Has any all black cast movie ever been nominated for the oscars? If any movie should have been, it should have been The Color Purple. Especially Oprah's performance. My God...

You don't get it!!!! just 50 years ago America was at War with Asia due to their attack on us. Blacks have fought to save this country since the 1700s. You don't get it! Even after blacks have fought to be equals, they have been knocked back, slowed of progress and still have not been given their due. You need to first understand history before you open your mouth to speak on something you know nothing about, thanks.
