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

See...

this is where you and those who think like you are dead wrong in my opinion...We do and did care whenever our stories are told.

but tell me this 5th

when is the last time if ever...a portrayal of Black people in this type of manner was done on a global scale.

We tried to but it gets no backing. Or we wait for white owned studios to do it for us. And what am I wrong about?

Still doesn’t negate my point. Quit the straw man. If I say Shaq was a bad free throw shooter, don’t respond with “but he’s made free throws before”. That’s how y’all are arguing right now.

my point is

imagine how hard it was for spike to do that over 20+ years ago

you think black people just walking to the table with that sorta clout to demand money for their films to be made? hell you dont have to go back that far. See Nate Parker for "birth of a nation"

over 100M was spent on marketing along for this movie.

As much as I prop up Will Packer and what he did with Girls Trip and other movies that have proven to be winners at the box office, he not even getting that kinda backing.

5th Letter said:
When black historians tell us about our history when black people who research tell us about our history and how we were kings and queens and were/are royalty no one cares, when black film makers put out movies about our history showing positive images of black people, it gets nit picked for “historical inaccuracies” but Disney and Marvel makes a comic book movie and THIS makes black people realize that we are/were royalty and kings and queens? And I’m the one tripping? If this movie made you embrace your African heritage then cool, but don’t wear that ignorance on your shoulder like a badge of honor.

We do care and take heed. And of course a true story will be nitpicked for inaccuracies because its somebodies life bruh and IMO folks have the right to gripe about false or inaccurate shit being portrayed when telling someones life story or experience.

Its just baffling me that people are real deal salty about a fictional story about african royalty....thats being marketed and handled with care and being intentional about not misrepresenting the continent, culture and people from which it was inspired by is bad fucking thing. That this fictional story is inspiring people to dig deeper...or that people are legit happy because for the first time on a GLOBAL scale we are being portrayed as nothing less than regal, royal, strong, proud, intelligent and nuanced. Like the narrative of the story isnt originated in struggle...they werent losing then fought thier way to a win....they were already on top...already winning and conduct themselves as such.

I literally dont get how any Black person can be mad at that.

BDP asked me a specific question which was black movies that depicts black People similarly to Black Panther. And I said they don’t get pushed or we wait for white owned studios to make them for us.

These same people with the mindset that you have about Black Panther, is telling me that all these black folks doing extra stuff is ok? So black people who spent years studying black history telling us about our history are the wrong ones, but Ray Ray who has a gripe with who’s behind the film is the one in the right? Got it. But then Disney and Marvel makes this film and this is the one and if you question anything about the overreaction then you’re hating? Got it.
