You are literally using SHADES to shade. Novel.

😂😂😂😂😂

[@malong21]

HA!! XD

[@missyvillanueva3568]

That's a good one!

[@onigojira]

For someone who seems to dislike the color white so much, you sure do seem to have an awful lot of salt.

[@juniorislost1177]

She's just saying that the oscars are bias, which they are. She never said she didn't like white people.

[@onigojira]

***** Make a joke = "Omg that must be a serious argument where you think you've put forward a well thought out and constructed argument. Here, let me set you straight, or silly, wayward soul." =)

[@RedxHarlow]

+J U N I O R R In what way are the oscars biased? The ratio to white/black Oscar receivers is the EXACT SAME as the white/black actors............wtf is your point?

[@juniorislost1177]

Matt Greer There has only been four black best actor winners in the history of the Oscars. since 1927, and only 20 nominated. It's also weird how Michael B. Jordan didn't get nominated, yet Sylvester Stallone was.

[@JJ-te2pi]

+J U N I O R R Look at the actual stats. For the Oscars, when compared to American census data, both White and Black people are over represented, Asians and Hispanics in particular are vastly underrepresented. But its about talent, not 'diversity'.

[@itoclaus2279]

I'm gonna do a nail tutorial for the best basketball players. I think it will be all black.

[@veliciahiley7652]

Is real.

[@tamikamiller7583]

he 00 the same

[@bjc2876]

Out of interest, How does a person being black or a woman make them better directors, writers or actors. Why does it matter? The vast majority of people in the US are white not black, is it not reasonable that this is reflected in there films? Bollywood doesn't have any white characters. Why is diversity inherently good. Why judge some one on the color of there skin? Now if you had named a few black actors and female directors that, based on merit, were in your opinion better that the ones nominated; this would far further to prove racism and sexism in holy wood. However you did not. Do you really think that the white men are bigoted racists?

[@warrickmiller7651]

+SJW / Histeria group i couldent of said it better

[@warrickmiller7651]

to be honest i dont know anyone more racist

[@imwaitintostrike]

it doesn't make them better at all. by any means, the issue here is that despite the Oscars being around for 88 years. women and PoC have not been given the same recognization even though their performances and hardwork are no different. also, nothing she said was racist at all? she didn't bash on white people? say anything bad about them. she just stated the truth about the Oscars. nothing else.

[@warrickmiller7651]

Obed Carrillo "the truth" no thats her opinon not truth look at her passed videos she makes it out that black people cant be racist

[@imwaitintostrike]

Well, first you have to understand, that racism is a system. Black people by all means can be prejudice and discriminate on white people and others for sure. Of course. But racism is specific to power structures and systems. So in that sense black people can't be racist to white people because white people are the ones in power.

+AbbyZinger there is always a white idiot who is first in the line of ethnomasochism to self hate

[@abbyzinger]

+Truth Europe I may not be really sure what you're trying to say here, but I don't see how disapproving of the academy and their nominations qualifies as ethnomasochism

[@aymbaut9361]

+AbbyZinger no it wasn't

[@casualgamer4094]

+AbbyZinger Well then... Are you dumb enough to think we need some sort of quota for minorities then? Were there not enough eskimo transexuals? Something tells me you have no idea what you are trying to say.

[@rbdriftin]

Yes, let's nominate people of colour for the sake of tokenism!

[@Quagmire97]

+Rob B. (driftin) The thing is that the Oscars actually snub people of color. Selma (2014) was a very successful film critically and was getting nominated at alot of award shows. Then it gets snubbed for best director and actor (two awards thought to be lock ins) for a movie about glorifying a white american sniper who bragged about killing looters in new orleans and punching celebrities. Beasts of No Nation and Creed are films that are just as critically acclaimed (if not more) than anything the Oscars nominated this year but were shut out (besides the white guy in Creed, who we can pretend did a great performance without any credit to the writing or directing since he ALWAYS picks good roles *cough* expendables)

[@creamithmanning2632]

Normally I'd agree, but it IS a tad queer that neither Creed or Beasts of No Nation received nods despite their overwhelming critical success.

