OPINION Is Marvel's Black Panther movie really a "special moment" for Black America??

King Du said:
Lol, y'all do realize that the black Americans are the villains right??

We are not the good guys in this movie....

Lol this movie is specifically about Africans beating the shit outta black Americans who just want to be accepted...

Like that's the plot. Lol

The movie is not big upping black america...

It's villianizing us while big upping the Africans...
The exact thing y'all doing to me.

Aww man, the irony is killing me.. this is what happens when non comic fans get caught up in comic book shit.

Lol

Here is the thing Du

Not one black person I know or encounter think African culture is superior. Because most of us know that African culture is our culture....we just been disconnected. So...again...I cant get with your argument that a Black american is somehow corny, desperate, and self hating because they want to explore a culture that was TAKEN. We didnt come over here voluntarily and say “fuck our cultural roots” we were stolen and forces to abandon.

Quiet as kept MANY of the things we do now within Black american culture can be traced back to....you guessed it


AFRICA AND THE CULTURES WE TRIED TO PRESERVE SINCE THE FIRST SLAVE GOT HERE IN THE 1600s

Ok bruh, you got it.

From this point forward I will only emerge myself in an African culture I know little about while every African I encounter continues to reject me.

Let me just forget every experience I've had in my life that shaped me to be the man I am today because it's more important to study my roots than it is to examine my environment.

Cuz that's what everybody else does right?

King Du said:
The perception that Africans are the perfect black people, and by embracing their culture we erase every ugly thing about ourselves that we not proud of.

Example is the over infatuation with this movie. I wonder if Niggaz did this in the 80's when coming to America came out

Du.


Relax. I havent seen any Black american praise African culture while undermining their own.

Black American culture permeates every facet of society. Hip Hop is global, Our fashion, hair styles, vernacular is global. Our food pairings is global etc etc

African culture is just as vast and far reaching and so what if Black americans and those throughout the diaspora want to embrace it.


For so long niggas thought Africa was this dismal, disease infested hole in the wall (Thanks to white influence and propaganda) and now we are all starting to wake up and see Africa as this grand, beautiful place, rich and vibrant.


Black American culture is dope, Im certain we all realize that and take pride in that

African culture is just as dope and Im glad ppl are starting to realize that as well.

Remember we dont have to monopolize this shit or
scale it down.

Black people all over the diaspora can embrace and love a variety of things and it doesnt make anything/anyone else less important.

What's foul about trying to reclaim your stolen history??

Ain't that that y'all telling me to do right now!?

Dude believe because his family at one point came from Africa he should be an African King.

Ain't that what y'all Niggaz believe??

We all kings n shit??

"either or"

no one said you had to forget those experiences in order to learn about your origins...no one is saying its more important to study your roots, however, as the saying goes, if you dont know your history, its bound to repeat itself
 
So wait...

If Du is correct...

We got a movie with set on a fictitious African country with the antagonist being African Americans...playing "Thugs"....

Seems like more of the same for "Us"

Oh how the plot thickens !

So it's ok for you to romanticize and feel good about hood movies, but niggas can't do the same about a movie centered around our cultural and ancestral home? Is that what I'm getting here?

You, sir, are being hypocritical and I want nothing further to do with this ridiculousness.

are you even trying to engage in actual dialogue today or you just posting shock posts?
 
@AP21 why the nosign?

Is what Du said incorrect?

I don't know the anything about the old comics, but is the character Michael B Jordan playing cannon?

Or made up for the movie?

Yo when Niggaz start shitting on my favorite movies, music, and undermined powerful movements with the blanket. " We tired of seeing these images". I take offense.

Those images are essential, moving, and often more honest than anything else in the world.

But we tired of seeing them and welcome fiction as it's replacement.

That's what I'm seeing. That's borderline denial. Which is why I'm taking the stance I am.
