Straight Outta Compton was nominated but the writers(whom are white) are the ones nominated..that doesn't even sit well with me.

Ok, that I can understand to a certain degree, that's why I wasn't pressed on seeing the movie, because I'm not a fan of black films written by white people. But that's a topic for another thread.
It's more so people mad that actors like micheal b Jordan didn't get nominated. As if a lack of nomination is gonna invalidate his performance. It's basically were not happy with any success we got unless there's a white person giving you a pat on the back.
