Ah, how very Barack Obama-ish
Of course, Obama would never try to stir up insurrection or anything like that. Neither would true-believers in him. /s
Ooooh God...
Wakanda, ie Galt’s Gulch.
Exactly. Anti-colonialism is what ruined Africa and made it the hell hole it is now.
Is he a super hero that just happens to be black....or are we just concentrating on the fact he’s black.
If the latter, not interested...
People can only take so much of the social justice crap. They are injecting every bit of black power schtick into this movie like they did to Selma and that movie bombed.
And the white leftists who are egging this movie on? They are doing it purposefully so that regular folks will get pissed off, then they can point the finger and scream racism. But in reality, it accomplishes white leftists goals, because white leftists are the real racists.
“This is fantasy . . . We’re in Africa and we meet an entirely new nation that the world has never been to . . . This is a nation that is highly developed, and they are so because they didn’t get interrupted by or assaulted by colonialism.”
Yep. Definitely fantasy.
>>”This is a nation that is highly developed, and they are so because they didn’t get interrupted by or assaulted by colonialism.”
Ooooh God...<<
I thought Cameron cornered that market with Pandora. I think this Wassamata is cultural appropriation.
What a load of crap. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much silly hype for a movie.
> It’s not necessarily because it’s the first time we’re seeing a black superhero;
Oh? What about Hancock? What about Blade? What about Steel? (Okay, forget Steel: the movie was terrible. Shaquille O’Neal couldn’t act his way out of a wet paper bag.) But what about Spawn? What about Catwoman? Doesn’t Halle Berry get extra credit for being both black and a woman?
What about all those crappy blaxploitation movies from the 1970s? Surely Shaft, Superfly, and Cleopatra Jones qualify as superheroes.
If it turns more African Americans towards education and intact families then I’m all for it. Right now, if you took all the African Americans and put them in a decently sized land area to start their own nation, 1/2 of them would starve while the other 1/2 fought against the others for supremacy.
B.b.b.b.b.because he's Black?
If you want to see what happens to a people who are not “interrupted or assaulted by colonialism’, look at the lost tribes of the Amazon or the Australian aborigines. these people were left alone for millennia, and in the case of the lost tribes, still living a paleolithic existence, hunting and gathering, with no agriculture . a real Wakanda would probably also be yet another one of these, just with shiny pieces of metal that they have no idea what to do with.
The comic was created by 2 white guys...Whites always seem to do the job....It seems blacks don’t want to do it...The great black doctors,teachers etc on TV...Someone else(usually whites) are the ones putting words in their mouth...
Real life black doctors and nurses create KILLER KING HOSPITAL,TRAGIC JOHNSON,cowardly black firefighter,or black teachers create CRAPPY URBAN SCHOOLS.
With affirmative action securely in place,blacks don’t have to do their best...Just have to have black skin...
According to the presiding narrative, Africa was peaceful, prosperous, and technologically advanced until Whites got involved there.
And the only thing keeping Africa from being peaceful, prosperous, and technologically advanced now is that Whites used to be involved there.
And all Whites everywhere are bad and should be erased and replaced.
Hahah I know, because colonialization “interrupted” African states development... beahahahahahahhaaha
You can complain about European colonialism all you want, but anyone who thinks European colonization “interrupted” their development is beyond laughable.
Europeans brought hundreds of years of advancement with them and when they left the natives ripped it to shreds and sold it off because they were sadly too ignorant to realize what they had.
Boomlakalaka..
We waz kangz.
I think the key point that the author is trying to make is...they’re black.
We wuz kings.
All the hype in world won’t help this turkey
