There should be no repatriation so much as rightful citizenship in a country which black folk have unquestionably helped build. I’m not Native, so I don’t want to speak on their behalf, but I’m saying you and I have no real claim to their lands without their say. While some tribes do try to exclude African Americans…

Wish you posted more on The Root, because you are an amazing writer.

I left the movie hornier (TMI, sorry!) than I have been in a while. Everyone was so goddamn beautiful. Danai and Lupita and Letitia and Angela all looking like perfection, and Chadwick, Michael Baeeeeee, Daniel, and Winston fine AF. Can you believe that Chadwick is 41 years old?

I love Mads Mikkelsen. He is unbelievably sexy.

Right? TF? This is not about us non-black people, nor should we make it about us. We can’t keep taking black created content and claiming it as our own, while perpetuating anti-blackness.

Hispanics have a pretty long history of systemically oppressing black people. Try again, asshole.

Yeah, me pointing out the pervasiveness of anti-blackness in Hispanics is totally “us vs them” (I’m not black, btw). Asshole. This is what folks mean when they say POC are not your allies or friends. Don’t trust anybody who can’t even acknowledge their own role in upholding white supremacy.

I don’t know. I’ve seen more and more comments like this being brought out of the greys. We gotta flag and dismiss, that’s it.

Hey, I am usually on the same page as you, but this land belongs to Native Americans. We don’t have a claim to it anymore than colonizers have any claim to any countries in Africa or Asia. They’re still here.

Yeah, being Mexican doesn’t make someone anti-black.

Yeah, I didn’t watch Black Mass because fuck Johnny Depp. The movie was so long which I think had a hand in dragging the story line. I thought the movie was a lot like Batman Begins, except less up its own ass. There were quite a few issues (Tilda Swinton playing the Ancient One, for starters), but it was enjoyable…

What’s racist about this, exactly? “Allyship” doesn’t mean you share the lived experience of another marginalized group. Stop with the strawmen.

If your allyship is making demands of people who are typically at the bottom of the hill down which shit rolls, you’re not much of an ally. If your takeaway is that this post is about “alienating” non-black people, instead of asking non-black people to make an effort to make themselves a part of the community they’re…

This has been my forethought. As swollen with pride as my heart is for these kids, we have failed miserably to protect them. Why we keep putting the onus on them to be responsible for their safety from monsters is beyond me. We have to do better.

I think he’d have torn down/dismantled Wakanda after the weapons were distributed, or worse, enslaved most of the Wakandans and make them do his bidding. I meant his desire to kill T’Challa was more from a personal place of wanting some sense of justice for his father’s death, and since T’Chaka was already dead, his…

Cumberbatch was surprisingly good as Dr Strange, but agreed that they should have just let him use his British accent. Wonky American accents just ruin everything.

I think his desire to kill T’Challa is much more personal than his overall desire to tear down Wakanda for not having done more to help its oppressed brethren the world over. He just wants an eye for an eye, vengeance for his father. I think if he did come back, he’d be less naked in his ambition to destroy…

Magneto is exactly who I thought of, but also Arya Stark. He also has a pretty horrific disregard for human life, especially as someone who has witnessed the loss of it from a very young age. I initially thought the scars he wore on his body were an atonement for every life he took, but really, they were trophies. And…

I would think his resurrection against his will would further fuel his anger, or possibly give him the opportunity to redeem himself. What he didn’t want was imprisonment in exchange for his life, but if it’s not the Wakandans bringing him back, I don’t see how it would conflict against his story or character…

Fair point, but I’m still operating on the assumption he’ll be resurrected and come back officially as the Golden Jaguar.
