Reply #28: We actually discussed Shaft some this evening...

I wondered in a post if some of the more conservative members of society (from both parties--lol) were outraged that a black man dressed in chains of bondage (symbolically) won for best song. I can only imagine the uproar about that. How dare this man win best song, when he talks through almost most of the song, it's long--very instrumental, and considered r&b/funk...what is the world coming to? :eyes:

I agree, it is disheartening to feel your rights are wedge issues to other progressives that haven't had the great misfortune to be born a woman, with brown skin or gay.

They let them make their little movie...why do they need something like THAT to win an award?! :sarcasm:

Maybe Hollywood will come around when they actually allow gay people to portray gay people in film and on tv. Then again, maybe not... :eyes:
