Al Sharpton compares Hollywood to Rocky Mountains: ‘The higher up it goes, the whiter it looks’

By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Al Sharpton on Monday blasted Hollywood for being too white, after a series of leaked emails revealed racially insensitive dialogue between Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal and movie producer Scott Rudin.

"Right now, Hollywood is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher up it goes, the whiter it looks," Mr. Sharpton told TMZ Monday night.

The civil rights leader said he was "very offended" by the emails — leaked in a massive hack attack on Sony — between Ms. Pascal and Mr. Rudin, who joked back and forth about what movies President Obama presumably likes. "Django," "12 Years a Slave," and other films starring mostly black actors were suggested by both executives. They later apologized in separate statements explaining that they were just goofing around and meant no harm by it.

Mr. Sharpton said he's going to give Ms. Pascal "a lot of heck about the hack" when they sit down to the discuss the issue sometime in the near future with the Urban League's Marc Morial and the NAACP's Cornell Brooks.

"We'll determine there whether we are going to join calls for her resignation, or whether she is going to really, seriously going to deal with the fact that Hollywood really reflects a lot of what was said in that conversation," he told TMZ. "There's no blacks with any real decision-making power. There's no diversity at the top. This could be a time to change Hollywood."

Even ol' Al doesn't mention who is really at the top in Hollywood...

He's not that wrong.  Which isn't really surprising because Hollywood is primarily liberal and therefore one should expect Hollywood to be full of their racism.

    • I try my best ...
What old Al forgot to mention is that the farther down the mountain you go the darker it gets. What Al is referring to is the nature of a mountain the way God himself made it.
 
A mountain is White on top and dark at the bottom. Is the good Reeeeverend now calling God a racist? It would not surprise me.
 
In his disturbed, obsessed, mind, everything on Earth is racist. A potato is a racist. A coffee cup is racist. The moon is racist.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

That was my first thought....

What do you expect Al?  Hollywood is made up of liberal elites, and they're ALL racist.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
