Now you’re over-emoting. Angry, are ye?

Not that I care, but I’m surprised PETA hasn’t panned the movie for the animal skins complete with heads that make up some costumes. Or the NatlTeachersAssn for showing children being trained as sword-gun toting ‘warriors’ who do not solve problems with words.

But back to racism. According to the BostonReview, the movie is racist in two ways. First, because it seems to focus only on American blacks as being mistreated, and second, because a) the ‘spys’ don’t do anything to help blacks, they just spy and b) the nobility wins over the guy who wanted to arm blacks worldwide to ‘liberate’ them - it places African ‘nobility’ self-interest above the portrayed ‘plight’ of American blacks.

to wit: “In 2018, a world home to both the Movement for Black Lives and a president who identifies white supremacists as fine people, we are given a movie about black empowerment where the only redeemed blacks are African nobles. They safeguard virtue and goodness against the threat not of white Americans or Europeans, but a black American man, the most dangerous person in the world.
“Even in a comic-book movie, black American men are relegated to the lowest rung of political regard. So low that the sole white leading character in the movie, the CIA operative Everett Ross (Martin Freeman), gets to be a hero who helps save Wakanda. A white man who trades in secrets and deception is given a better turn than a black man whose father was murdered by his own family and who is left by family and nation to languish in poverty. That’s racist.

all that said, the movie was overhyped, when, after all, it’s just a comic book story
