Racist people

[@ErnestJay88]

People said that Will Smith slap Chris Rock is the most disgusting moment in Oscar, but they never seen a native American woman who defend her and her people rights getting booed by actors and actresses, that the most disgusting moment in Oscar history.

[@BayMacDre415]

The "BOO'S" were coming because the Award Ceremony is not designed for these types of controversial discussions. It is irrelevant which side she is on. She could have said "I don't think the American Indian people are being treated badly enough" and the "boo's" should have been given all the same. Anything political is highly contentious and there is always someone who will have strong opinions in opposition, so it's been commonly accepted that you don't use your time during your "acceptance speech" to discuss things which may upset others and have no relevance to your work on the film or the other people involved in the work on your film. However, further in defense of the "boo's" which were given (I, too would have certainly joined along in showing my "support" of such inappropriate discussions), if you watch again and listen closely... the contempt is first vocalized ONLY WHEN she says her goal is to bring awareness to the "MASSIVE DISCRIMINATION AND MISTREATMENT" of the American Indian people, by specifically the FILM INDUSTRY. This is a pretty GROSS generalization of the "film industry" as a whole, and inappropriately and unfairly LUMPS people together under one designation. If people have acted wrong, then call them out and expose them. But don't take something which describes a category they fall under, and attribute BLANKET RESPONSIBILITY TO EVERYONE ELSE who happens to meet that description. It's absolutely unfair. Not to mention, you're speaking ill about a group of people, RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, and at their OWN event. You essentially are welcomed into someone's house, only to insult them publicly. How RUDE! It doesn't matter how polite and otherwise considerate she was during her time on stage... she made a pretty grave accusation towards the ENTIRE FILM INDUSTRY as a whole, over a night which is meant for respect and praise towards all of the people who worked tirelessly towards a piece of art or production of wondrous magic, which the rest of the whole world can enjoy... it's not a night for "blanket accusations" towards those people who are there to celebrate. Bring up your complaints with the APPROPRIATE parties, and do so at the APPROPRIATE TIME, when you can ACTUALLY MAKE CHANGES HAPPEN that you want so badly.

[@bravefreedom8283]

The only thing more courageous than Marlon Brando not accepting the award was this woman rejecting the Oscar and telling them so eloquently why he had declined.

[@leiawarriormaiden]

agreed... it's not terribly hard to reject an award when you get someone else to do it for you (who also ended up taking the boos that you avoided!)

[@CDexie]

@@leiawarriormaiden I doubt Brando would've taken any boos. He was way too respected. At most, people would stay silent. They booed her for speaking out and interrupting and "usurping", in a sense, within the ceremony. Remember, the boos started just AS she mentioned "mistreatment of Native Americans". If that's not burying your head in the sand and shouting "It's your fault!", I don't know what is. Michael Caine would later say that Brando shouldn't have let a poor little Indian girl receive jeers directed at him, ignoring the fact that she was President of the National Native American Image Affirmative Committee and not little or poor, just kind towards an entitled audience that was in such a favourable position so as to afford not to care about Wounded Knee. Marlon Brando would later comment "I was distressed that people should have booed and whistled and stomped, even though perhaps it was directed at myself, they should have at least had the courtesy to listen to her."

[@vanessacorey789]

@@leiawarriormaiden Actually, sending a native American....and a woman at that....to tell them what he, a white celebrity thought, was pure gold. It made history and it helped bring about change. They both took big risks, but for her, it WAS a huge tradeoff, but a very valuable tradeoff for brown people and progress. The incredible opportunity to face the brutalizers on a huge platform and stimulate change...that is what Brando gave his friend with this appearance. Sometimes some things have more value than others, the key to living a powerful life is making the best tradeoffs. This was an epic tradeoff for both.