[@mopground]

+SupplySide Jesus its pretty clear from your comments you would nominate based on race and political affiliation, which is why you'd never get the job.

[@Quagmire97]

mopground unless you are just simply uneducated about films, American Sniper received very average reception (well besides Fox News who dickrode it hard) while Selma was hailed as one of the best films of the year.

[@mopground]

+Quagmire97 i didnt comment on which film shoulda got the award or not.

[@aliem1999]

Gotta laugh or I'll cry at my lack of faith in human decency

[@miamorhardstyle]

+Alice Emberton Music lol what? so the oscars should just be more of a participation trophy?...lets just give everyone an oscar...clearly not being the best directors or actors in the world is racist somehow

[@miamorhardstyle]

***** the nominees for best female directed movies are Jupiter Ascending Pitch Perfect 2 Suffragette 50 shades of grey all oscar worthy contenders...hahahha ahhhhhhh fuck me dead the worlds gone mad

[@ReadHeadPat]

Well at least we can all safely assume Leo won't be getting that Oscar.

[@chescaleigh]

Only if Patrick pretends to be him though lol

#LastNameBasisReferences

[@AquaAlecia94]

+chescaleigh what does campaigning mean in this instance?

[@Schubert34]

I love the grossly disappointing line

[@breelee700]

maybe its because the best actresses/actors just happened to be not black. stop feeling sorry for yourself. you can't blame everything that goes wrong in your life on the color of your skin.

[@breelee700]

The Oscars celebrate your skill in acting not the color of your skin.

[@ghostoframsaybolton7062]

+bree lee Thank you.

[@tadhgogorman3459]

+bree lee unless your name is leonardo

[@africasbest6391]

really? Because all the black movies have made more money, and got more support from the people, then these white old men, having middle age crisis in movies. So or many it's because Black people don't want to be recognized for their talent. Quit defining "best actors" as white old hags having middle age crisis, and you know now one is gonna watch, oscars have always been boring and they're gonna be especially boring. For example, the producers of the movie "straight outta compton" got nominated but not the main and central part of the movie? the black actors? Same goes with Creed Slvester sallone, or whatever his name is got nominated, but micheal b. Jordan didn't, that's a complete snubb and u can't deny that. I'm glad people are waking up, to Oscars and holywoods bullshit.

[@breelee700]

Africa's Best If you actually watched the Oscars you'd see plenty of black people got nominated for/won awards. It was just this one award she pointed out. I'd advise you go watch the Oscars before commenting again.

[@WavasWay]

Wait a minute!!! So Sylvester Stallone got nominated but no Michael B. Jordan??? hmmm

[@OriginallyBookWorm]

Yep -_-

[@browneyeblues12]

I haven't even heard of any of those movies but Creed tho...

[@gcastillo231]

Micheal B. Jordan is a mediocre actor and didn't deserve a nomination.

[@KagendaK]

+Taurean Reign Um, no. MJB is a mediocre actor who has made disparaging and suspect comments about the women his race. I'd rather see an Oscar go to a more deserving black actor.

[@gcastillo231]

+Taurean Reign no, I'm not joking at all. He's a mediocre actor. Stallone has been getting better with age and was much better than him in Creed.

[@Drrck11]

All the more reason why we need to support our own award shows...and some.

[@chescaleigh]

+Drrck11 don't disagree there

[@IIIIKaiserIIII]

Religous movies are the most whitewashed ever. They always depect Jezus, Mozes, Noah etc. as white men while they come from a region in the middle-east. You don't see too many white men over there. But casting an actor from middle-eastern decent seems like something that's really hard for Hollywood. They'd rather cast middle-eastern actors only for the roles of terrorists or criminals. The stereotype seems that middle-eastern people can only be agressive and insane in movies. Even series like Homeland show high educated muslim people but then there's a plottwist that they are actually a terrorist. Pushing the image into peoples heads that even a highly educated muslim that's living all of his live in the US, without a beard, and in a suit actually also is a badguy. This is even more extreme than what's happening with black actors. You also don't see any attention towards Asian actors or hispanic ones. Hispanic actors usually are drugdealers. Asians usually are being cast as nerds or weaklings.

[@creamithmanning2632]

This is AMERICA. Not Nigeria. Learn your place.

[@IIIIKaiserIIII]

SupplySide Jesus This is the internet my friend.

[@renjilover11]

+SupplySide Jesus lol bye faux-christian troll

[@Xedokai]

+Kaiser So, just because these fictional characters were in the middle-east. That automatically means they were brown? That's pretty fucking bigoted.

[@RoDJ99]

+Kaiser As a person of Levantine descent, I can attest that my people come in many shades. I have people in my own family who have naturally pale skin, blue and green eyes, blonde and red hair. The stereotype might be expressed by you for thinking that all Middle Easterners look alike.

Every time something needs to be spoken about, +chescaleigh come speaking pure truth and being so dang funny at the same time! Lol. I love you girl!!!!! ANOTHER awesome video.

[@xMlleCheerry]

You know the bigger problem in this situation? Maybe the fact 94% of academy members are white, and 77% are men, and i'm not saying they're monsters, but they tend to acknowledge only a certain type of art. You guys keep bringing up "maybe black people didnt deserve it" blablabla. Yeah I see your point. The problem is not there. The problem is, that poc (not only black) will never get roles that are as complex, layered, or non-stereotypical, as white people. Because they have the advantage of neutrality. Neutrality in this society is white male. You guys are here when it comes to complaining about DiCaprio or Amy Adams never winning. I refuse to believe that 95% of talented actors and actresses are white. We never see asian people win oscars. rarely latinos. black people as well. "The only thing that seperates women of color from white women is OPPORTUNITY". But go on, little geniuses that think they know better than everyone.

[@kelm00]

+Emma Domenech Wow. It's pretty quiet around your comment ED. I guess "trolls" really are averse to mature reasonable discussion and their own hypocrisy.

[@anonymous_5016]

How do you suggest we fix this problem? Vote based on the skin color instead of their work? Did you just assume that the majority of the members are racist because of their race.

[@anonymous_5016]

+kelm00 So people simplely disagree are now trolls?

[@xMlleCheerry]

Anonymous _ Not at all, you didn't understand my comment and didn't care to do so. I just said : first off the Academy should represent the industry a little better, by being more open with their eligibility (i'm not saying take someone bc they're black) because when that happens, already we'll have more people who are sensible to other subjects and type of films OVERALL (i'm not saying the Academy is racist at all). I don't suggest we fix the problem by "nominating more poc" or "add quotas". I suggest Hollywood changes and makes room for more interesting POC roles. I refuse to believe that 90% of the best actors and directors and screenwriters are whites. It's highly unlikely. It's a problem of opportunity. That's just it. Didn't you hear what she said un the video? Black people win AAs when they're playing slaves, maids or basketball players. Not when they're playing Dr King or a successful boxer. Go ahead and tell me "they just didn't deserve it", cause I can put Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr and so many undeserving nominees/winners in your face. Dont get me started on Asian people/Latino people/native americans either. They get even more stereotypical roles. You just didn't read my comment or try to understand out point, I dont see any other alternative here

[@anonymous_5016]

Emma Domenech *"I suggest Hollywood changes and makes room for more interesting POC roles"* Why do you want affirmative action so much? Why can't movie makers just make the type of movie that *they* want to make and *you* make your own? Hollywood shouldn't have to cater to you.

next do top NBA players Nail tutorial #NBAsoBlack

Yeah the NBA is so racist towards white men. White people are underrepresented in the NBA because they're so bias and racist. #NBAsoblack

[@njerismaximilius]

+240pixel The black men and women that play professional basketball are more than likely hired by white men, so whats your point? White men run the NBA. Majority of the head coaches in the NBA are white... Where's the bias coming from? Who exactly is racist?

