How about having some black actors in a good movie?

http://news.yahoo.com/smith-joins-wife-not-attendi...

This would be like white basketball players boycotting because every team doesn't have at least one white player on the court at all time.

If you're good, you'll be recognized.

    Actor doesn't make the movie, which costs tens of millions of dollars for big studio productions. And actor doesn't hire himself. Also, I want to point out that Academy voting is always political, and rare that best actor of year truly wins, best picture of year, etc. Best Actress is basically a popularity contest and it's been a long time joke that Best Supporting Actress goes to woman the voters most want to have sex with. It's always political and not really about being good.

    Hard to have a chance to be good & recognized when you aren't receiving roles, except to play slaves and maids.