[@leiawarriormaiden]

@@vanessacorey789 we all need to make tradeoffs in life to be sure... some end up working in our favor in the end and some don't. But I'm afraid I don't agree with your assertion that "the key to living a powerful life is making the best tradeoffs". Yes, it certainly helps one in living a better life but it isn't *key* (sorry!). You seem to be looking at desirables like a bunch of mutually exclusive events, i.e., if you choose to do this, then you can't choose that! But why can't it be both? Arnold Schwarzenegger was a champion bodybuilder, major Hollywood movie actor, Governor of California, and (presently) a successful entrepreneur. He showed that you can do it all and do it well. In his motivational talks, he lists off the keys to his success and (sorry to tell you this but) your "trade-off" assertion didn't make an appearance! His keys to success were good ol' homey down-to-earth rock-solid nuggets of wisdom you might hear from some wise old timer in a Midwestern town. Certainly not the pizzazy "motivational guru" sound bites the know-it-all TED talk speakers like spouting off! loool Peace

@@elcheapo9444 While it's true European settlers decimated the Native American populations in the US, and in some other places, Native American tribes also had wars and conquered one another. Middle Eastern Ottomans conquered, captured and traded European slaves. The Japanese committed a genocide in China in the 1930s, and on and on. The conquering, decimation, subjugation and enslavement of ethnic populations goes all the way back to Egyptians enslaving Jews. That's not an excuse, it doesn't make it okay, and two wrongs don't make right, but I'm just putting it into perspective that Europeans weren't the first or last to do such things. I still think we owe the Native American tribes and reservations quite a lot more than they've got, but I also feel the focus should be on stopping similar things happening currently, in the modern era, and from happening again in the future, which many people do excuse away for political expediency lest they feel uncomfortable with the truth.

So, what Brando did, was to give her the ultimate platform to make the world listen and the consequences thereof is the sins of the supremacists, that continue to cut away more and more native land and their rights to this day.

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

@Utube hates Free speech 'Self inflicted wounds' is if native (the only real) Americans went to Europe and got wounded. But no, you see they got massacred in their own land, by what you call your government... The same government that owes reparation to slaves and robbed the very same Indian people of their vast land, called North & South America. So off course who would blame them if they are not keen to be patriotic to a war loving invasive government, who to this day is still busy invading sovereign countries for their minerals and causing mass human violations in the process... Worst of all, they use Hollywood to paint their victims (just like the cowboy movies did), as the 'bad guys', hence the godfather took this stand to remove that bullshit smokescreen for the world to see, but clearly, you still only see as far as the smokescreen. And you say, Utube hates free speech, but clearly you hate free thinking. So maybe if your government is serious about reparations, the real owners of America might consider being more patriotic towards their captor regime.

[@teptime]

Don't assume too quickly that the boos were in response to Miss Littlefeather, or to the issue being addressed. Many people in that audience were in full agreement with those points, but found it inappropriate and insulting for a recipient of a prestigious award to effectively hijack the podium, in absentia, for the purpose of political activism. In this situation, what was being said died at the hands of HOW it was being said, which is unfortunate because the matter could have been brought to light effectively through formal discourse in proper forums. Brando KNEW THIS...for him, it was all just another prepensely dissociative raise of the middle finger, the likes of which he was well known for, and, roundly disliked for.

[@StunBuns]

+The Hh Um, no, millions and millions of Americans were born here and are now natives, i.e. have *just* as much claim as the American Indians who are also born here every day. The indians who had their land stolen are dead and the whites who encroached are also dead; leave the past in the past, it's been over a century now, and you still don't think we "belong here" or something?

[@SammyGill]

