Yeah.... I’ve had friends from Ireland, and when I tell them “yeah! I’m Irish too!”, they’re like “lol. Where were your parents born? Where were you grandparents born? The fuck you’re Irish.”

I can’t imagine how devastating it would be for an African-American to hear something like that from an African.

Yeah- Africa is a BIG place. We’re talking hundreds of languages, thousands of tribes. Even today, there’s over 50 countries with more genetic diversity than the rest of the world combined, several times over.

Honest question- Why do people like these? Because I really don’t get it.

If you want to be taken seriously, get your facts & terminology straight.

Like a stick?

There’s simply too much to work with for Killmonger

Too many of us feel we should be noble no matter what.. as if we should be comfortable or accommodate ourselves to our oppression.

Now if Killmonger had wanted to turn Wakanda into a refuge for oppressed blacks across the globe, or bankrupt the imperialist powers in Europe and America by creating a single African currency based on Vibranium I’m pretty sure T’Challa would have at least been willing to check out a Powerpoint.

It reminds me of an overly sappy popstar version of a classic christmas carol.

George Washington Carver discovered over 400 uses for peanuts. Researchers have found hundreds of uses for cannabis. Despite the existence of other kinds of energy, pretty much everything we do revolves around electricity- We’ve figured out how to make it do almost anything: Light, heat, motion, magnetism, to bond…

Exactly- Killmonger’s motivation wasn’t “you killed my father”, it was “you stood by and watched while my- OUR- people were kidnapped, enslaved, oppressed, and murdered for 500 years”.

I think the movie was too *dense* to fit it in.

I’m not saying it was a *good* thing to put the mentally ill into crowded, inhumane asylums and give them electric shocks, I’m just saying maybe it was a better idea than giving them cable news shows and Twitter accounts.

And also, don’t forget this whole mess started with the damn Hugos. The Sad Puppies shit, which then led to Gamergate.

I’m always happy to see any kind of voter registration drive, but honestly, using a foreign country- even a fictional one- as the focus of the campaign just bothers me. Especially with the current Russian situation.

Okay, first, it was fucking awesome.

Yeah, I really thought the whole “communing in the spirit world with all the previous Black Panthers” was going to be attributable to the Soul Stone.

All I kept thinking was: Keanu Reeves minus the looks, charm, depth, likability, and acting skills.

I think *being* a musician changes that. My favorite is still early grunge-era alternative stuff from when I was 16-22, but I also listen to a ton of new music, and a much broader selection than I did then.

Valerian is totally worth watching for the first five minutes. Legitimately one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen on film.
