It also creates a legitimate parallel to modern Africa.
You’ve got advanced technology - why are your neighbors starving and desperate? Why didn’t you raise them up to your level, since you’re so strong?
Oh, right, like much of Africa, you’re a tribe, not a nation, and the other tribes don’t matter.
We’ve got our super-suits and had electricity for centuries, you people go die of malaria and starvation because you’re as much an outsider as the whites.
Of course. Wakanda First! Walls, immigration restrictions, mineral resources, education....Merica.
Many years ago I read Thomas Pakenham’s book, “The Scramble for Africa”. Had a lot of history on Africa and it's colonization in the later half of the 19th Century.
Africa, until the Europeans arrived in the 16th century I think, had lived the same way for thousands of years. As opposed to cultures and societies in other places, the Africans never evolved past a certain point.
The tribes were nomadic, primitive, and basically lived from day to day. To my knowledge they never invented much of anything and remained the same never developing as so many other places did. The causes for this I can't answer, although I have an good idea.
So you have the Black Panther movie with an advanced African Society but somehow they never shared their technology with any of the other tribes or countries. How does your Liberal with White Guilt explain any of this???????????
