Conservatives Complain There Were Too Many Black People At ‘Racist’ Oscars

[big_dog]

The response by conservative cultural and political writers to the subject of race and gender at last night’s 87th Academy Award ceremony was, to put it lightly, less than ideal.

Breitbart Hollywood’s Editor-at-Large John Nolte, for example, aimed to prove that liberals are the real racists by tracking every time anyone applauded anything related to the film Selma:

Nolte wasn’t the only conservative to notice that these Academy Awards were all about race:

Every time camera was pointed toward audience.. All I saw was Oprah’s racist POS in view… Worthless TV show #Oscars2015 #AcademyAwards

Some conservatives even hijacked the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag to make some casting suggestions:

When racism failed, conservatives had some other old saws to rely on. National Review‘s Jonah Goldberg apparently didn’t get Reese Witherspoon’s memo that people should focus on more than a woman’s appearance, as he spent much of the evening commenting on exactly that:

Comic Larry the Cable Guy couldn’t help himself either:

Basically, they just weren’t very happy about women who speak:

Conservative film critic Debbie Schlussel was a little more politically pointed in her criticism of the evening’s festivities:

As the previous tweet indicates, she was particularly upset when anything related to Selma or Common and John Legend appeared on screen:

As Raw Story documented, conservatives are not happy about American Sniper losing out to Birdman for best picture, but as one sage individual on Twitter noted:

surprised to see it on DU.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

just rude and racist

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Feb 23, 2015, 02:26 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I won't say it's rude and racist. I will vote to hide because it's threadjacking. The thread isn't discussing BigDog's view on race; it's discussing an article on the topic. More generally, alcibiades mystery's schtick is, IMO, getting old.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Are we banning Raw Story stories now?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am a little confused. It does seem like alcibiades_mystery is asking a question, quoting only the title of the article that the opening poster linked to. I'm not sure why, exactly. The "YOU" in caps is perhaps a little snarky but why not just answer the question? Or ignore it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
