Today, Jan. 18, 2016 is Martin Luther King Day. Sadly, his dream of making black and white Americans equal like brothers has not been fully realized. Police brutality towards African Americans continues.
Also, ironically, some black actors and directors complain that the many Oscar nominees this year are all white. I have seen the movie Creed, which I like. Sylvester Stallone playing Rocky Balboa as a boxing trainer has received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, while the lead actor Michael Jordan has received none. Maybe there was no prejudice on this one about acting, but the movie itself was very well directed. It begs the question why the director Ryan Coogler has not been nominated for best director. Is it also because of racial prejudice? Such questions can never receive a definitive answer that satisfies everyone.
