斯派克·李今年不会出席奥斯卡颁奖典礼，因为奥斯卡索怀特。在他的个人Instagram上发布的一则公告中，恰逢马丁·路德·金（Martin Luther King，Jr.Day）获奖之际，这位奇瑞克（Chi raq）的导演将学院的最高荣誉提名给了一个全是白人的演员领域。

“我们不能支持它，”李写道，“对我的朋友，主持人克里斯·洛克和制片人雷吉·赫德林，艾萨克斯主席和学院没有任何不尊重的意思。但是，演员类的20名竞争者怎么可能连续第二年都是白人呢？我们甚至不要进入其他分支。两年里有40个白人演员，根本没有弗拉瓦。我们不能表演？！WTF！！”

“演员类的20名竞争者怎么可能连续第二年都是白人？”

李光耀接着引用金博士1968年著名的反对越南战争的演讲，说他之所以坐视奥斯卡颁奖典礼，是因为“总有一天，一个人必须采取一种既不安全、也不政治、也不受欢迎的立场，但他必须采取这种立场，因为良心告诉他这是正确的。”然而，对李光耀来说，“真正的战斗”是，仍在各大电影制片厂的行政办公室里，这些制片厂仍然以白人为主，影响着电影的**。

在百老汇音乐剧《汉密尔顿》中，伟大的演员小莱斯利·奥多姆（Leslie Odom Jr.）载歌载舞，“我想呆在发生这种事的房间里。”各位，事实是，我们不在那些房间里，在少数族裔出现之前，奥斯卡提名者将仍然是莉莉·怀特

#OscarsSoWhite... Again. I Would Like To Thank President Cheryl Boone Isaacs And The Board Of Governors Of The Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences For Awarding Me an Honorary Oscar This Past November. I Am Most Appreciative. However My Wife, Mrs. Tonya Lewis Lee And I Will Not Be Attending The Oscar Ceremony This Coming February. We Cannot Support It And Mean No Disrespect To My Friends, Host Chris Rock and Producer Reggie Hudlin, President Isaacs And The Academy. But, How Is It Possible For The 2nd C***ecutive Year All 20 Contenders Under The Actor Category Are White? And Let's Not Even Get Into The Other Branches. 40 White Actors In 2 Years And No Flava At All. We Can't Act?! WTF!! It's No Coincidence I'm Writing This As We Celebrate The 30th Anniversary Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Birthday. Dr. King Said "There Comes A Time When One Must Take A Position That Is Neither Safe, Nor Politic, Nor Popular But He Must Take It Because C***cience Tells Him It's Right". For Too Many Years When The Oscars Nominati*** Are Revealed, My Office Phone Rings Off The Hook With The Media Asking Me My Opinion About The Lack Of African-Americans And This Year Was No Different. For Once, (Maybe) I Would Like The Media To Ask All The White Nominees And Studio Heads How They Feel About Another All White Ballot. If Someone Has Addressed This And I Missed It Then I Stand Mistaken. As I See It, The Academy Awards Is Not Where The "Real" Battle Is. It's In The Executive Office Of The Hollywood Studios And TV And Cable Networks. This Is Where The Gate Keepers Decide What Gets Made And What Gets Jettisoned To "Turnaround" Or Scrap Heap. This Is What's Important. The Gate Keepers. Those With "The Green Light" Vote. As The Great Actor Leslie Odom Jr. Sings And Dances In The Game Changing Broadway Musical HAMILTON, "I WANNA BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS". People, The Truth Is We Ain't In Those Rooms And Until Minorities Are, The Oscar Nominees Will Remain Lilly White. (Cont'd)
