The ever-so-upity white elitist snobs who still control the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences excluded famous American Indian Lakota activist and actor Russell Means from the In Memorium segment of last night's televised Oscar Awards. They instead chose to mostly memorialize a bunch of old dead white people that even most white viewers never heard of.
Means, who passed away last October, has a number of major motion picture credits to his name, including that of his role as "The Last Mohican" Chingachgook in the 1992 version of The Last of the Mohicans, which was his first movie role ever.
The closing scene of the film includes him along side leading man Daniel Day-Lewis, who won his third Oscar last night for Best Actor in his leading role as Abraham Lincoln in the movie Lincoln. I wonder what he thought about the omission?
Perhaps Russell "I'm Coming Back As Lighting" Means will pay lightening strike visits to those responsible
for excluding him from the Memorium.
