A friendly message to the people who are enraged that "Black Panther" was nominated for Best Picture:

I know that you guys don't have the best social skills, and don't have the most acute awareness of what topics are considered unfit for polite company, don't always realize when you've offended someone, and don't have a good grasp of why people come to dislike you in real life. Of course if you have any interest in improving your social skills and learning how to get people to actually like you, the best thing that can happen to you is someone being honest with you about social questions. So I'm going to be that nice, friendly, instructive person who just wants you to have a better life, and tell you...

YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ASSES OF YOURSELVES.

By hating on "Black Panther" the way you are, a light comic book movie that's done nothing but make people happy and bring money into the pockets of the people that made it, you're making yourself look like jealous, petty, racist, tiny-minded assholes, with tastes in entertainment and discursive skills that would embarrass a sixth-grader.

There. You're welcome.

I'm not hating on the movie but come on.It was a good action movie but it wasn't best picture Oscar worthy good.This is nothing more than a condescending hand out so the people who run the Oscars can pat them selves on the back and appear diversive and forward thinking.

I'm sick of awards shows lately anyway.With their constant #metoo/it's about time/SJW grandstanding and their unfunny un-entertaining hosts as of late.The last one i watched was Tay Diggs hosting the the Critics choice awards.Decent actor but i would rather watch paint dry than watch Tay Diggs ever host anything again.Next time get Kevin Hart.Unlike Diggs he's actually funny.
