Articles like this just make me sad. About the state of the country, about humanity in general. I wish there was an easy way to disabuse people like this of their delusions. I do hope the writer enjoys the movie...

A total box office failure and disaster for the profession of filmmaking? (like a total electoral failure and disaster for the office of the Presidency) I can agree with that.
Hey White People, let's all go to the Black Panther movie and talk loudly throughout the entire film.
And I'm not going to feed the racial grievance monster.
As a Marvel fan, I am cringing about how SJWs might have already ruined this movie.
Never seen so much hype for a movie before.
I put this movie in the same category as those movies that show a female warrior kicking the a$$ of every man in sight. It is propaganda put out by Hollywood to show us how things ain’t. I can’t totally fault them for that as much of what they put out is fantasy anyway. However, there will be some people who will walk away believing some aspect of it. The world will always have its share of Kool-Aid drinkers.
I was going to say “Shaft Goes to Africa” but this reboot of the blaxploitation genre was shot in Atlanta...and a car chase sequence in South Korea?! Why weren’t the cast & crew braving the heat, humidity, and disease of Equatorial Africa and giving their brothas & sistas some economic benefit? The Kingdom of Wakanda is on the Dark Continent, not in Georgia, right? Phony baloney.
Because all people with dark skin and sub-saharan African features think alike, act alike, have the same interests. The supreme human characteristic, above all else, is skin color.
So says this idiot author.
And he has the insufferable gall to call OTHER people racist and bigoted.

I actually agree with the headline. Disaster and Disaster.
“costal African civilizations were well developed and ahead of anything in Europe at the time”
You just went too far, I call BS on that one.
Does he spy on rivals for the throne of Wakanda?
Lol. If you like your shaman, you may keep your shaman.
Black Panther was also involved in the Vibranium One deal scandal.
Hate that superhero stuff.
However, with the introduction of the trade of firearms to local mussulman slavers the cities were raided and destroyed. The jungle destroyed what remained.
People need to remember that prior to the mussulman conquest in the 7th and 8th centuries northern and costal African civilizations were well developed and ahead of anything in Europe at the time. After the conquest, nothing remained and people were reduced to savagery and squalor, the condition they remained in when the slave trade expanded to the Americas.
Thanks for the clarification. The moment I read it, I knew that gaijin's characterization was a little too tidy. There's no need for such exaggeration...

I think the fix is in!
The honky lib kids in the “media” are pimping this one hard.
I saw the previews for this film yesterday. Told my friend I’d have to be paid to sit through it.
Read the works I cited please. It is history, not some made up BS.
Remember there were hundreds of years between the first contact by the Portuguese and the beginning of the slave trade to the Americas.
