I don't think the Oscars told White people to go f**k themselves this year, just as I don't think they have been telling minorities to go f**k themselves over the past years.  I think that these types of awards are judged in a similar fashion to figure skating - by a professionally inbred group of people, who have their own agendas and prejudices, and don't hesitate to let them show through.  For some reason, this year the Academy was extremely sensitive to the lack of Black winners in previous years, and with Washington and Berry being in a position to capture both Best Actor and Best Actress, the judges felt it was time to "make it so".  It certainly increased the interest level in an otherwise booooring event.

I have decided to stop looking for racism under every rock and tree stump - if it is in the open and blatant, I will confront it and deal with it.  If it is of the "hidden" variety, then it may well exist only in someone's hyper-sensitive mind, and it is for THEM to deal with, not me.
