Black Panther premieres to the general public this week. And as we all already know, it will be the blackity, black, black, black, black, black, blackest thing that will ever happen in the history of black people, blackness and people. So black that instead of ticket stubs, the box office will give you a reparations check. So black that instead of popcorn, the concession stands will sell buckets of white tears—frozen, caramelized and sprinkled with Old Bay. So black that apparently the first 15 minutes of the movie is just an Ida B. Wells hologram playing spades with Danny Glover. So black that at each theater will be actual Black Panthers with actual black panthers on chains ready to sic on white people.
Naturally, all of this tremendous and transformative and transcendent blackness has made some of us self-conscious. Sure, you listened to Lemonade and you drink lemonade every day, which makes you sufficiently black. But are you black enough to even watch Black Panther without getting vertigo? Without being overcome with PTBD—post-traumatic blackness disorder?

I’ll fail before even taking it...not the least bit interested in seeing it either.
This movie is going to cause some problems.
I’m gonna laff if it’s a huge FLOP...................
I made the mistake of going to a Miles Davis concert once.
Don’t want to make that mistake again.
Whitey got to know his place.
From the sound of it, I’m white enough to know I don’t want to see it.
Which is likely.
We Waz Kangz And Sh-t
I’m not black enough to take the quiz. I surely will not willingly see the movie.
Oh, now we have to be ‘black enough’ to watch a frakin’ movie? /s
Was not planning on watching the overhyped garbage anyways....
I hope this movie bombs.
Over 40 yrs. ago my brother dated a lady from Buzzards Bay, Mass.
She referred to a certain demographic in America, as “speahhh-chuckahhhs.”
I believe there was a character in the original MASH - book and movie - with that name.
I imagine going to this movie would be like going to a Rap concert. There will probably be gang fights and shoot-outs in the parking lots afterwards.
Last name, Jones.
Oh I think it’s going to further fuel BLM.
Am I still allowed to read the comics I have with Black Panther in them? Me being white and all.
Granted I didn’t follow his solo books, but I never got an impression that the character was all that concerned with race. He was too busy being an Avenger and head of state.
“I believe there was a character in the original MASH - book and movie - with that name.”
I did not know, or forgot that.
Anyway the chick was very pretty, and had a strong New Englander accent. It was funny when she spoke.
The demographics of Buzzaaahhds Bay from whence she came, remains 98.5% white btw.
But of course, as any liberal/leftist will tell you, that is only because whitey has been keeping them down and stealing everything from them for hundreds of years.
