Appropriate. Oh, Hollywood, you wonder why your sales go down?
“This awards season, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is teaming up with Hollywood to lift up the stories of the 90 Americans killed every day by gun violence,” a press release from the campaign states. “On the red carpet, high-profile celebrities … will join the effort to shed light on the human cost of gun violence by wearing unique, hand-crafted bracelets that commemorate Americans killed or injured by gun violence.”
You know where I last saw Bryan Cranston?
Walking “restaurant row” in the Venetian Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas… during SHOT Show.
He’s also happy to point them at people, if he’s getting paid to celebrate violence and drug dealing on TV.
The arrogance that I need to be taught something because I'm white is what makes for more, not less, hostility between races.
I've been having some black folks and others tell me that I "need to learn" something for most of my life. Here's something "they" need to learn:
Go EFF yourself!"
And, yea, I think there is a point to be made - it is easy to get all up in someone's face about "racism," "sexism," etc, when you haven't been nominated. But, why didn't the vocal folks say/do something when they were nominated in the past?

@Lujlp,
It's the usual, upper middle-class, bored, spoiled-rotten adultchildren crying oppression, and the administrative authorities who enabled that attitude.
I honestly don't envy the ones in charge of their Social Studies Faculty right now.

And I know, I know the entire night club industry heavily relies on loud blaring music to make it impossible for a man to get to know a girl, but still enable him to buy her drinks.
I know.
But in the end, this bullshit will end. And here's the reason why.
Teh interwebz.
In addition to buttfucking the snooty east coast New York publishing houses with self publishing
and
In addition to ass-raping the arrogant west cost recording labels with iTunes and MP3's
the internet has now usurped the dating/meat market from night clubs and bars to that of online dating, social media, and just general digital flirtation.
I generally bring ear plugs in to a show with amplified music, just in case.

Charles, relax. Read the by line: Shaun King.
A faux commentary by a faux black man in a faux news paper deserves at most faux outrage. And before someone jumps in here and accuses me of white privilege, I'll remind y'all that I self identify as a transgendered woman of color.
Game. Set. Match. Also: I hope to live just long enough to see the NYDailyNews sold at auction from the courthouse steps to cover their debts.
Of course, he does; But, maybe he "needs to learn" that most white folks are getting tired of him and others always bleating on about race; and that's the real reason for viewership to be down.
Who wants to tune into a bunch of "holier-than-thous" lecturing you?

Deer UN: please STFU when it comes to lecturing oh pretty much anyone about anything.
Just once it would be nice to see a story come out about the United Nations peacekeeping forces in Africa (and elsewhere) which talked about them saving a woman from a mugger or rescuing a cat out of a tree. Instead, we keep seeing one instance after another of these so called keepers of the peace taking advantage of the downtrodden people they are supposed to be protecting. Most often these tales involve cases of raping children and bribing them with food to allow themselves to be abused.

Over the last year and a half the biggest threat facing America has been the Land Rover.
And the Department of Homeland Security stepped up to the plate by going to the homes of 40 owners and taking their rides away.

I'm wondering what these people did to piss off the Powers That Be. Incorrect political donations? tax write-offs? preppers?
I want to say Toyota was under investigation to determine how so many of their Landrovers and Toyota trucks ended up in the hands of ISIS.
Ah, here it is:
http://abcnews.go.com/International/us-officials-isis-toyota-trucks/story?id=34266539
I want to say one of the sources was...the US Government. We were buying Toyotas for use by the Iraqi government and many were captured.