[@christydeng3163]

love this!! did a school newspaper spread on the underrepresentation of poc in the media and my friend wrote an article about how the oscar nominess fail to be diverse. don't listen to the haters, they obviously don't understand the real problem of this. keep up the good work!

[@christydeng3163]

+fizicsmcmanus this comment wasnt even directed towards you? and i dont understand how my comment even represented fascism?

[@ldiod4374]

What problem? The oscars nominations are based on talent not race. Nominating PoC for the sake of diversity and tokenism rather than their talent is in itself racist.

[@christydeng3163]

+Larson Davidson but the fact that only white people are nominated for "talent" is alarming...how is it racist to include every race in an awards show but its not racist when only ONE race is represented?

[@fizicsmcmanus]

+Christy Deng I don't remember calling you "Fascist" but I can see why I would. ".how is it racist to include every race in an awards show but its not racist when only ONE race is represented?" So what you are trying to say is that a merit-based contest should be forced to give awards based on race? Is that right?

[@ldiod4374]

Christy Deng It's not like the Oscars have never nominated people of different race other than white, this is just one year. Besides, when you look at the root of the problem, its not really the academy's fault. It lies more in a lack of representation of notable actors and actresses from non-white races.

[@meloz90]

+Black Star well , that answer also the video above. good job.

[@WafflePrince]

You're totally right, it makes so much sense to instead of choosing the best people that year, for the sake of diversity and politically correctness we should just choose people because of their race and gender! if you didn't pick up on this...this is sarcasm... it is literally the stupidest idea ever.

[@lindinle]

+MrWafflePrince i agree.

[@WafflePrince]

***** did you just reverse my sarcasm? People are not chosen on their race, that is literally the dumbest idea ever. All the candidates chosen were amazing. Leonardo was great in Revenant, Matt Damon was great in the Martian and the rest of the candidates were all great in their roles. George Miller, Alejandro G. Iñárritu and the rest are all superb directors. They all deserved the nominations because they acted or directed well in their movie last year. Their race and gender had NOTHING to do with it. They were nominated not because they were white or male, but because they are great actors and directors. Nominating for race is the dumbest thing ever, and the Oscars do not nominate like that. All the nominations are credible! Do you really think they should nominate a woman, or a black person just for the sake of diversity. Because then they wouldn't have been nominated because they deserved it, but to please social justice warriors. It would make the Oscar worthless. Would you want to win an award, not because you are the best, but because of the political message it sends?

[@WafflePrince]

***** All the candidates were great, I would have liked to see other people such as Ridley Scott nominated. However I do agree that all the chosen ones did have a valid reason to be nominated. Also I never said anything about poc/women only being nominated for politically correctness (straw man much). What I actually said was that people only want them to be nominated for politicly correctness, rather than for their talent. Everyone is complaining, however no one really has said who they would have nominated instead. I think all the candidates are solid choices for talent, even though I wanted other people to be chosen such as Abrams or Scott. Out of curiosity, who would you have chosen?

[@WafflePrince]

***** That made little sense.Oscars focuses on the best of the year, regardless of gender and race. It just so happens last year, the majority of last year were mostly white and male. This is likely because the majority of the film industry are white and male. So there are more chances of good directors and actors, so it makes sense for the percentage to be higher. Also I asked you for your nominations because I wanted to see examples of non-white and female directors/actors. To be fair there are not many in comparison to white and male directors/actors. I am sure there are plenty of great people who are, simply their numbers are less, so the proportion of them in the Ocsars is going to be less (this is common sense). This isn't racist/sexist, stuff like this happens in many different jobs and careers, for example, there are little to no binwomen in comparison to binmen. Or non-whites to whites in basketball teams. Specific races and genders have tendencies* to have certain jobs and careers than others.This has little too do with racism, so stop making it. *I deliberately say tendencies because anyone can be anything. however there are trends.

