This year's Academy Awards show was an unwatchable train wreck of BLM virtue-signaling and bad lighting. A freshman film student could have produced a better show than this mess.
The shout-outs to BLM reached peak cringe during the acceptance speech of Travon Free. Free shared an Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film with co-director Martin Desmond Roe, for the Netflix film
Two Distant Strangers. Two Distant Strangers is about a young black man murdered by police.
Free: Today, the police will kill three people. And tomorrow, the police will kill three people. And the day after that, the police will kill three people. Because on average, the police in America every day kill three people. Which amounts to about 1,000 people a year. And those people happen to be disproportionately black people. You know James Baldwin once said, "The most despicable thing a person can be is indifferent to other people's pain," so I just ask that you please not be indifferent. Please don't be indifferent to our pain.
