Please, you're not entitled to winning an award because you are black.
podcast-host
And it should have never been signaled to you that that was the case.
podcast-host
How much more does Hollywood need to do?
podcast-host
They're already pushing it in production, in scripting, in the storytelling, in who's on screen and who's behind the screen to go to the Oscars and be nominated as a film.
podcast-host
You literally have to meet their diversity standards, which means they are controlling who you tell.
podcast-host
Stories about and who's involved in the creation of your film.
podcast-host
Now you also want to dictate that you must win awards too?
podcast-host
How much further can we go?
podcast-host
And there's a couple things that are being devalued here.
podcast-host
You're devaluing what it means to be nominated for an Emmy Award if you believe that black people must have a win and that it's just simply not enough to have your work recognized in a nomination.
podcast-host
You're also devaluing the award by dictating who must receive.
podcast-host
What does winning an Emmy Award even mean if we're controlling who wins it?
podcast-host
Nothing.
podcast-host

podcast-host
And you would know that by watching TV because black people are so heavily pushed everywhere because of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
podcast-host
Now, if you take this to an award ceremony and think about that 13%, it's likely that an award ceremony could take place without a black person winning an award.
podcast-host
It's not some racist white supremacist.
podcast-host
premises conspiracy theory, it just makes sense.
podcast-host
But some disagree and they're alleging that this is the Emmys conspiring against black people because they've been winning for too long.
podcast-host
Let's watch.
