This movie has hardly been seen by anyone, for goodness sake. \u00a0Its gross revenue is a mere trifling compared to many of the other flicks in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>So, why would the ultra-liberal Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) give such an inferior movie the highest award? \u00a0Because it gratuitously promotes homosexuality, and does so within the black community by way of a highly confused black man. \u00a0Apparently, America&#8217;s black communities need to be taught a quick lesson via sterotypical Hollyweird depravity that being gay is now cool &#8230; even for drug dealers in hardcore urban drug cultures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=37135\"><em><b>LGBTTTT AGENDA<\/b><\/em>: Debasing American Society and Corrupting The Planetary Civilization<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clearly, advancing the <a href=\"http:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=38142\">LGBTQ agenda<\/a> &#8212; by every means possible &#8212; remains Hollywood&#8217;s number one priority, even if it mean rigging the Oscars. \u00a0This is why the &#8220;Best Picture&#8221; announcement process was so screwed up; the accounting firm knew that &#8220;La La Land&#8221; had really won.
