I am so over this little they love us but hate situation we have with white people. At this point it is giving servant and master again and I hate it. Anway, I don’t know if I said this last year about the Will and Chris situation, but I am going to renter it for those of you who don’t understand the complexity of being honored by white society, but you can’t show your “black ass” for a lack of a better wording. As you saw at this year’s Academy Awards. Clearly Angela Bassett didn’t win for her role in Wakanda Forever and it was given to Jamie Lee Curtis. Don’t get it twisted, I love both of these women all the same but why? Both Angela Bassett and Jamie Lee Curtis are living legends and they both deserve awards for their work. The question is why put two deserving women against each other one and two why didn’t Angela Bassett get her Oscar for What Love Got to Do with It? My reasoning behind why Angela didn’t get her Oscar again is…. niggas acted the fool last year. As a black person myself, I have noticed a pattern when it comes to my people. It has always been different rules for us versus them. Anytime we do things they don’t approve of. The rest of us somehow get punished for that. Our punishment was Angela Bassett not winning an Oscar. I hate that this is how it is, but it is. Do you want to know why though? It is like this because our black asses are always looking for white approval. At this point it is not even white people fault!!! When your own people praise your for conforming into society. That is why The Oscars will be exalted and the BET awards will be seen as ghetto. This younger generation believes the lie that white is right and now. It is detrimental to our careers. It is nothing with associating with white people but when associate with white people and don’t acknowledge or discredit your black audience. That is when you have epically failed. Until we understand our value, we are always going to be used as an example of what happens when you act the fool.
