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

@Like_Water I see your point about the lion pride.

@Like_Water
Preaching the gospel up in here! Lol

On the real though, I think it’s great that this movie has sparked a lot of folks pride and dialogue over all

I’ve enjoyed reading all the post in here. From the obvious trolling to the serious dialogue about identity and etc.

She wasnt a threat to him tho. If you see those actions as close to the same nothing else I can say.

How you know that? Especially in that marvel universe?

He killed and harmed Black women.

end of story

C'mon, Race. I need you to do better than that.

Don't forget that Killmonger's girl poisoned the WW in the museum. That made her a combatant. That made her fair game in war. The woman that had her throat slit was Dora Milaje. She was a warrior. Her job was to fight and die for the king of Wakanda.

You can't render black women free from violence during war, if they're combatants, and then attach a deeper meaning to the violence when it happened simply within the context of the movie.

You know that's disingenuous.

Killmonger was foul for putting hands on the older lady. That’s it.

 

[SeaSnake]

He was foul for killing his girl and yoking up the elder. The fight at the end thats legit combat.

 

[Race Jones]

Killmonger is every hoteps wet dream


he didn't want to free black ppl, he wanted to create HIS empire, submit black ppl to HIS way & orders. It wasn't by chance that he killed 2 black women, one of them a dora milaje, his guard, & started a war between black ppl

yeah he sounds like a real winner to me

 

[Race Jones]

Killmonger proves the theory that people can be swayed by nationalism whenever the power is on their side, because all he is at best is an ethno-nationalist with imperialist tendencies.

I just think yall identify with him because of BAs own displacement and disenfranchisement

other than that, theres not much to be desired from killmonger

 

[Race Jones]

He also killed and harmed black men.

ok so he wasnt for Black ppl wth

 

[Race Jones]

And why are so many people saying he didn't have a plan after disposing of oppressive regimes?

He wanted a Wakandan empire, meaning taking whatever worked for the government of Wakanda and apply it on a global scale, just governed by Wakanda specifically. Did you want a scene of him explaining how empires work? I felt it was pretty self explanatory.

He wanted a Killmonger empire

he didnt give jack shit about Wakanda or its ppl

 

[SeaSnake]

He lacked respect. If he wasnt a straight killer he couldve ook over easier. He was Royal blood Tchalla wouldve let him in the circle. He couldve used that to work from the inside if he was smart about taking over.

But nooooo he was like fuck that I want everything now its a new reign. He had all right to be extremely pissed at the Royal Family for all he knows they viewed him as less than. But all his actions wouldve made Wakanda a target.

So his girl murdering the white woman is to be excused? That doesn't make her a combatant?

Aye, aye, aye. Check this out. Lemme holla at you right quick. I'ma need you to straighten this up or this e-relationship ain't gon work out.

She was out of,combat by then. Unless she was a soldier.

Bingo!!! This was the biggest reason a lot of folks some what sympathized with the character. He did want to liberate “in his words” Black people but he wanted to be the leader or at the forefront of the cause and was willing to do anything to make this happen.

Like you stated he was an angry person who only knew violence as a way to solve his issues. The man was angry at the colonizers for doing what they’ve done to Black people around the globe and he was mad at Wakanda for having the means to help and doing nothing.

There was no middle ground for him and his ideology and he was willing to kill anyone who didn’t totally agree with it
