Black Panther is for film what Barack Obama was for the presidency
CNN ^ | February 9, 2018 | Issac Bailey

Posted on 02/11/2018 6:13:29 AM PST by C19fan

For a few hours starting next weekend, black America will exhale, something it has not done since the Republican Party chose as its presidential nominee a man who rose to national political prominence on open bigotry and 58% of white voters made him President. For a few hours, it will be a veritable black American holiday, a kind of revival in the middle of Black History Month and the second year of the Donald Trump era.

It’s a freakin’ movie. And if it’s made like the other Marvel movies it will be a fun joy ride for a couple of hours.

If it isn’t, people won’t go.

Its only a racial thing if it fails on that count. As it should.

But to start writing about how backward the African history is simply not necessary. It’s not a history lesson. It a movie.

Umm no, and given that the lame arse Clinton Network thinks the Black Panther movie is the bomb, more the reason for me not to watch it.....bet.

As a Marvel fan, I am cringing about how SJWs might have already ruined this movie.

I hope they did not. I was looking forward to it.

This is the last movie where they can show where the Soul Stone is before A:IW.

Black Panther is for film what Barack Obama was for the presidency: Genre, fantasy.

Dystopian sci-fi? Contrafactual history?

It will be the typical over-hyped movie. Huge 1st weekend, moderate weekend, box office death thereafter.

Also, without being racist, Whites have a history of not paying to see moves about Black-focused racial issues.

We can’t read this sh*t. If this is how the cnn article starts, I can’t make my eyes look at the rest.

The only way for this movie to be to film what Barack Obama was to the presidency would be if it were made from a roll of wood shavings and therefore not eligible to be considered a film.

What gets my goat is stupid crap like this:

“But Black Twitter, and beyond,”

Website like “https://www.mcdonalds.com/365black/en/home.html/";

These are the racists. What’s wrong with “www.mcdonalds.com”?

If caucasians had “white twitter”, you can be assured they would be sued into poverty within minutes of launching.

Anytime you separate, segregate, divide a people against themselves, you win. Crap like this is proof.

CNN is still forced on the public in airports and medical offices, by a special deal CNN offers.

And The Black Panther is pink all over just under his skin.
