How anyone could criticize any decision that the WGA is beyond me. No change has ever happened without a fight and the observation that the NAACP and WGA are both organizations dedicated to the fair treatment and advancement of the specific parties they represent is 100 percent accurate. It is always easy for an outsider or someone who isn’t subjected to unfair treatment because of their race, gender, or station in life to critize the activist efforts of others who are fighting for their right to advantages that others clearly take for granted.

I perfectly support ANY union’s cause and any decisions that their members believe will be beneficial in the long run to their business. That being said, I support the Writer’s Guild’s decicion not to support the same networks and producers who refuse to earnestly consider their contract negotions. Which in turn. means that consumers must do without the usual award show foolishness.
The Guild’s decision to allow the Image Awards, sponsored by an instituiton which usually does NO work with the Guild, the NAACP, makes perfect sense to me. The NAACP will not profit from any contract negotiations, as they are outsiders just like you and I. What I do not understand is not granting the same clemency to the Grammy’s, an award show outside of their realm.
And to those of you who don’t understand the importance of the Image Awards, perhaps none of you are from my parents and grandparents era. An era where it was virtually impossible to witness such celebrations of minority achievement. So h

I heard that the Naacp image award nominated Angelina Jolie for a Mighty Heart, a white woman in black face, and a nappy wig, shame on you, black people need to wake up, when one of our own start decides that it’s okay to accept this type of mess, black actors and actresses may as well give up. The same group that once fought for your rights and stood up against this type of stuff now endorses it. Shame on you dogs, I guess Jolie must’ve given “You people” a very large sum of money to nominate and to let her win, shame, shame shame!!!!!

Ok, so now the strike has taken off on a racism gig. Do you think that it may be due to the fact that a good portion of viewers just DO NOT CARE…”

NAACPer: both of your Wednesday are soft racist statements, and the Union decision to write for The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and not the other shows is an act of racism. It is what it is.
everyone in America can now spot racism a mile away and this is real racism. If your comfortable with supporting it, than I would hope you woud reconsider.

I think the story speaks more to the relationship between Organized Labor and the NAACP that has existed since the NAACP’s birth 99 years ago. And I for one look forward to seeing a show that does more than honor the hottest celebs of the moment.
