Viola Davis on the 2012 Oscars Red Carpet in Vera Wang

See, I didn’t even know she was wearing Vera Wang because everyone was so focused on her damn head. I love her natural hair, and the color. Her makeup is gorgeous and this is NOT the first time her cleavage has been out- do you girl!

Buuuuutttttt isn’t the purpose of the red carpet supposed to be what you wore? Not the thing you usually wear on your hair that you left home? The whole “wigless” headline was wack, and will continue to be wack.

The fact that she’s nominated for the role she played is wack in and of itself though- good performance, but come on. Black women can only get Oscars and/or nominations for playing some simp ass role? See Jennifer Hudson as underdog Effie in Dreamgirls and 1st African American woman to win an Oscar, Halle Berry, having sex with a white man in Monster’s Ball.

It’s really ridiculous. Not to take away from Viola Davis’ accomplishments, but come on now. Can we all just take a second (and by that I mean a lifetime) to boycott Hollywood and mainstream media until they change something (and by something I mean every damn thing) ?
