IFWT_Tyrese_Chris_Rock

Jada Pinkett-Smith (with Aunt Viv adding her commentary), Spike Lee, and Snoop Dogg are among the many celebrities who feel that The Academy has continuously overlooked the Black community of actors and actresses when it comes down to the Oscars. This being the reason other celebrities, namely R&B singer Tyrese, are making attempts to stop Chris Rock from hosting the upcoming ceremony.

Tyrese has offered his opinion on Rock not making the show by asking him to “do the right thing.”


Update:
50 Cent has taken a timeout from going at Meek and asks Chris also to NOT host the Oscars, see exactly how in the Gallery!

Chris Rock do the right thing make a statement – were relying on you to DO the right thing….. There is NO JOKE YOU CAN CRACK TO EVER CHANGE THE WAY WE ALL FEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit up the gallery for more.

Will Rock listen? I doubt it.

#IJS: How are you going to tell someone to quit a prior engagement? While it will take more than Chris Rock to change the lack of diversity within The Academy, you can only decided what is best for yourself. You don’t go, you don’t watch; you boycott next year, etc., and maybe Rock and others will decide to follow your lead. I would love to see more Oscar-like and Black-filled shows to air on television, but maybe it will take a Black individual to make it happen. Boycotting is cool, but what’s next if they don’t listen? I’m just sayin’.
