About goddamn time!!

Fixed....rigged

Regina Yahya and Zendaya absolutely deserved it though

my Flip Wilson records taught me the N word..

The truth is it should never have been a factor to begin with. Awarded appreciation should have been about talent all along, not skin color.

Black or white deserving should win. Recognition of talent should be political based or discrimination based. Ppl who decide on these have far bigger responsibility now to ensure that fine line is maintained. If not either way it’s discrimination.

'Here's our token black people, aren't we woke?' - Pandering Pedophiles

These are not black, they are beautiful actors

We all know why

Easy when you discriminate and actively make your choices based on race. This has a name I think...

Racists voting for skin color not achievements

Congratulations

Because, Pandering

WHO is THAT in the second pic? 👀

Lol didn't even know that emmy happened

Obviously

Wonder why

Bravo! Congratulations!!

No, they don't. Getting an award for skin color is not an achievement.

Regina King, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Uzo Aduba and Zendaya are amazing actors. To say they only won because they are black is absolute nonsense. If you’re going to talk nonsense, you should have to prove that you actually have seen their fantastic performances. Beyond deserving!

Wakanda!

AND STILL NO LATINOS

Are we to believe that Zendaya won over Meryl Streep and is in the same league as Viola Davis or Regina King? Rubbish. She won because she is black.

So they won because of their skin color. How embarrassing for them.

😱🙄

Is that how it should be looked at tho? Merely by color? Isn’t that TRULY maki ngvit racist?!

Does it matter?

No one cares about awards handed out to nobodies just cause they are black...

Not due to talent tho, just appeasing the woke BLM equality rubbish. No thanks..

And the other races,nothing for them?! Latins? Asians? Native americans? Black privilege!

Congradulations 👏🏼

Ummmm, of course they did.

Record LOWEST ratings because TelevisionAcad refuse to entertain but choose to indoctrinate. Unfortunately, many people won't know or have interest in these actors bc no one watches .

Blacks: 13% of the U.S. population but overrepresented in media and commit 50% of violent crimes. Libs: Progress!

I wonder why

And that’s with comedy being swept by the whitest people

what about other races?

Imagine discovering the only reason you won an Emmy was because you are black, not purely because of your talent. Emmys2020

Thank God, we don’t need anymore riots. Also, Ozark was robbed big time.

LAURA LINNEY was screwed- SO MUCH MORE DESERVING THAN THAT NOVICE

FIXED- OZARK was the best drama by far

Zendaya also won the SaturnAwards for Best supporting actress last year for her role as MJ in SpiderManFarFromHome

Perfect timing.

By design...
