Attention my viewers,
Election time is coming up. Due to me being a convicted felon, I don't have the privilege to vote. But I do have a voice. We need a president who cares about US, the people, and the needs of the people. We don't need nobody who is selling the people anything they want to have, then get in chair to only do the opposite.

If I could vote, Hillary Clinton would be the one. She is sincere and pure. It doesn't matter that she is a woman. Actually, women can be very strong and firm. Look at who has the most backbone these days. Women, they will stand through any storm.

Now, guys, guys, don't take this personally as I'm stereotyping between genders. This is just my opinion. :)

Film Academy to Double Female Minority Members by 2020
Mrs. Cheryl Boome, Isaacs Film Academy president, says that despite the organization's internal efforts towards inclusion, a second year of all whites acting Oscar nominees made her think, "We need to step this up."

I fell people don't like the spotlight on them unless it's all good. Cheryl knew what she was doing by having all whites on the board. She didn't think nobody was going to cal her out. By adding three new seats to its board of governors, okay, you add three blacks. But you still have all the old members that are white. With the same mindset. That is not going to change nothing, even if they add three blacks.

Listen closely to me, who is boycotting the Oscars because of lack of diversity among nominees: In order for this diversity to fully enter, that whole board of governors is going to have to be broken down completely (start afresh). You might even have to get rid of the president. Mainly because she is a leader and she should have not allowed nominees like this, no way.

If everybody would open their eyes right now, Cheryl just gave everyone who is boycotting the Oscars enough to get them off her back. Come on, we are not promised to live till 2020. Adding three new board seats is not enough. Cheryl needs to break down that board completely and rebuild it by mixing up the races on the board. If she can do that. They need to get a new president and all new board members so that diversity can flow correctly.

Do not back down from boycotting the Oscars. Any other awards that does this, for so long the whites has been getting all the credibility for something blacks have done. If you look back in history (black history), there was a lot of blacks whom invented things. Instead, the white man got all the credibility. Any movie that is made takes team work. Everybody that made that film is important because each person played a part.

Come on, people, let's give honor where it is due. I am pretty sure that you want recognition for your work. These people who are boycotting want the same for their race. Every race matters. No one race is more important than the next. We all are special.

So Chery Boone needs to correct this ASAP. Stop thinking the blacks are slow. I am not. You need to break that board down ASAP. Get it right. 'Cause you playing games. 2020. For real. Come on. Three new seats. Come on. For real. That is stupidity.
