Oh, here are the actors of color the Academy could have nominated!
It turns out, Oscar voters had plenty of performances by actors of color to choose from when filling out their ballots this year. All eight of these choices would have been just fine — but don’t forget about the one Star Wars fav.
People of Color? What Color are they?
Pretending the homeless in this country is less important than these so called refugees is UnAmerican.
Lol....this is hilarious

You have to understand, 80% of all so called Refugees are military aged men. I feel bad for those that are fleeing the violence there but, with them comes Terror
Your right! Illegal Immigration is
Oh i don't know.....it looks like a clock to me
Wait nevermind found out it was nicki but what did Miley say about her? Why is nicki so pissed? Miley seemed to handle being called out fine and made fun of herself. Why are they not getting along?
omg noooo are ya kidding me miley literally uses black people and their overall culture as a prop. of course nicki wouldn’t get along with someone like that and she has the right to be pissed about miley’s words especially because miley has shown herself to be trash over and over again and the media still praises her and makes nicki look like the villain when she rightfully calls people out on their bullshit.
Democrats been using Black folk like forever...but nobodu says anything bout them

Human Trafficking in Korea
A couple weeks ago, I traveled via subway into Itaewon to get a haircut. This area is considered to be hub for international visitors and residents, with offerings like burrito places, western-style bars, and foreign retail stores. I knew about a barbershop specializing in Black hair in the general area so I decided to do some exploring and (if lucky) eventually find the place. (More on the haircut in a separate post). To make a long story short, I ended up on a narrow street (running parallel to the main shopping avenue); there a Korean madam (pimp) in her 40s attempted to pander her women to me. She called after me and started following me, but I just said no and kept walking toward the main street until she was out of sight. Oddly enough (or perhaps not), prostitution house was within a block or two of the police station and within two blocks of a McDonalds.
One of the most striking things that I have noticed since coming to Korea is how large the sex trade industry is within the country. I’ve read that it makes up some 5% of South Korea’s GDP and that 1 in 25 Korean women are sex workers. The issue of prostitution is a troubling collision of Korea’s politics/economics (President Chung Hee, the father of Korean industrialization, encouraged the growth of the sex industry in the South Korea to generate revenue from US military), women’s rights issues (i.e. the right of women to control their own bodies), and Korea’s history with sex slaves under Japanese colonial rule.
During my trip to Jeju Island, I had another run in with the country’s sex trade industry. Three of my travel buddies and I went in search of a pub one night. We wound up down the street from our hostel and just off a main shopping path, a block from the McDonalds (sound familiar?). We heard this weird Korean country music emanating from one establishment; we investigated by descending the staircase and entering the lounge in the basement. The place was empty save for an ajumma (middle-aged woman) beckoning us to come inside and a handful of young women (some Korean and some not) who were all sitting down. The women stood up at once. I whispered to my Dutch friend’s ear that we needed to leave immediately. My friends were confused but we ended up leaving right as the women attempted to make conversation. This was a Korean juicy bar. These are places in which women encourage men to keep buying expensive drinks and later take the men off site to have sex. The women use the money to pay down a debt that often never decreases in size.
As a feminist, I am wholeheartedly against prostitution. But the moment in Jeju gave me pause. I thought about why I was so appalled at the fact that we had walked into a prostitution house, and why the others I was with seemed less phased by the incident. I then realized the significance of my being in the company of two Dutch guys and an Indian gentlemen. At the risk of making over-generalizations, the Dutch have generally more relaxed as attitudes toward prostitution (prostitution is allowed in the Red Light District, as one confirmed with me later). India, on the other hand, has had a history notoriously characterized by male hegemony (e.g. acid throwing and the rape of Indian women). Then I asked myself why the particular issue mattered so much to me. Prostitution (really sex slavery) brought to mind images of the dehumanizing acts that occurred during the holocaust of Black enslavement. Thus, I believe that our respective upbringings within separate cultures played a big role in determining our views on prostitution (cultural relativism).
So far my time in Korea has made me much more self-aware of who I am as a person. Having the chance to experience Korean life while also interacting with other international students has allowed to see how my outlook on the world compares with that of others. Although, I ultimately plan on sticking to my own moral/ethic code, I realize the importance of using moments like those described above to analyze larger, more deeply-seeded phenomena and to determine what my reactions to them say about myself as a person.
I was in Korea in the 80's with the U.S. Army. At first i never went to the ville (Itaewon). Then a friend introduced me to it. I have to say, any of the women that i encountered there appeared to enjoy what they were doing. I had lengthy conversations and yes paid for those expensive drinks. I always treated them with respect. I can also say being in their company made me feel better about being away from home. They were fun and intelligent. At first glance it looks bad to those who just look and then judge it but, there is a mode to that life. There are those who do it on their own ( going to bars to pick up a soldier for sex and yes many other things) then there are those who have a pimp that walk the street, i would suppose it's much a different case for them. Then there are those Korean and other girls that have lived a life of strictness and oppression from their own parents. These are the barmaids, comfort girls etc. that you encounter in the bars. I can say anyone i ever talked to in the two years that i was there have said they were there on their own accord and could leave anytime they wanted, ( which i witnessed on many occasions by them marrying my friends and leaving the country. They come there to experience what they think life is about or to be on their own away from the restrictions of their families. These are college graduated women too. Be advised , i appreciate your view and your personal feeling but, be careful before you completely judge it by suggesting it is the same as what happened with the holocaust and Black Slavery. I have three friends from that time who married and are still to those same women. Just say'n

