King could have just left it at that, stood by his own beliefs and moved along, but today my respect for the legendary novelist has severely dwindled thanks to a Washington Post column in which the author argued the Oscars were still “rigged in favor of white people.” in his WaPo column King criticized Oscars’ Best Picture nominees, including “The Irishman,” “Ford v Ferrari,” “1917,” “Joker,” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” as “man-fiction” that had plenty of “fights, guns, and many white faces.” Amd then, to make matters worse, King went on to champion DuVernay’s uber-overrated Netflix series “When They See Us” as the work of “creative genius” in his Washington Post column. Was this King Op-Ed a cowardly act of intellectual harakiri? You bet. Contribute Hire me
