75 years ago, on February 29, 1940, actress Hattie McDaniel made history by becoming the first African American, male or female, to win an Oscar. She won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Mammy in the movie Gone With the Wind.
The following day, Hollywood gossip columnist Louella Parsons wrote of McDaniel’s win:
Hattie McDaniel earned that gold Oscar by her fine performance of ‘Mammy’ in Gone with the Wind. If you had seen her face when she walked up to the platform and took the gold trophy, you would have had the choke in your voice that all of us had when Hattie, hair trimmed with gardenias, face alight, and dress up to the queen’s taste, accepted the honor in one of the finest speeches ever given on the Academy floor.

Native Actors Walk off Set of Adam Sandler Movie After Insults to Women, Elders
“Approximately a dozen Native actors and actresses, as well as the Native cultural advisor, left the set of Adam Sandler’s newest film production,The Ridiculous Six, on Wednesday. The actors, who were primarily from the Navajo nation, left the set after the satirical western’s script repeatedly insulted native women and elders and grossly misrepresented Apache culture.
The examples of disrespect included Native women’s names such as Beaver’s Breath and No Bra, an actress portraying an Apache woman squatting and urinating while smoking a peace pipe, and feathers inappropriately positioned on a teepee.
Among the actors who walked off the set were Navajo Nation tribal members Loren Anthony, who is also the lead singer of the metal band Bloodline, and film student Allison Young. Anthony says that though he understands the movie is a comedy, the portrayal of the Apache was severely negligent and the insults to women were more than enough reason to walk off the set.
“There were about a dozen of us who walked off the set,” said Anthony, who told ICTMN he had initially refused to do the movie. He then agreed to take the job when producers informed him they had hired a cultural consultant and efforts would be made for tasteful representation of Natives.
“I was asked a long time ago to do some work on this and I wasn’t down for it. Then they told me it was going to be a comedy, but it would not be racist. So I agreed to it but on Monday things started getting weird on the set,” he said.
Anthony says he was first insulted that the movie costumes that were supposed to portray Apache were significantly incorrect and that the jokes seemed to get progressively worse.
“We were supposed to be Apache, but it was really stereotypical and we did not look Apache at all. We looked more like Comanche,” he said. “One thing that really offended a lot of people was that there was a female character called Beaver’s breath. One character says ‘Hey, Beaver’s Breath.’ And the Native woman says, ‘How did you know my name?’”
“They just treated us as if we should just be on the side. When we did speak with the main director, he was trying to say the disrespect was not intentional and this was a comedy.”
“The producers just told us, ‘If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.’” —Alison Young
Allison Young, Navajo, a former film student from Dartmouth, was also offended by the stereotypes portrayed and the outright disrespect paid to her and others by the director and producers.
“When I began doing this film, I had an uneasy feeling inside of me and I felt so conflicted,” she said. “I talked to a former instructor at Dartmouth and he told me to take this as finally experiencing stereotyping first hand. We talked to the producers about our concerns. They just told us, ‘If you guys are so sensitive, you should leave.’ I was just standing there and got emotional and teary-eyed. I didn’t want to cry but the feeling just came over me. This is supposed to be a comedy that makes you laugh. A film like this should not make someone feel this way.”
“Nothing has changed,” said Young. “We are still just Hollywood Indians.””

Most of the defenders I’ve seen are along the lines of “people say dumb shit sometimes” and then defending Evans’ apology while acknowledging that Renner’s was shit. But I also stay out of the tags, soooo…
I went into the tags… literally the first one was “omg it was a joke. quit being so literal.”
Ahhhh well….shocking. anyhoo I’m out. I’ve nothing to sa on it further. My friend said “Im unsurprised yet disappointed.” and I was like…yeah.same.

I’m trying to avoid another fandom’s wanking but I saw Chris Evan’s apology, it was decent. Renner’s not so much. But they are talking about it on radio here and RDJ’s walk out so big news!
I feel so bad for RDJ. I watched that interview and just wanted to punch that shitty journalist.

husbands so do that. On purpose. Usually when I have my period too. Rude. also still imagining He-Man drawing his sword and the triumphant music, thanks for that.
They do it on purpose. It’s a special husband-worst-timing thing they have that coincides with refrigerator blindness.
Its only putting off my birthday road trip…
what a douchebag.

did some further requisite research, found their website and discussion of the medicine bottle project, it sounds here like they’ve had a fantastic response already but will ‘probably never get enough’ so keep sending them! i know i’m really thrilled to find this– there are few things i hate more than chucking 4 empty medicine bottles a month when they could have further use. and here’s an option!