FULL SCRIPT IS : By MARLON BRANDO BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- For 200 years we have said to the Indian people who are fighting for their land, their life, their families and their right to be free: ''Lay down your arms, my friends, and then we will remain together. Only if you lay down your arms, my friends, can we then talk of peace and come to an agreement which will be good for you.'' When they laid down their arms, we murdered them. We lied to them. We cheated them out of their lands. We starved them into signing fraudulent agreements that we called treaties which we never kept. We turned them into beggars on a continent that gave life for as long as life can remember. And by any interpretation of history, however twisted, we did not do right. We were not lawful nor were we just in what we did. For them, we do not have to restore these people, we do not have to live up to some agreements, because it is given to us by virtue of our power to attack the rights of others, to take their property, to take their lives when they are trying to defend their land and liberty, and to make their virtues a crime and our own vices virtues. But there is one thing which is beyond the reach of this perversity and that is the tremendous verdict of history. And history will surely judge us. But do we care? What kind of moral schizophrenia is it that allows us to shout at the top of our national voice for all the world to hear that we live up to our commitment when every page of history and when all the thirsty, starving, humiliating days and nights of the last 100 years in the lives of the American Indian contradict that voice? It would seem that the respect for principle and the love of one's neighbor have become dysfunctional in this country of ours, and that all we have done, all that we have succeeded in accomplishing with our power is simply annihilating the hopes of the newborn countries in this world, as well as friends and enemies alike, that we're not humane, and that we do not live up to our agreements. Perhaps at this moment you are saying to yourself what the hell has all this got to do with the Academy Awards? Why is this woman standing up here, ruining our evening, invading our lives with things that don't concern us, and that we don't care about? Wasting our time and money and intruding in our homes. I think the answer to those unspoken questions is that the motion picture community has been as responsible as any for degrading the Indian and making a mockery of his character, describing his as savage, hostile and evil. It's hard enough for children to grow up in this world. When Indian children watch television, and they watch films, and when they see their race depicted as they are in films, their minds become injured in ways we can never know. Recently there have been a few faltering steps to correct this situation, but too faltering and too few, so I, as a member in this profession, do not feel that I can as a citizen of the United States accept an award here tonight. I think awards in this country at this time are inappropriate to be received or given until the condition of the American Indian is drastically altered. If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner. I would have been here tonight to speak to you directly, but I felt that perhaps I could be of better use if I went to Wounded Knee to help forestall in whatever way I can the establishment of a peace which would be dishonorable as long as the rivers shall run and the grass shall grow. I would hope that those who are listening would not look upon this as a rude intrusion, but as an earnest effort to focus attention on an issue that might very well determine whether or not this country has the right to say from this point forward we believe in the inalienable rights of all people to remain free and independent on lands that have supported their life beyond living memory. Thank you for your kindness and your courtesy to Miss Littlefeather. Thank you and good night. This statement was written by Marlon Brando for delivery at the Academy Awards ceremony where Mr. Brando refused an Oscar. The speaker, who read only a part of it, was Shasheen Littlefeather.

Not much has changed since that night. Here's what Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC said in August 2016 during the Standing Rock / Dakota Access pipeline standoff kzbin.info/www/bejne/b57Uc6xulrB1eqs Transcript: Dakota means friend…friendly. The people who gave that name to the Dakotas have, sadly, never been treated as friends. The people whose language was used to name the Dakotas and Minnesota, Iowa, Oklahoma, Ohio,Connecticut, Massachusetts and other states, the Native American tribes, the people who were here before us… long before us, have never been treated as friends. They have been treated as enemies..dealth with more harshly than any other enemy. In any of this countrys’ wars. After all of our major wars we signed peace treaties and lived by those treaties. After world war II when we made peace with Germany we then did everything we possibly could to rebuild Germany. No Native American tribe has ever been treated as well as we treated Germans after World War II. Donald Trump and his supporters now fear that the country is being invaded by foreigners who want to change our way of life, a fear that Native Americans have lived with every day for over five hundred years. The original sin of this country is that we invaders shot and murdered our way across the land killing every Native American that we could, and making treaties with the rest. This country was founded on genocide before the word genocide was invented. Before there was a War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague. When we finally stopped actively killing Native Americans for the crime of living here before us, we then proceeded to violate every treaty we made with the Tribes. Every. Single. Treaty. We piled crime on top of crime on top of crime against the people whose offense against us was simply that they lived where we wanted to live. We don’t feel the guilt of the crimes because we pretend they happened a very long time ago, in ancient history. And we actively suppress the memories of those crimes.. but there are people alive today whose grandparents were in the business of killing Native Americans. That’s how recent these crimes are. Every once in a while there is a painful and morally embarrassing reminder, as there is this week in North Dakota near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation where hundreds of people have gathered and camped out in opposition to an interstate pipeline being built from North Dakota to Illinois. The protest in being led by this country's original environmentalists. Native Americans. For hundreds of years they were our only environmentalists. The only people who thought that land and rivers should be preserved in their natural state. The only people who thought a mountain or a prairie or a river could be a sacred place. Yesterday a federal judge heard arguments from the tribes against the federal governments approval of the pipeline and said he will deliver his decision on whether the pipeline can proceed next month. There are now over ninety tribes gathered in protest of that pipeline. That protest will surely continue even if the judge allows construction to proceed. And so we face the prospect next month of the descendants of the first people to ever set foot on that land,.. being arrested by the descendants of the invaders who seized that land. Arrested for trespassing. That we still have Native Americans left in this country to be arrested for trespassing on their own land is testament, not to the mercy of the genocidal invaders who seized and occupied their land, but to the stunning strength and the five hundred years of endurance and the undying dignity of the people who were here long before us. The people who have always known what is truly sacred in this world.
