I can tell you one person whose not here for the BS in 2016....
Janet Hubert, most commonly known as the "dark-skinned Aunt Viv" from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air decided to unleash one helluva verbal assault against her ex co-star Will Smith and his wifey, Jada Pinkett Smith after hearing that the couple were planning to boycott the Oscars after Will got snubbed for a nomination.
She then decided to post a [hilarious] video addressing the issue:
First of all, Miss Thing. Does your man not have a mouth of his own with which to speak? And, the second thing is — girlfriend, there are a lot of shit going in the world that you all don’t seem to recognize. People are dying, our boys are being shot left and right, people are hungry, people are starving, people are trying to pay bills — and you’re talking about some muh-fuckin’ actors uh…and…Oscars.VIEW THE FULL VIDEO BELOW:
And … it just ain’t that deep.
And here’s the other thing. For you to ask other actors and other ‘blacktresses’ and black actors to jeopardize their career and their standing in a town you know damn well you don’t do that. And, here’s the other thing — they don’t care. They don’t care!
I find it ironic that somebody who has made their living and has made millions and millions of dollars from the very people that you’re talking about boycotting just because you didn’t get a nomination, just because you didn’t win? That’s not the way life works, baby. Okay? And it’s very suspect to me.
*sips tea* So whose side are we on here?
