The comedian, who welcomed the audience in the Dolby Theatre to the "white People's Choice Awards", said: "This is the wildest Oscars to host because there are no black
nominees." The 51-year-old continued: "I thought about quitting, I thought about it real hard but then I thought they are going to have the Oscars anyway and the last thing I need
is to lose another job to Kevin Hart." Dressed in a white tuxedo jacket and black bow tie, Chris joked about the fact Spike Lee, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith all chose not to
attended the prestigious event. The film star said: "This year things will be a little different, the In Memoriam package will be black people shot by the cops on their way to the
movies. "Yes, I said it. If you want black nominees every year you need to have black categories, there is no real reason to have a man and woman category in acting. There is no reason,
it's not track and field, you don't have to separate them." Chris labelled the Academy "sorority racist" before stating that things were "changing". He
revealed: "Everyone wants to know is Hollywood racist? You have to go at it the the right way. Is it burning-cross racist? Fetch-me-some-lemonade racist? No. It's a different kind
of racist." "Is Hollywood racist? You're damn right it's racist but it's sorority racist. We like you Rhonda but you're not a Kappa. That's how Hollywood
is but things are changing." Chris also called for black actors to receive the same opportunities as their white counterparts, saying: "It's not about boycotting anything, we
want opportunities. "We want to get the same opportunities and not just once. Leo gets a great part every year, people get great parts all the time."
