I cannot stress this to you enough, but I'm going to try.

Don't base your opinions, good, bad, or other, on an awards show.

Every winner of Best Picture ever wasn't necessarily the best movie that year. The will of the people isn't reflected by any award show, especially not the Academy Awards.

In this case, however, they nailed it. Great movie, great cast (Shortround, Yu Shu Lien, and Laurie Strode are in this MFer!), and a great, albeit weird ass, story. Watch the movie with no expectations and decide if you like it or not.

I'm not your son, boy, but thank you for an example of how a word that isn't inherently disrespectful or hateful can become so if used in a certain way.

None of those terms have power because we never gave them power, and if you're offended every time you see the word cracker I'd bet good money that there's a white hood at your house, or there was one at your father's.

You know what racial slurs are still 100% acceptable for any race to say? What words you can use to describe a particular color of skin that nobody, not even people of that skin color, care about?

All of the white ones. Cracker, honky, whitey, redneck, hillbilly. There's absolutely zero stigma surrounding these terms, even today. So while Washington's football team has to change its name, and brands like Land O' Lakes and Aunt Jemima are removing racially charged images from their packaging, good ol' Cracker Jacks is still standing tall. In fact, they're including women in their racial slur popcorn now, too.

This comment is 100% for humor, so please DO NOT take it seriously. I'm all good with those terms sticking around. It's just what pops into my mind every time I see the word "cracker". Removing the word cracker from anything is a ridiculous idea which should not be entertained.

I'm not sure why the most popular female hairstyle in the 20s was transgender London orphan boy, but these ladies look like shit.

I can't even imagine what this group smells like. Probably gunpowder, unwashed bear fur, and armpits.
