BREAK TRANSCRIPTBo Snerdly...the Official Obama Criticizer.
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, our recent story about the dearth of nominations for actors of color, actresses of color, the top ten movies nominated for best picture has evoked a deep sentiment with the Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley, who has asked to weigh in on this subject.
SNERDLEY: Rush, there is something tremendously insidious and vile underneath this resegregation, resegregation of Hollywood. Our leading Hollywood producers -- and we all know who they are -- the Spielbergs, the bigwigs are simply look at black and Latino America in the face, especially black America, and you know what they're saying to 'em? They're saying, "Look, we gave you people enough. We elected him president. We did that. We don't have to put any of you people in movies anymore."
RUSH: You people?
SNERDLEY: You people!
RUSH: You people?
SNERDLEY: We were railroaded to putting you people in movies. Those roles were ours. You really think we wanted to put Will Smith in all those moneymakers? You got to be crazy. We didn't want him in there, but we had to do it to look good. You really think, do you really think we wanted to get what's his name, Fox, playing Ray? We had that role all set for Nicholas Cage. No, no, no, we had to give those roles to you people. Well, guess what, we gave one of yo boys the biggest role in the United States, y'all ain't getting no more. Thank you.
RUSH: That is the Official Obama Criticizer.
You have a version of that for our brothers and sisters in the hood?
[SNERDLY] My brothers and sisters in the hood, y'all been played. Guess what's up? Check this out. Y'all thought y'all was doing it, y'all thought y'all could see yourself on TV commercials selling toothpaste, chewing gum, and in Hollywood movies. We got something new for you this year. When you turn on the Oscars looking for the brothers and sisters, when you're looking to see who got back, who ain't got back, whose snacking with Mack, y'all ain't gonna be showing up in the House this year. That's right, party's over, y'all flipped, y'all out the hood, you're out of the pics, we ain't got nothing for you except to clean up afterwards. And, by the way, some of those joints gonna be catered, and they gonna call you all in there, y'all not having no soul food this year, we going back to the regular stuff. Y'all ain't in the mix. Get on up outta here, yo day is done, Hollywood is being run the way it was run when... well, need I say more? I'm outta here.
RUSH: And that is the Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley. And we'll keep in touch. Essentially there's a lot of outrage that just sprung up here over the just-learned fact that there are no people of color. The Official Obama Criticizer has asked for more airtime. Go.
SNERDLEY: One more thing. Where's Jesse? Where's Al? This is the biggest outrage in America. Here you got segregation at the highest levels in the land, and where them brothers? Where are they? Where you at, Jess? Where you at, Al? And where's my boy up in San Francisco, that little state senator, what's his name, Leland, whatever his name? Yo, this is what's up, y'all. Hell, we got segregation here. People are being beat upside the head. Their jobs have been beat upside the head. They can't get no roles and feed their family and win a recession. Where is the support? Where's the love? Thank you.
RUSH: Again, the Official Obama Criticizer, Bo Snerdley, a little upset here when he figured out that there are no people of color nominated, actor, best supporting actor, actor, actress, the top ten nominated best movies of last year. I guess it's safe to say that this year's Oscars minorities and women are hardest hit, or hurt most. But Mr. Snerdley, there are some women nominated. Clearly there's a best actress, a best supporting actress and so forth, but none of color, from the area of the country which veritably preaches to the rest of us how to live. And they even put that in their movies, Driving Miss Nancy. Uh, Miss Daisy, I take it back, Driving Miss Daisy.
BREAK TRANSCRIPTRUSH: Mr. Snerdley, the Official Obama Criticizer, an e-mail for you, sir: "Hollywood and African-Americans -- It seems that they have yet to learn that -- especially from the president's example -- just being African-American is not sufficient anymore." That was your point, sir. Hollywood was instrumental in the election of Obama, and yet there's no satisfaction. Racism is not over. There's a total diss in Hollywood when it comes to the Oscars. What's needed, apparently, in order make the point to fulfill the dream, is an unemployed black Jewish lesbian atheist in a movie. This is the role: An unemployed black Jewish lesbian atheist trying to save earth from global warming. That would be worth it. That would make up for all of the transgressions, right? You coffer all bases. You'd get everything Hollywood cares about and promotes with that one single thing. That's what they could do. Now, whether or not it would sell at the box office, who knows? The DVD would clean up.
