I have probably said this a thousand times since Charlottesville:

This is so on point. Also guns are all they ever had. If they had decided to run up on foreign shores gunless... I’d be in full Wakandan regalia right now...

I grew up in Miami, where I was usually the only white kid in the entire class. I was used to being “exotic”, the lone pale face in a sea of brown and black students. I was definitely treated differently by the teachers (who were almost all white). I didn’t realize why they treated me so differently—I thought it was

“This puts the armed advantage disproportionately on the side of white folks, and does little to ensure that those who might actually need fire arms to defend themselves against armed aggressors including the police have access to those firearms.”

I will answer you as I answered them:

Sadly those homicides are usually committed against women and children, some of whom aren’t dedicated gun fuckers.

Oregon was created as a whites-only paradise — a white people Wakanda if you will, though people didn’t dress like Anglo-Saxon farmers and conduct trials via ordeal.

I remember going to South Carolina where my mom and stepdad live with my fiancee. We literally were counting the number of black and Hispanic people we saw that weren’t related to me. I think I saw 5 black people who weren’t my kinfolk. We didn’t see anyone Hispanic.

The entire way this country works is by convincing white people that they are the underdogs in their own personal movie. That anyone that is different is just like the baddies in every action movie they’ve ever watched where one white guy slaughters an arm full of brown people. And that we’re all just waiting for the

“Or maybe this fear is karmic. A belief that, once we “get on top,” we’ll treat them the way they’ve treated us. And that fear drives them to do whatever they can to maintain their position.”

Whenever I leave my hard candy shell of NYC and venture in the great flyover, which I am now calling Whitelandia after reading is article, I am constantly shocked by the sheer amount of Whiteness out there. And I’m WHITE! I was in Oregon last year, and in the 7 days I was there, I never saw a single poc once.

This fear is why they’re so obsessed with arming themselves with multiple human killing machines. It’s why they fight against even the notion of incremental disarmament so vehemently. They are scared shitless of us. Of anyone who is not them.

Killmonger relied on the heart-shaped herb, and then tried to destroy it. Like, he wasn’t even thinking beyond his own lifetime, as though he were somehow going to be the Last Black Panther. Considering that thinking of children would require thinking of a partner with whom to have them, perhaps the article is

Actually, his violence toward women is exactly what I expected from his character. I would find it odd that this ultra militant man without a strong female figure in his life could even see women as an equal much less deserving of his respect.
That apartment scene in his sleep gave me everything I know: If you’re not

In what way was his GF in his way? He was going to kill Klaue anyway. He also didn’t care if she lived or died. So the hostage nonsense makes no sense. She died because she dared to love and support him, that’s actually a closer parallel to real life than most of what happens in the movie. Choking a grandmother is ok

if anything i think Nakia was a better foil to killmonger. when we first see her she’s in nigeria (i think) helping out black women. so wakanda wasn’t completely isolationist. we had this woman who not only wanted to help black people abroad. but she wasn’t interested in being queen either.

Loved the article, one thing I feel like we should talk about is how violent Killmonger was specifically towards black women. He was a revolutionary, true, but also a wanton Mysoginist. He killed his GF in cold blood, he choked out an elder, slit the throat of a Dora Milijae and his biggest diss to T’Challah was, i’m

Killmonger was basically Levar Ball. He made some solid points but ruined them by being a colossal dick about it.

The outrage isn’t just from the West. It was Chinese citizens who first registered complaints along with Africans from various nations.

Just because it was learned from the west doesn’t mean they get a pass. It’s 2018 B
