#SAGWinnersSoBlack

No lie.

I'm not sure when votes were cast for the SAG awards (nominations were announced late last year), but it's awfully strange that after the uproar of the 2016 Oscar votes for the acting lineup being "too white," complaining that institutional racism and lack of diversity was a serious issue, that this happened.

Every category a black actor was nominated for a singular performance was won by a black actor. This was present in five categories:

1. Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role (Idris Elba)

2. Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series (Uzo Aduba)

3. Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series (Viola Davis)
4. Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries (Idris Elba)
5. Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries (Queen Latifah)

I would guess this was a makeup for the all-white winner lineup come Oscar night. Save for Best Actor, Actress and Supporting Actress, only Best Supporting Actor at the SAG Awards had a black actor nominated.

The only category that did win with an almost all black cast was Straight Outta Compton and Beast of No Nation for Outstanding Cast Performance in a Motion Picture. That win went to Spotlight.

#OscarsSoWhite was mostly targeted for the lack of dark skin pigment in the acting categories, so it makes sense to have the actors who aren't white sweep in the categories voted by their fellow peers if we go by modern liberal logic. The apologizing has begun and looking at the winners I can't help but think "You probably won because of the uproar." Without the uproar I bet it would not have been a sweep.

Similar to the administration at Yale and Mizzou, the complaints were heard. The demands were set. The demands were met. The children are getting what they want. And the children feel smug and (somewhat) satisfied. Academia and entertainment - two industries that are dominated by modern liberals, showing how "justice" is done.

And to take advantage of the "mostly black" theme, let's look at the 2016 NBA All-Star roster. It's not "mostly black," it's all black if we don't count old white guy Gregg Popovich. Where's the uproar from the white players? Last year's roster was "diverse," both in race and in nationality.

I would guess if next years All-Star roster is all black maybe April Reign, the woman who started #OscarsSoWhite, would be filled with indignation and start a new hashtag -- #NBAAll-StarSoBlack. It would be the second year in a row if such a thing were to happen, so I hope Reign is paying attention.
