Of course you of all people would speak out of turn.

I’m not a character in a movie so I don’t have a plan, that’s why I never said I did, but I’d imagine they’d receive the same level of indifference and apathy they’ve given the Black community for all these years.

I thought we might be able to have a conversation but I see you’re just talking to yourself. I said nothing about the theme of the movie being pacifist No, I did not buy a ticket to a Marvel movie with the hope of seeing a simulated slaughter of White people you. And again you are putting things in the movie that were

I guess I just realized I’m a villain because I don’t understand this second wrong you’re speaking about. On an individual level, the king of Wankanda killed his father, a prince of Wakanda, leaving him unprotected in an unsafe place and without the family and privileges of royalty and technology that were his

Whoa, now I’m like an African warlord? Y’all are so much more serious than I am about this movie. But if it’s that important, I’ll keep playing.

How’s that non-violent politicking going for the Black community? Have they stopped using our taxes to pay cops to kill out children yet? Does Flint have clean water?

Whew. That was a long way to say you’ve never read a book about how land is secured for governments and kingdoms. Murder our enemies is pretty much the mantra of manifest destiny and it’s alarming that you’d believe anyone moral would build a country on slave labor after raping and pillaging to steal the land.

Firstly, I don’t think what I said would lead you to believe I in any way think Native American people are our enemies. I do not, however, think our debt to them is on the same planet as what White people owe them. We are not complicit here. I do not believe deference to their situation should prevent us from doing

I get wanting to be respectful to our Native peoples. Friend- real question, I’m not being cheeky-on who else’s land would you suggest we’re repatriated? Our abduction, relocation, rape and forced tribal intermixture makes it impossible for us to simply go back our original land. Many of our ‘origins’ were themselves

As a Black woman, I never expected someone flinging around wildlife refuge comments to call me a hotep, but here we are. What a unique box to check on my bucket list, so thanks for that.

We have right to our freedom. Everything else you typed is some oppression apologist stuff that I can’t understand.

Cool. I’ll say hi to your mom while I’m there.

Unless we admit the power and scope of White supremacy, we’ll be speaking two different languages. White supremacy is an enormous ideology benefiting not a handful, but hundreds of millions of people. This has been true for centuries. White supremacy doesn’t only benefit White people. Other cultures benefit from their

I don’t disagree- the studio would’ve caught hell for letting him win full out. I’m trying to think that was Coogler’s conciliation effort to those of us who could relate to the villain. He gave him fantastic lines, good motives, and made him capable of beating the king. He let him win and when the hero bests him, he

Do you not realize he was fighting against people killing us and our children? So they kill us and our children, and he should write them a note? I’m tired of that apathetic ‘be the bigger person’s ‘turn the other cheek’ bullshit. They kill us AND OUR CHILDREN with high tech weapons, low tech weapons; they kill us

Yeah, I can see that.

The alternative (in this based on true events universe regarding at least the plight of Black people part) is Black people continue to be killed and oppressed, but just not as quickly as we would in a ‘global race war’? You’re right, we can’t know an outcome for a war powered by a fictional substance. What we do know

I just can’t connect with that perspective. He was clearly the villain of the movie, so we’re expected receive anything he does through the lens of him being the bad guy. I get it. The previous kings had councils, but the ultimate determination was the king’s alone. Whether he burned the herbs or gave everybody free

You need some help.

What?