why aren’t people talking about this anymore, its not over.
Because it’s been realized that you are all suckers of race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson …go figure. Let it go

Gawker is looking more and more pro-ISIS every day.
"Like, I mean they burned somebody alive, but like, these people did it first. Like, whatever."
Just because injustice was ignored in our past doesn’t mean we should ignore injustice today. Strive to be better than those that came before ourselves.
Dear Gawker:
ISIS thanks you for your unthinking and unquestioning support, but they’d saw your heads off if they got the chance, no matter how much you kiss their ass.
Dumbasses.
Once upon a time Christians had the Crusades, therefore ISIS genocide in the middle east is ok, get off your high horses. Once upon a time white Americans burned black people, therefore ISIS torture and murder is ok, get off your high horses. Once upon a time…
Our once upon a times were a long time ago, and things have changed. They are doing these things today, and they have been since the crusades, and long before white Americans started burning black people. If you are going to bring it up as a justification we had better still be doing it and it had better be good.
I have a hard time understanding why liberals, feminists, and homosexuals give so much support to a civilization renouwned for killing them…
So does that mean the holocaust was ok? What about Cambodia? Rwanda? Sierra Leone? Bosnia? The Congo? Sri Lanka? The Sudan? Kosovo? All mass genocide, all through ignorance, ignorance is not bliss all of these things happened in living memory, I have witnessed some of the most horrific things you couldn’t even begin to imagine in Kosovo. All because of religion and race. IT IS NOT OK on any level in any way. People are capable of amazing acts of kindness and humility but it is always out weighed by the evil that just a few will do.
How would anything I said make or justify genocide? Genocide is an evil, aweful, and tragic thing… people are using tragedies that happened a millenia ago, and a generation or more ago to paint a false narative. It does not excuse past sins, but hit me with my sins, not the dusty bones of ages past… ESPECIALLY if you are going to use it to compare or justify something happening in the present day…
I was not around back then and i believe the self righteous ass wipes that did these crimes should have faced the same fate. Time has changed, at least that is what we are working towards...hopefully......we can't change the past but, we should never allow this type of inhumane, cruel and barbaric action to go unchecked or unchallenged again. We are either part of the solution or part of the problem. To justify it by saying what someone did in the past is the same as what is being done right now ...well... Is part of the problem. Unfortunately force must be met with force for a time till peace can be seen. Stop comparing and start becoming part of the solution.
