Black Oscar Nom -- "We Don't All Look Alike"

Things got pretty racial pretty quick last night when some guy asked "Benjamin Button" star Taraji P. Henson for an autograph ... on a picture of the other African-American Best Supporting Actress nominee, Viola Davis, from "Doubt."

1. We dont all look alike....yeah and you all dont commit crimes alike either...freaking make up 70% of prison population and want to blame it on every other Race. When will this Culture and Race get with it? Even Obama is turning out to be a complete zero so far....thoroughly unimpressed with him thus far----terrible leader, decision maker, we got a bill of goods with this one.

And he's the best of that Race?---good grief, imagine the rest of the lot of them......Its true, black men can jump higher and beat down better than white men---but white men can think better and act better then black men...you seen that #92 from the Steelers during the Super Bowl, Harrison? Not for his run back, but for the beat down he gave that other guy while he was down? Thats the definition of thuggery in the nfl and life. And you people want to make him out a hero...

2. Damn, it's a hard choice.. Taraji or Viola. Both did an excellent job in their roles. I have to give it to Taraji cause she had to play a lady from 20's to 70's. That's why it's to decide - they both look alike! hehehe.

3. THAT'S FUNNY! AFRICAN AMERICANS COME IN LIGHT, MEDIUM, DARK & EXTRA DARK, BUT THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE RIGHT? WHITE PEOPLE COME IN RACIST OR NON RACIST

4. So, when a white actress is mistaken for another white actress, it is funny or a case of mistaken identity. When it happens to a black person, it RACIAL! Give me a damn break and get a life!

8.
The first "person" who was slamming Obama has some issues to work out . I agree with the post by "whatever" it is a double standard with mistaken Identity. I am a mixed race and all you purebreds look alike to me :p

10. Can some say CHIP ON SHOULDER?! Unless she was making a joke. I really hope she was.
As if caucasian actresses dont EVER get mistaken for another celeb! Didnt Uma Thurman just say she gets mistaken for Gwenyth and Cameron and others all the time & signs autograph as them she doesnt respond "We dont all look alike." Its called be grateful anyone even wants your autograph.

13. They all might not look alike but they all act just as bad.

14. Yeah, they do all look alike. Actresses, I mean. There is a very narrow standard in Hollywood by which women are judged as beautiful. And of course in L.A., beautiful means employable and bankable. Many Black actresses look very similar. And the number of White actresses who resemble one another is too high to count. There are a few actresses who own their own look, and are successful in the business, but by far and large, they all adhere to "that look" which is expected and rewarded. Hell, half the time, I can't tell one White 20's to 30's aged actress from another. And this is the same for me with several Black actresses in the same age range.

15. I think she handled herself well. Number #1, you are a mental case. I don't know how this got to be a racial issue, geesh, this is so old.

And what the hell does Obama have to do with this? You guys need to get OVER it already. He's president, and there is nothing your bitter, dillusional ass can do about it but bitch, like a bitch. -- LOL