As controversial as this video can be, it is VERY creative. It is. Whether we like or dislike the content, the creativity is on point. You clearly have talent.

[@XboxRussian1337]

Haha, you do realize that the nominees are nominated based on their performances and skills and not the color of the skin? Adding an actor of color to the list of nominees even if his performance was weak would be a detriment, not a boost. It would be the same as awarding Hillary Clinton the presidency because she is a woman, and not because of her political positions. The Academy got the categories mostly right this year; I can't think of a single woman who deserved to replace the men nominated for Best Director. And plus, I'm actually a person of color. The fact that you people get so bothered when people of color aren't nominated for something like the Oscars astounds me. Do the world a favor, though, and shut up.

[@smugb]

+Anthony Robles _"It would be the same as awarding Hillary Clinton the presidency because she is a woman, and not because of her political positions."_ You've just totally confused a large swathe Clinton supporters, as many of them are voting for her precisely because she's a woman.

thank you for mentioning all those actors. they are all so very incredible actors and we'll deserved of those nominations.

[@MegaLabano]

This woman is soo right! People should be nominated to Oscars based on their gentelia and skin color, not talent! Why should the most talented people in the film industry, get the price for the most talented people in the film industry? That is talentism!

[@jessicazhang1563]

A very strong argument for the lack of racial diversity in the oscars and hollywood in general is that there are far more white people in the U.S. population than any other race. It's basic math really; the reason there aren't as many Oscar nominated black women or black men is because there are much less of them, and if say 5% of a race is generally talented, the 5% of black people would be much less than the 5% of white people in America. Unless there are actual statistics showing that people of color have not been nominated because they are discriminated against (and I can't imagine how in the world you would measure something like that when the quality of a movie is generally subjective), there is no reason to believe so.

[@jessicazhang1563]

+Jessica Zhang Another thing is that you didn't actually put in any specific nominees that would've deserved it more than them. That lowers the strength of your argument by not offering an alternative solution, as well as not even explaining why those people don't deserve their Oscars, other than the fact that they are mainly white.

[@duesalbladesinger7900]

+Jessica Zhang I completely agree. She offered no suggestions of deserving potential nominees, only complaint after complaint.

[@jessicazhang1563]

I really do hope she replies, because I'm frankly interested on what her counterargument is.

[@jessicazhang1563]

[@ChenelleAvallone]

So with your "simple math", therefore there were approximately 0 black people in america for the past two years?? Wow, but with beyonce and her black panthers, she needed to put in more white people for equality! 😂

Clever comedy with a heavy dose of sarcasm is the best kind of comedy! Hence why I love you, Franchesca. And the comment section is almost as hilarious. All these butthurt comments have me in stitches. Knee-jerk non-arguments, complete with condescending tone, and a sprinkle of profanity here and there... ya'll keep regurgitating the same BS, but it just never gets old. Thanks for the bonus laughs, bros.

[@AmbroseReed]

"This is the finished look! As you can see, it's traditional, predictable, safe, and grossly disappointing." The shade is so real. And by shade I guess I mean various colors of beige because the Academy can't see anything else.

[@slimgpd]

Why does it matter?

[@barbaragordon6177]

Love Eddie Redmayne, but he can't win again, he just won. It's Leo's time!

[@teriverse]

yes.

[@AX-zj3xm]

His acting wasn't that great in The Revenant, I mean he was good, but he was way better in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Aviator. I hope Michael Fassbender wins

[@barbaragordon6177]

Andrés Baez The academy basically owes Leo at this point, and I'm bias as hell. Fassbender should have won it for 'Shame' and he was great in '12 Years a Slave', but Redmayne on fire.

[@liviainhi9179]

+Barbara Gordon Wasn't there an actor who won an Oscar twice in a row? Maybe it was during the Pre-Code Golden Age of Hollywood. Back when you weren't nominated for just one particular role.

