    Mixed race black ladies are the best. My current favorite is the girl on game of thrones, Nathalie Emmanuel

    And here's why having Ms. CBI in charge of AMPAS is a big deal. After an emergency board meeting called Thursday night, Ms. Isaacs announced a new process to make things more diverse.

    "each new member’s voting status will last 10 years, and will be renewed if that new member has been active in motion pictures during that decade. In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three ten-year terms; or if they have won or been nominated for an Academy Award. We will apply these same standards retroactively to current members. In other words, if a current member has not been active in the last 10 years they can still qualify by meeting the other criteria. Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not pay dues but enjoy all the privileges of membership, except voting. This will not affect voting for this year’s Oscars.

    At the same time, the Academy will supplement the traditional process in which current members sponsor new members by launching an ambitious, global campaign to identify and recruit qualified new members who represent greater diversity."

    So, act or you don't vote or if you read between the lines, get rid of the old folks who they think don't like black actors and reward the "new generation" and encourage them to go out and find more. What's interesting to me is that there are 2 women pushing this agenda and yet it's women actors whose roles dry up as their vaginas do.

    That doesn't sound like a bad idea but, I couldn't care less, the only thing I watch the oscars for is to find out who died last year that I didn't know about, so I can say awwww I didn't know he/she died over and over again.
