. Have films made by black directors and filled with black actors historically just been less artistic with less talent? Or have organizations like the Academy just been filled with racially biased voters that ignored them? Certainly we can swing too far the other way and start demanding inclusion and creating virtue check lists as a way to combat these biases, but then it does indeed feel like pandering. What's the optimal solution though? I think just telling people "judge merit" doesn't work. Everyone says they agree with MLK yet we still see huge disparities between groups even in scientific studies where we control for other environmental factors. So if people left to their own devices doesn't work, and forcing quotas doesn't work, what does?

I'd argue that a lot of the winners (or nominees), especially for the typical categories (Best Picture, Screenplay, Director), are legitimately good films. does that mean that I agree with every one receiving the award. of course not. but imo the amount of actually bad movies receiving those accolades is very small.
Loved Bill's shoutout to "The King's Speech", which is my favourite film. He absolutely nails it in this segment about the importance of good art in films.
"I dream of the day when a man will be judged by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin"

MLKs speech needs to be played on loud speakers across the US 24/7. He's rolling in his grave over this BS. And especially how G Floyd has been compared to him. You can't get anymore disrespectful and delusional than comparing a life long criminal/addict with a long criminal record to someone as heroic and courageous as MLK.
Exactly the opposite of this "diversity requirement"

What amazing points you have introduced, when we out here are fighting a battle that has already been lost.
Unfortunately, I cannot stand for dictatorship in a talent earned industry of minds that have guided some of the most difficult moments in life.

Not really possible since they’ve never meant anything.
@Michael Anderson no shit? Wow, respect for him skyrocketed.
Have they ever since crash?
The Oscars lost meaning when the OscarsSowhite exposed the racial bias in the award, where mediocre films and performances where getting nominated with white people over great films directed with black lead characters. It showed the voters for the Oscars where 93% white and over 60, making it nearly impossible for films with non-white characters to get nominated because old white people only want to see films with white people. Ever since then the viewership for the Oscars has plummeted as people realise it is an old white people award and not a judge of quality.
The more sane Bill sounds, the more awkward and confused the laughter from his audience. You can tell half the time they're laughing/clapping because they know a punchline happened and they don't want to look like they didn't get it.
so correct...
Yea. That’s so fucked up. Wtf. 20 years ago the crowd would’ve been going nuts. Shame on those who don’t think this is hilarious. Aholes!
Bill is a realist. The truth always hurts someone. Life is not perfect.
"If you wanna make the next Schindler's List, the first thing you'll need to do is give a racial breakdown of all you employees. Does anyone see the irony in that?"

@UCuQmaXp69glREd700ckT3oA The point being that a powerful 19th century white man is perhaps not the best authority on the lives of 21st century people of any race.
Let's think about this.
Imagine that a movie stars a lesbian actress who has chosen not to let the world know about who she sleeps with.
Now, the production company want the movie nominated for an Oscar so they tell her "we have to tell the Academy about you being gay, is that ok?"
So the actress now have the choice of informing the world of her sexual orientation or missing the biggest career opportunity of her life.
How is that morally different from when gay actors did not dare to tell people they were gay in order to have a career?
That is so fuck...not fair on the actress at all.
Indeed. I think a lot of the "diversity is everything" crowd forgets that not all of us want to talk openly about our sexuality. I think part of this is because the idea of "personal privacy" seems more like a novelty. After all, people are putting out the most intimate details of their lives on social media every day, so why not tell the world your sexuality? It's really quite foolish as well as, potentially, harmful.
Lady Tsuki
Isn’t it ironic that Hollywood from it’s beginnings up till a few years ago felt exactly that way. During the ‘40s it was nobodies godamned business who Marlene Dietrich slept with. Only creeps and J. Edgar Hoover paid attention to those things. How far we’ve fallen.
@@Ckom-Tunes Yeah, that's very true. I also see that as a sort of micro view of society as a whole. Now, EVERYTHING is our business (or so we think). As a relatively private person (which gets me yelled at plenty heh), it's quite annoying. I don't want us going back to the bigotry we felt against homosexuals by any means, but us not focusing in on sexuality would be a welcome change.

Yep.
So True! 💯
Getting hired because you fill the quota is demeaning and dehumanizing for everyone involved.
And bad luck for the rest of us.
And you will never know whether you won it fair and square, which undermines your validity as an artist. You will always be left wondering
Wow, the left is getting so bad Bill is starting to sound like a conservative.
No they are getting so bat shit crazy and racist on the Far Left that he is finally looking like he is a more moderate person again, because for a few years he was pushing this Leftist nonsense. However he is still shitty for insisting we need an economic collapse.
Any white man who still voting Democrat is either on their payroll or is waiting in line for the guillotine. Also yeah thepsychomagus is right Bill helped create this monster now it's coming for him like he's Dr. Frankenstein.
That left you're talking about is asking for your vote in November. Biden is no moderate, and even if he was, Kamala is waiting in the wing to take his place to ensure the most radical left agenda is carried out. That's the real reason Pelosi is talking about the 25th Amendment. Biden will be the shortest serving US President in history, replaced by one of the most far left politicians in our government. The question everyone needs to ask themselves is, "Do I hate Trump enough to give this "left" the reigns to the entire country for 4 whole years?" You do know what that left will do with the country if they're given that much power, don't you? They'll insure they never lose that power, and talk about elections beyond 2020 will be a joke. There won't be any fair, honest elections. They'll flood the country and get millions of more votes just by bribing migrants. That country you remember growing up will be no more.
It's happened many times before throughout the world. The far left, socialism/communism screaming extremists we have in America are no less insane or capable of horrific acts against people, than the one's you've read about in history books. We CAN absolutely become the next chapter in some history book people read in the future, adding our country to the list of countries who've done things to their own people that seem almost unimaginable. And it always started with a false demonization of the nation, a branding of hatred for the other side driven by the media, and a shifting to "transforming" the country in the name of equality and justice. And what you end up with is the exact opposite. These people you think just want to ban plastic straws, will actually cheer if you're shot in the head in the middle of the street.
@Creepy Hair Sniffer I wonder what you mean by “pretends”. Do you think he only believes some of the stuff that he says? As if he gets more views and makes more money by faking his beliefs.
