NAACP Awards Solve Everything

Anthony Anderson hosted the NAACP Image Awards and declared that the auditorium looked like the real America because the real America is 98.9% black according to Wikipedia. Not Anderson’s fault.

Look at all of these beautiful shades of people in the audience. Hollywood needs to know that this is what diversity is supposed to look like.”

Anderson seems like a decent enough dude who lounged into the simplistic me-too hashtag that the Oscar voters are racists and in contrast that an award ceremony dedicated solely to black Americans is diversity. If the NAACP invites you anywhere, you are fairly obliged to rip on whitey. Personally, I’d launch a Eddie Murphy routine on how stupid white people look when they dance followed by a Black Panther salute and a tearful Maya Angelou poem recitation about how hard it is to be black and a crappy poet. Also, a caged bird. I’d shoutout to Oprah, naturally, followed by an Obama can’t catch a break apology, and then just point silently to Will Smith. I’m not sure what that means, but it’s mandatory. You’re either for us or against us. What sentiment could encourage diversity more than that?
