Jada Pinkett Smith has pleaded with men and women of colour to not "beg for acknowledgment" from this 12 months's Oscars - suggesting a boycott of the annual ceremony alongside megastar Spike Lee.

Now she has spoken out in a passionate video from within her residence, insisting that inquiring for acknowledgment or respect "diminishes dignity and diminishes vigor".
Recognising that it was Martin Luther King's birthday, Jada began with the aid of saying: "Is it time people of colour realise how a lot vigor and have an impact on, that we have now amassed - that we now not have to ask to be invited anywhere.
