OPINION Is Marvel's Black Panther movie really a "special moment" for Black America??
- Thread starter AP2.5
- Start date
you are talking about two different things
im no comic savant, but iirc, i thought Luke Cage (also created by a white man) was supposed to be the social commentary that equated with the Black Panthers movement out in Oakland.
Black Panther character has a completely different arc. This family lineage has their own technology, own country, etc...how is that bad??
but to the comic dudes, please correct me if im wrong
goldie, you gotta start somewhere brah

So what is the standard we should be setting exactly?
It's 2018!!! We (blacks) were doing better in the 90s, we're going backwards. Yall can't tell?

Didnt you hear about the last nigga who swung @ me
nah because the premise is nonsensical......there are a lot of things currently going on we could debate, this cannot be one of them
how?
i think it diminishes black america's struggle during black history month...
niggaz hate themselves so much that they completly will ignore their own culture and will full on adapt a fictional comic book nation.....
niggaz botu to be rocking dashiki's talking bout they from wakanda completely ignoring their ancestors pain, struggle, and progress in america..
black history month is supposed to be about black history....here in america...
not african culture...the african struggle ain't part of who we are today....
niggaz was slaves, and have been trying thir best to make it out of that slave class mentality in a country that is constantly trying to keep you there...
that creates a unique mindset..a mindset that has produced some great minds, and greater accomplishments that have helped all man...
we can't ignore that story a fictional one....or one that is not ours..
but we constantly do it.....
every year it gets worse.....
but this year might be the heaviest blow...
the blackest movie in hollywood that has nothing to do with black american history is coming out i black history month......

Creating our own companies to distribute our movies, music, etc. That's why I support Tidal as strong as I do and cringe when niggas say they rock with apple/spotify over tidal, when tidal gives u more and is black owned.
This is the streaming age, that's why Netflix is dominating the way it is. If we supported Tidal like we should, it could potentially be the next Netflix, but we don't support our people.
From the 31:30 mark to about the 35min mark is what i'm trying to say
It's about changing our mindstate and raising the bar.

You got it dude!
i get what you are trying to say, but personally speaking, i prefer the ecosystem that currently exists with google play. I have a one stop shop that requires only one account. I can view youtube vids ad free, and stream unlimited music available in the library.
Arent i supporting Jay as well by streaming his album on google while he reaps the financial benefit as well?
lol @ hill i'm willing to die on.....
bruh, folk wearing dashikis to an unknown african region during black history month is irony at it's finest.....
niggaz will proudl claim wakanda over south side chicago for the next few months, and be dead serious.....
and tell me what exactly that does for south side chicago?
tell little kids they can be make believe african princes one day if they believe?

that shit ain't inspire shit but mad jokes and quotables....
niggaz really talkign bout taking off work, taking their kids outta school for this movie bruh......like this shit the million man march.....