[@barbaragordon6177]

Livia in HI "Five individuals have won back to back Oscars one year after another, can you name them? Luise Rainer was the first, in 1936 and 1937. Spencer Tracy won the lead acting Oscar two years in a row, 1937 and 1938. Katharine Hepburn won the Lead Actress Oscar two years in a row in 1967 and 1968, and then Jason Robards won the Supporting Actor Oscar two years back to back in 1976 and 1977. Most recently, Tom Hanks won back to back Oscars in 1993 and 1994 for two very different performances, a gay lawyer dying of AIDS in PHILADELPHIA, and a simple man making his way through life in FORREST GUMP" Eddie's coming for that list. Haha

[@LindaMitchell]

This is brilliant.

"Who knew beige could be so diverse!" Oh man, I'm howling. Also the Best Actor quip! They are so predictable while trying to appear "progressive" in their choices. Pffffft. LOVED this.

[@Hussiens]

God, I love it when you make content like this.

[@ForeverTJTigress]

This was hilarious and a brilliant way to address this situation! Great job as usual 😂😂

[@Internetdiver06]

All this shade is causing vitamin D deficiency.

[@antonsmirnoff2350]

Everytime I'm like "this video won't be as good as the last one" and then it ends up being even more perfect, obviously.

[@alexissmith7312]

Dear chescaleigh, I love how you chose the funny and effective way to get ur point across.

[@ElefitTV]

Ok, Ok, OK You freaking get. You are simply amazing, and simply a genius. #bestvideoofmygeneration

[@Alvin2503850]

I thought I was going watch a boring makeup tutorial but this, this is entertaining. Loved it!

[@yoyo482]

And the Oscar goes to chescaleigh for being a woman with an incredible intellectual sense of humor. ..this is another universe of course.

[@leonalynnloves]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! This was the best nail tutorial as people will actually learn something. You better go head with this clever idea!

[@bluboo8]

I don't think she's stupid at all... She even said it may be a coincidence (implying that the awards are to recognize those for the merit of their work) and then she gave statistics that do seem interesting because they correlate with the nominees. She doesn't hate whites; just because you want to be represented in such a prominent award show doesn't mean you hate whites.

[@morcova]

This video was just as good as your video about racial representation in the NBA and the NFL. Wait... you mean you didn't do one... huh.

[@totallynollie10]

You. Are. Great. Fanchesca.

[@JasperKenneth06]

this video is just dripping with sarcasm i love it!

[@vesuvius2444]

During Will Smiths career, He's been nominated in movie awards 85 times and has won 45 of them. Will Smith has almost 50 awards and winning a little over half of every time he gets nominated. Making him one of the most prestigious and awarded actors in the US. Also, Denzel Washington, nominated 91 times and has won 39 awards. Granted these aren't all Oscars, their accolades, recognition, and contribution are obvious.

[@jbrunty1989]

>whines about not being represented by a foundation >decides not to make your own movies or way to acknowledge those movies liberal logic

[@servingzombies]

Because your race is more important then your acting ability.

[@browngirlreading]

YES. YES! and YES!!!!!

[@rickandrygel913]

Here's how you actively participate in fixing this: 1 Write/direct your own low budget film. 2 With the new recognition a film brings, write a big budget film and approach the major studios with it. (This one isn't so easy for anyone not already in the loop, but new people do get in there some times, the first point can help with that, persistence is key for anyone trying this) 3 Make the best damn film you can and win an award for your hard work. And there you go, then we would have a black female best director winner, and I would enjoy another great film. Thank you.

[@SpazzyKidd]

Point aside, lowkey I love the color of the nail polish. Very cute!

Math lesson of the day: Number of oscar winners per year: 4 Number of Oscar winners the last 15 years: 4*15=60 Black actors that has won the oscar the last 15 years: Halle Berry + Denzel Washington + Jamie Foxx + Morgan Freeman + Forest Whitaker + Jennifer Hudson + Mo'Nique + Octavia Spencer + Lupita Ny'ongo = 9 people Percentage of black winners the last 15 years: 9/60=15% Percentage of black americans: 13% Conclution: Based on statistics of the last 15 years, black actors are more likely to win an Oscar than white people.

