>>Chadwick Boseman Says He Drove Past KKK Rallies While Filming Black Panther

Absent local newspaper stories and/or pics from social media, I call B. S. on this. The Atlanta paper would have sent a reporter to a klan gathering that close to them, if they got wind of it. There is nothing at AJC.com.

And the sorry excuse passing as scholastic research driving the "We wuz Kangz" claptrap.

Originally published in English in 1987.

Black Panther ( The Movie) is a racist, nationalistic cultural icon, designed to convince white America of white privilege, intergenerational guilt, and racial & ethnic minority Supremacy. It is skillful propaganda worthy of Joseph Goebbels.

I would say otherwise if “Black Panther” and its message sought to unite America. But it divides America. Therefore I consign the movie to the growing scrapheap of Obama dystopian propaganda. Anyone who does not boycott it becomes a “dimmi.”

What a collection of Black Scabs!

Hope it TANKS in the USA.!

The guilty white media will run with it because it fits their white privilege American agenda. The box office numbers will be played down if mentioned at all but the narrative will be thru the roof

Blacks sure have a lot of “defining” moments. So many in fact they need to redefine the word.

“...black readers”

They don’t go to movies and don’t read because it is considered a “white” thing to do. Imagine that. Reading is “uncool”.

Did you see all of the screaming from the "black community" when a forensic anthropologist went on the Today Show, and unveiled a bust that showed what Queen Nefertiti really looked like. Well, the bust didn't look "black" and the nut jobs went ballistic.
They went ballistic over that? That’s funny considering that it is three thousand year old news

They DO go to movies; that is why this was made. They DON’T buy NFL tickets - just the clothing/gear.

We we to see the new Clint Eastwood movie about the train in Paris where three American men took out the terrorist. It was amazing.

>>The Grand Lake Theater — the kind of old-time movie house with cavernous ceilings and ornate crown moldings — is one place I take my kids to remind us that we belong to Oakland, Calif. Whenever there is a film or community event that has meaning for this town, the Grand Lake is where you go to see it. There are local film festivals, indie film festivals, erotic film festivals, congressional town halls, political fund-raisers. After Hurricane Katrina, the lobby served as a drop-off for donations.

How queer, he thinks that the erotic film festival has meaning to share with his kids. Also his community gathered together to contribute things that one time just after Bush’s re-election for the people of New Orleans who were impacted by the flooding after Katrina. Other affected communities not so much, other disasters that have happened since Katrina (like the flooding from Harvey) are not so much worth mentioning. “But that one football game my senior year of high school...”

>>Wakanda’s rulers have wisely kept their homeland and its elemental riches hidden from the world, and in its isolation the nation has grown wildly powerful and technologically advanced.

How does this fictional nation keep their homeland hidden from the world? How do they keep their borders secure from immigrants and invaders and seditionists?

What happened to the advocacy of open borders and dilution of cultural?

>>The young king will be forced to don the virtually indestructible vibranium Black Panther suit and face a duplicitous world on behalf of his people.

On behalf of his SUBJECTS (subjected to rule by a patriarchal monarch).

>>These characters, she notes, “are rulers of a kingdom, inventors and creators of advanced technology.

Like that “African scientist” who allegedly CREATED white devils as a breeding experiment to distill the embodiment
of all of the hate and evil in the world into “white people”?

Nation of Islam promotes this “theory”.

Comic books are great fantasies and diversions. As ridiculous as they can be it is just fun to imagine a world where the impossible is possible. A man can fly, someone can magnetically control metal with their mind, a person could be invisible, or there could be a black nation in Africa that is technologically advanced.

Great fantasy.
