And black folks are upset at the lack of nominations, calling it a white industry. They state they are tired of the differences in Hollywood, that black actors/actresses are treated differently. But let me ask this - wouldn't the separation of races continue, the longer folks push and highlight the separation and differences?
Can you even imagine if the Oscars came out and just stated it was a White Awards show? But what I was unaware of, during this whole time they are bitching about whites getting awards only... Apparently since 1967

NAACP Image Awards
An NAACP Image Award is an accolade presented by the American National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to honor outstanding people of color in film, television, music, and literature. Similar to other awards, like the Oscars and the Grammys, the 35 categories of the Image Awards are voted on by the award organization's members (that is, NAACP members). Honorary awards (similar to the Academy Honorary Award) have also been included, such as the President's Award, the Chairman's Award, Entertainer of the Year and The Image Award Hall of Fame.
