Oscars

[virgil tibbs]

I must say that I am the only one that thought
Poiter's speech was bullshit....you can take from my
screen name what I think of his work...he had a chance
to say what a cloistered little club hollywood was and
how not much had changed other than ther terms one
used for people who had darker skin pigmentation.  He
gave a gracious speech, I admit, but I was sorley
disappointed that he did not throw his considerable
weight into the ring...He could have said that tonight
is irrelevant, even if Halle and Denzel win that is
not what "it" is about. "It" is about who controls the
pursestrings and decides how african americans are
portrayed.  

Finally props to Randy Newman for saluting THE best
director in the world.  peace
