In the 87 times the Oscars have been held, there have only been 14 black actors walking away with a statue. It’s a damning statistic, and is part of the reason the lack of diversity in the movie industry and its premier awards have finally forced the Academy to make sweeping changes to its membership structure and voting process. 

To illustrate the point, Screencrush has created this supercut of every black actor who has won an Oscar. It's a short video.
