While I' m not convinced this charade wasn't orchestrated by the academy itself which is even worse commentary on where we stand as a people, pitting two black men against each other on a world stage is despicable! Such a blight on the highest honor Will would receive in his profession.

With all the violence going on in the world, do POC need one more layer of disrespect? All parties involved had to agree on the most distasteful display of aggression and loss of self control ever in front of an international audience.

Are ratings really more important than dignity and self respect?