[@KnightsOfBellamy]

God damn it this was fantastic.

[@killlamas57]

This was hilarious.

[@Wowyana]

This video just speaks so many volumes 😂

[@JulieTao96]

How did I not find you earlier than this??? omg you are amazing. I love it. thank you so much for making the videos that you make. It's so important.

[@AwesomeGaming99]

+Julie Tao can't tell if troll or stupid

[@AnAlienThat]

+Nemesis9250Gaming Probably just stupid.

[@anaointa]

Best thing ever

[@Jammsbro1]

So you are complaining that some richactors didn't get to applaud their abilities to play make believe for huge amounts of cash? This is some serious, first world problems you are showing right here. There are real issues to deal with in the world and you are moaning about actors getting awards? Shame on you.

[@emilyliberatore5819]

Girl, I'm sorry about all the dumb racists who think they can tell you you're wrong. You're not wrong. At all. They're asking you to name one black woman who has directed an incredible film this year and deserves the oscar more than any of the white guys, and nobody has an answer because there's nobody to name. You know why? BECAUSE THE PLAYING FIELD IS NOT EQUAL. I'm sure there are many many black women who would do an incredible job at directing a movie, but because of their gender and ethnicity, they are not given equal opportunity. It's not written down in stone that they don't get equal opportunity; it's just racism and sexism, working in subtle (and often overlooked) ways. Duh. Hello. Good day.

[@dutyfreecritic]

I was wondering at first why you wanted to congratulate the nominees and then.. lol i loved this. Great job with the subtle sarcasm

[@andrewlastnam4644]

I don't think this person realizes how good she has it compared to the rest of the world.

[@roronoadvegeta1219]

Just curious what female director you think deserves to be ahead of the five you listed.....?? Seriously please reply to this, something is wrong with you.

[@ignisdeanimus3471]

this is amazing I died laughing, but on a more serious note, 1 woman director in how many years???? that's insane. I know there are more white male directors, but still..

[@chescaleigh]

+Carrot Doughnut 1 woman in 88 years ;P

[@eboniburkes402]

I subscribed because of this. loved the truth behind this and honestly, whitewashing is so sickening, everyone should have a chance to speak their views on what happened, and you are amazing~!!

[@1dmulligan]

This was brilliant. The next video should be "how to make tea from white tears." We can collect the tears from these comments. LMBO!!

[@praise650]

so much tea spilt! I just can't lmfao

[@WhirlOmar]

This is not true. Look back and see that many blacks have won oscars and have been nominated. What hasn't been represented much are Asians.

[@warrickmiller7651]

+WhirlOmar becuase they dont make movies in hollywood?

[@warrickmiller7651]

***** name an asain american director

[@chescaleigh]

+WhirlOmar this video is not about the need for more black representation. hence why I said, people of color.

[@warrickmiller7651]

***** right so what do you want to do force asains to make films? how do you solve this none issue

[@warrickmiller7651]

***** here is a list of asian directors www.imdb.com/list/ls050608569/

[@goldenxdiva6562]

White people so mad up in these comments, LMAOOOO. I wish you could memes to responses on KZbin (and not like a link to a meme). #staymadwhiteppl can't LIKE this video enough, Fran!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😁😁😁😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@fizicsmcmanus]

+Golden x Diva Actually, you anti-white racists are getting pretty much destroyed with facts and resort to the usual name calling tantrums when confronted with them. Care to try some facts? Do you have your angry tears tissues ready?

