The Lonious Monk
Celestial Souljah
This dude just likes to talk, but he never knows what he's talking about.
He said Kilmonger didn't respect or like African culture. The same dude that subjected himself to scarification, an African practice, and wielded African weapons. He had no problem with Africa. His problem was with Wakanda, a society that he felt betrayed black people across the world including in other parts of Africa. Also, it's not like he just totally rejected Wakanda's culture. He came in and used their cultural practices to take over.
T'Challa was not anti-African American. He expressed no problems with AAs at all. He was an isolationist. So sure, he didn't want to open up and help AAs. He also didn't want to open up and help other Africans (as Umar himself pointed out) or anyone else in the world either. Umar conveniently leaves out that the movie ends with T'Challa changing his mindset and specifically laying out his plans to help AAs.
Also, it's laughable that he thinks that Disney, when coming up with its release schedule, put any thought whatsoever into some kind commemoration movement that most black people didn't even know about at the time.
