Great, I Could Give a Fuck, by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #275 | @MDWorld

Sorry about last week.

I was in the middle of Comic Con and simply forgot my article.

I had a great Comic Con, thanks for asking. The Black Panel was great. My party was great. My dinner was great. My meetings were great.

Like I said, my Comic Con was…great.

After the Black Panel there are always critiques from news outlets. This year we were reviewed by the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Entertainment weekly to name a few.

How cool is that? Cool? No, that’s great!

Then there are the reviews in the form of comments on the Internet.
Some, great. Some, not so great.

I wonder if some of the haters of me and/or the Black Panel are just fucking idiots.

Yes–I mean that. I’m not bitching because some people simply don’t like what I do-Hell for as long as I can remember people have either loved me or hated me. I used to really care about what those people thought. Now?

I could give a fuck.

Back to the idiots…
At the beginning of every single Black Panel, in every interview I’d ever given on the Black Panel, on the Black Panel website, and in numerous articles I’ve written over the last decade or more, ONE thing is made crystal clear: the Black Panel is for people who are doing important work within the Black entertainment or education space.

It’s the Black Panel, not the Black People Panel. So-you don’t have to be Black to be on the Black Panel. If you’re doing good work and Black people are affected or represented you can be a fucking Martian and be on the Black Panel.

I’ve had plenty of non-Black people on the panel.

I’ve said or written maybe a zillion times that the Black Panel is open to power playa’s from any race.

So, as I said, I wonder if some of the haters of me and/or the Black Panel are just fucking idiots because every year some asshole will post reams of comments asking why there are white people on The Black Panel.
White idiots do it, Black idiots do it and it simply boggles my mind.

This is the sort of thing that scares me about FOX News. There are millions of people who don’t read, or worse, don’t understand what they read, or worse still, don’t believe anything that differs from what they have been told regardless of the facts.

Hence global warming is a myth and Obama is a Muslim born in Africa who wants to kill Grandma.

Well–idiots will be idiots I can’t change that.

Well, I win because my Comic Con was great. As for the haters and idiots, I could give a fuck. Shit, next year I’m considering putting only white people on the Black Panel.

That will most surely make some idiot’s head explode.
