I’ve been in the Deep South they are huge on manners and how you conduct yourself.
Always friendly polite and always asking you if you need anything.
I’ve never gone into any establishment that’s not friendly to everyone.
They just hold a higher standard in manners.
Love that about the southern areas of America.

@DisavowedVet @0hour1 That's it, you convinced me... to never move down South

@0hour1 They also fuck their cousins and drink so much mt dew they have to bus in pro-bono dentists. They also have the highest crime rate and rank lowest across the board in education. They also rely on northern states for most of their resources and even funding.

@justuseKsharps @ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge 20 awards in 30 years and 8 of them are since 2019 under Rubin, but this has been in effect for about 6 years & it seems like everyone thinks it will ruin everything now! Looking at awards since 2019, it doesn't feel like feel good distribution at all
English

@JJMedic69 @ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge Blacks are represented near their participation rate in Hollywood for nominations for the last 30+ years. Only 4 acting awards are given out each year. Forcing feel good distribution would undermine the awards credibility.

David Rubin served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 2019 to 2022.
In 2020, under his leadership, the Academy launched the “Representation and Inclusion Standards” for Best Picture eligibility. These rules, still in effect, require films to meet at least 2 of 4 diversity criteria involving race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability in on-screen roles, creative leadership, or crew.
Rubin publicly backed the changes and helped appoint the task force co-led by producer DeVon Franklin.
He shifted the Oscars from “best movie wins” to race/gender engineering. A film can now be ineligible for the top prize purely for failing demographic quotas, regardless of quality or audience impact.
Instead of focusing purely on talent and storytelling, the Academy under Rubin institutionalized identity preferences.
Oscars prestige and viewership have tanked. Many see it as performative politics over art. Classics with non-diverse casts would be disqualified.
He helped install the DEI machinery that turned awards into checkboxes and accelerated Hollywood’s quality decline.

@justuseKsharps @ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge It took 30+ years for the first black artist to win the best actor oscar and then another 38 years for the next one! Only 12 Back Artists won acting Oscar's before 2002! Halle Berry is the only female black artist to win Best Actress EVER in 2002! That recognition was great!
English

@JJMedic69 @ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge Yes, Black artists have been recognized at the Oscar’s for 80+ years.

@JJMedic69 @John_Schneider @Lina_rays1ya @kimrocheleau Obama was born in Kenya and the lead man in Russia Gate.

@H18694H @John_Schneider @Lina_rays1ya @kimrocheleau Odd that once the deal was ripped up, Iran almost tripled their uranium production and cut down the time to make a weapon
English

@JJMedic69 @John_Schneider @Lina_rays1ya @kimrocheleau They could not have done that without the money Obama released and gave them in that deal.

@IrishTalian @Behrani @cb_doge At least audiences got to see John Wayne as Genghis Khan, blackface in popular films like "Holiday Inn" and Mickey Rooney as a Japanese guy!
English

@IrishTalian @Behrani @cb_doge Yea, it was so great that it took 30+ years for the first African American to be nominated for Best Actor! And after Sydney Poitier won in 1964, it ONLY took 38 more years for Denzel to win the second! From 1929 to 2002 - Two Best Actor awards!
English

@ItisLinda @IrishTalian @Behrani @cb_doge Brilliant that it took over 30 years for an African American to be nominated for Best Actor and only two wins in 73 years?
English

@DutchNorris @IrishTalian @Behrani @cb_doge Only Two African American Best Actor Awards in 73 years is not that well said!
English

@realdreadnotAK @Behrani @cb_doge Explain why John Wayne played Genghis Khan, Micky Rooney played an asian man, Johnny Depp as Tonto, Emma Stone & Scarlett Johansson both playing asian women...
English

@ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge We’ve celebrated Black excellence for 70 years. This person is citing ahistorical nonsense.
English

@ProvacativePrag @Behrani @cb_doge In a little over 10 years ago there were plenty of white people playing people of color in movies
English

@cb_doge I recently watched a few woke sequels with grandkids. They were pathetic. Why steal a story just to ruin it? Doesn’t the woke crowd have any creative people who can write a decent story line with a script that decent actors would want to read?
English

@Walterbherbst @cb_doge But probably loved John Wayne as Genghis Kahn and Mickey Rooney as an asian guy...
English

@cb_doge Just one more reason why we won’t ever ever again go to see a movie at a movie house.