[@goldenxdiva6562]

+fizicsmcmanus 1) being pro-black doesn't make someone anti-white. You guys are so self absorbed, why does everything having to be about white people? "Ugh, these black people love being black! IT MUST MEAN THEY HATE ME! IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEE!" 2) minorities can't be racist when racism is a system of advantages based on race & supported by institutions, policies & practices that benefit dominant groups & disadvantage subdominant groups. Racism is a social expression of power & privilege.I don't benefit at all from the system. People can hate, be prejudice to & bully white people, but to be racist against them? Nah. 3) who name calling? I said white people mad, that's not name calling, it's a fact. (See all the comments telling Fran to swallow bleach & kill herself). Did she threaten any white lives in this video (or ever for that matter?) no, but you guys resort to threats of doing her bodily harm, reallll mature. I'm not gonna have an argument in a comments section. Peace to you

[@fizicsmcmanus]

+Golden x Diva Yep the usual "Blacks can't be racist because.... bullshit" some other gobbledygook that I don't want to read because it's just more bullshit that excuses your racism and a "I'm quitting the conversation!" because you just can't admit that you are embracing a system that allows you to spew racist bullshit while remaining immune to being called out on it. NEWSFLASH, no one buys this bullshit outside of your echo chambers, no one buys that you can spew hatred because reasons. Another racist down, NEXT

[@goldenxdiva6562]

+fizicsmcmanus did you even read my comment? You're so ready to fight and go guns blazing but you can't even read. I said people can be mean, prejudice and even bully white people (that all falls under the umbrella term of hate), but you can't be racist against white people (again, "racism" falls under the umbrella term of "hate" too but it's a different concept). You need to stop trying to play the victim and see the bigger picture. The world works in favor of white males, even areas that are minority dominant those with lighter (see: white seeming) features are favored and if you're lying to yourself if you say I'm wrong. I can throw alllll the facts at you #FactsForDays but ain't nobody tryna argue on KZbin. PEACE TO YOU (& leave it just at that for once, peace) ✌🏿️✌🏿

[@fizicsmcmanus]

+Golden x Diva oh that's rich, I honestly can't believe you are telling ANYONE to stop being the victim, dear God, do you actually believe the bullshit you are spouting? Yes, your racist bullshit is "special", right? Give me a break, do you honestly believe anyone buys that? hahaha

[@Aboudesbois]

HAHAHAHAH THE COMMENTS White people whitepeopleing.

[@snowwhite607]

I swear to God if Leo wins the Oscar and is pressured into not accepting it I am going to be pissed. Give that man his well bloody deserved Oscar.

[@hellydiallo1686]

To my black people watching this video: You are beautiful and talented. Please do not let the negative comments below tell you otherwise. We do not need the white accolades of an academy that has shown too often its contempt towards us. To assume that an award ceremony is solely based on talent and merit in a racist society is irrational. Black talent both in front and behind the camera is undeniable and so is the fact that we do not need their recognition to know it.

[@goldenxdiva6562]

Ches, I just wanna thank you for taking the time and effort you put into your videos to educate these people. Even with all the hate you get, and I can't even imagine how much you get that I don't see, but it doesn't fall on deaf ears. You're doing what so many people are scared to do and that's calling out all the wrongs and injustices of the world. I'm proud of you and that you're someone who looks like me, you make me proud to be a black woman. The ancestors are proud of you. Please know that you have a bunch of people standing behind you and cheering you on. I'm sorry that you have to suffer the brunt of these comments. #blackgirlmagic #QUEENSHIT ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾

[@muimui7855]

Thank you for this. I will most definitely be sharing this with everyone!

[@DrivingOnWires]

The Oscars also tend to make the winner the film about film making (Birdman, The Artist). The Oscar committee can't even see movies beyond their own professions, let alone they're race or gender. I don't understand how after years of criticism they haven't improved.

this was everything.

What lovely shade

[@rileyherbert4657]

I hate it when people ask for more diversity yet don't give any examples of what they'd want. What directors does she think should have been nominated? Start there first. Otherwise her argument isn't very solid because it's pretty much saying diversity for diversity's sake instead of "This person should have been nominated because __".
