U.S presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has spoken on the Oscars boycott controversy, causing even more outrage with his opinions. He shared his opinion as a guest on TV show, Fox $ Friends. In his words:
“I saw somebody on your show today say, ‘Well, what do we do with BET? The whites don’t get any nominations, and I thought it was an amazing interview, actually. I’ve never even thought of it from that standpoint.”
“I mean, I’ve watched over the years where African Americans have in fact received Academy Awards and have in fact been represented.”
“And this is not one of those years, but over the years I’ve seen numerous black actors and African American actors receive awards and I think that’s great. This doesn’t happen to be one of those years. … It’s a difficult situation.”
