Killmonger’s motives were questionable? Uh, he wanted Black folks around the diaspora to be free. What’s the question?

The audience at my local theater was very diverse and that made me happy. Good to see everyone coming out for this event. Don’t let the trolls win.

Hotep confirmed.

I’d sign up for a revolution lead by Nakia, Okoye, and Shuri.

No, Doreen St. Felix, it isn’t the ‘lack of brown’ in her skin, it’s that it doesn’t look like her. Otherwise, love it and the rest of Sherald’s work, as well. But I really wish it looked like her.

Watch how Killmonger treated every woman he ran into, starting with the security guard and finishing with the priestess he almost strangled, and then tell me with a straight face that his “Wakandan empire” wouldn’t have been a patriarchy that puts Margaret Atwood to shame.

Magneto is absolutely the correct comparison. Extra-apt because X-Men was inspired in large part by the Civil Rights movement. He’s the classic “correct grievance, wrong solution” villain in comics, and that’s definitely the way Killmonger is portrayed in this movie.

#TeamNakia b/c it’s more than one way to start and win a revolution.

Haha. Long Live the King.

Plus Letitia Wright was already cleverly taking down colonizers on Black Mirror before we even saw Black Panther. She been about that justice for black people life.

Am I the only one that thinks that Fox News will find a way to twist Tweets like this to their narrative?

Yeah, I’m with this. Killmonger was wrong for all the right reasons. His liberation motivations for me were overshadowed by his thirst for power. Yes, he wanted to square the world’s wrongs...with himself as emperor. That’s not justice, that’s supremacy. And I don’t trust his arbitrary criteria for global equity,…

“No blacks playing aliens” Why shouldn’t black people be aliens? It’s a part they can and have done so well in the past. As an examle, one of my favorite actors of all time:
