Sly Stallone Snubs Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson, you know the main people who helped make Creed a success...

So Sylvester Stallone got nominated for best supporting actor in a drama for Creed.  

No lie, Stallone earned it, put in some of the best work of his long career, at least in a long number of years.  But let me be perfectly clear, Stallone doesn’t get a nomination without Ryan Coogler, the writer and director of Creed. 

Coogler did the unthinkable when he made the long-a-hot-mess Rocky series relevant again and he performed what some Catholic priests would call a major miracle by making Rocky Balboa more than a pop culture punchline for the first time since the Reagan administration.  Seriously, Creed is a great movie

and this is coming from someone who said “fuck this shit” when I saw Clubber Lang in the previews for Rocky III

I pity the fool, indeed. 

So, Stallone wins the Golden Globe and he gets up to the podium and commences to thank everybody that was involved with the original Rocky, it seems like and…doesn’t say anything about Coogler and Michael B. Jordan (who was the Creed in Creed)

WTF Sly?

What a fuck up, bro…whoa hold up, this just in, I guess Sly did give Coogler and Jordan some love after all:

But it appears Stallone corrected his mistake — the cameras just didn’t catch it.

 According to reports from inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Stallone returned to the stage during the commercial break to thank Coogler, Jordan, and Tessa Thompson for “doing all the work” in Creed: 

During the commercial break…

Fuck that during the commercial break ish. Coogler should have been the main person on your list, hell I’d might say he should have been ahead of your wife! She didn’t write Creed, she can come in second. 

GTFO Stallone and you better not forget Coogler at the Oscars, dude!

Sly Stallone was ALSO caught calling a Black paparazzo a “n*gger” riiiiiiight in front of TMZ’s cameras a couple years ago, soooooo he’s no friend to us coloreds.

1965 is  Modern history, not “ancient history”.

[blackphoenix77]

1965 really wasn’t that long ago….

[gregswyn]

It’s over so it’s history get over it.

[blackphoenix77]

EXCUSE YOU?

We’re still suffering from the legacy of discrimination and slavery TO THIS DAY, so no, we can’t just ‘get over it.’

Jesus fucking Christ….

[invisiblelad]

And more to the point, my parents are 63 fucking years old. They’re still alive and were old enough to have experienced every bit of the inhumanity that was jim crow era segregation. It’s not “ancient history” its their actual not very distant past. 

You have zero right to tell anyone how to feel about their systematic disenfranchizement, past present or otherwise. The effects of being denied access to careers, equal representation and higher education are still being felt generationally, for example. None of the Jim Crow era happened in a vaccum and it’s painfully myopic to pretend otherwise. 

It’s not that we can’t get over it, its that we’re not going to. It happened, it flies in the face of a good chuck of American values, and yet people like you would just as soon have people “get over it” and not learn anything. Congrats then on being be part of the problem.

“It’s over it’s history get over it”????

“It’s over it’s history get over it”????

THIS WOMAN IS STILL ALIVE.

Amelia Boynton Roboinson is STILL AN ACTIVIST. RIGHT NOW.

GET OVER IT?????

ARE YOU GOING TO TELL HER THAT?

You can read an amazing interview with her here:

The problems still come from the racists — the Ku Klux Klan. They’ve whitewashed themselves. They don’t call them [the Klan] anymore, but they are still there. You know the Tea [Party]. They would not be doing the things they are doing if [Obama] had not been of color. It’s ridiculous. I believe they’re beginning to see the light, but it’s tough.

[knowledgeequalsblackpower]

They don’t call them [the Klan] anymore, but they are still there.

Leonardo DiCaprio honors Native Americans in Globes speech

Leonardo DiCaprio went home with the gold Sunday night for best actor in a drama film. As he wrapped his speech, DiCaprio took a moment to honor the Native Americans depicted in The Revenant. Twitter loved his speech just as much as the roaring audience, to say the least. 

[talesofthestarshipregeneration]

Now if he could just stop hiding the Black women he messes with from the public eye….

Withdrawing while black is a crime now. He’s lucky to be alive. Hate it!
