The attack on free speech is becoming frighteningly brazen....attacking free speech is attacking free thought.....It is attacking the free exchange of thoughts and ideas...

There have been some very astute perspectives on the subject of reparations on this forum. I especially appreciate what The Honrabe said about including a clause requiring proof that those seeking eligibility for reparations actually identify as black ALL THE TIME. Not when it is convenient and...

No I wouldn't go that far and say that his actions alone hurt us in the eyes of whites. That was his reaction he has to live with it....the rest of us don't.

That's assuming that this was actually real. I am still on the fence about whether or not this was staged.

He still should not have gone Rogue like that. You don't just walk up on stage and slap somebody just because you don't like what they said. That could have been handled a lot more maturely such as him approaching Chris after the show to air out his grievance... you are correct in saying that...

Is this the first black production team for the Oscars? I admit I don't watch the Oscars I was only interested in it because of all of the controversy surrounding this incident. Will's reaction, in my opinion, just somewhat took away from the good job they did and the other firsts.

Nothing was wrong with the production it's just unfortunatel that this incident had to happen on their watch....that's all I am saying.

Okay thanks for that I didn't know he did that before; but yes I do agree that security would have definitely stopped him before getting on the stage. It just seems really strange to me that security did not escort him out....

I agree....especially since it was a black production team

Now THAT is the main question....would he have slapped a white comedian for that??? I am inclined to say NO, BUT if he had slapped a white comedian, I would bet that security would have had to make an appearance....just my opinion...

Exactly and that is indicative of bullying behavior...if you don't conform or think the way we say you ought, then you are to be demonized...

There. You hit the nail on the head...its about reducing our numbers...

Yes I agree...it makes me wonder further about the selection process....like will hostility towards black people be a prerequisite for gaining admission to this university? Also, someone on the thread mentioned families accompanying these students....

Yes I have scoured several articles on this issue online and all it says is that selected 50 to 100 students. I wonder how they are going about this selection process question what are the qualifications?

Yes sir!!! I have been really bothered and saddened by this...I have also inquired about where to donate monies to help our people but there are so many scams....

Looks like we'll get another opportunity to catch Jason Black's Saturday night broadcast tonight...

I have been searching to try to find a link to it but I cannot find it anywhere LOL I am a little pissed off about that!

Yep exactly. When I got home last night that thing was gone.....

I was wondering what happened to his broadcast last night I was looking forward to watching it when I got home from a play.

No I didn't know that..... not a surprise though. Our history and our presence in the world is always trying to be hidden.
