LOL!
The Black Panther character was created and made famous by white guys!
To: 2ndDivisionVet
LOL, again!

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the two white guys who created the comic book character Black Panther, were both Jewish.
Someone better tell Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, and LeBron James!

I don’t go to movies because I can’t afford them.
And I haven’t heard of a new one coming that interests me.
Any new Eastwood or Costner movies coming out?
