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

At some point y'all Niggaz need to ask y'all selves why y'all keep going back n forth with me if I'm so wrong and misguided.

This ain't the first hill I died on...I never will forget how y'all tried to say a black woman shouldn't play Nina Simone cuz she was too pretty

All I have to say is....

I truly question your love for yourself and your people

a lot of people got saved after watching Passion of the Christ too

but i bet that dont mean nothing b/c according to Du/5th letter logic, if it took a movie for you to get saved, then you was going to hell anyway

More straw man arguments. That’s how I know y’all are missing the point. But nice try though.
 
Fucking call me misguided or whatever you want because of how excited I am about this movie...

We discussed this movie at an all black inner city high school I mentor at..

and them babies (especially the ones that saw the movie) faces lit up at the fact that they have NEVER seen BLACK people portrayed in such a regal and powerful manner..

it literally changed the way some of them felt about themselves because the WHOLE FUCKING WORLD is celebrating BLACK PEOPLE.

I bout cried as we were talking about it.

So the fuck what its ficitonal

I have seen first hand that this fictional movie has sparked something in these babies that wasnt there before....

Shame on you for not introducing that shit to them earlier
:ainttrippin:
 
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.

Dont do that Du....

Like was stated before...

different things and mediums inspire people differently

and given that the younger generation are a lot more visually stimulated than we were as kids...

a movie like BP will go a lot further.

And to add...

I discuss a myriad of topics...

Talked about Mans Musa before and the fact that Hannibal was black

and there were Black emperors in the Roman empire

as well as the Mali and Songhai empires...

and that moved them as well...

but to SEE that shit on that grand of a scale...

to SEE themselves represented so regal and powerful...

and have the WORLD stop and ackngowledge that as well...

Be more specific with your question.

your gripe as i appreciate it, is people who are looking at a fictional form of media to take an interest in their heritage

so, Amistad was non fiction, do you have any gripes with that?

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.
