Black Panther smashes all-time box office records

[Dandelion]

Saw the movie today because of the hype. It was actually a lot better than I expected. There were a lot of themes about Black empowerment and nationalism, but I was impressed that in the end, they ended on a positive note.

I don't understand the uproar from White conservatives about the film. Are they angry that it depicts a technologically advanced African nation when currently that isn't a reality? If anything, I thought that was a great example for Black kids to aspire to rather than the ghetto rap garbage they see every day.

They need to play Sid Meier's Civilization games and send Zulus to space.

Personally I cannot judge the film for I haven't watched it, but it's very hyped and people are politicising what ultimately is just a film based on a comic. Not being much of a fan of the superhero/comics genre, I wasn't particularly interested. However, I'll probably give in to the hype in the end and watch what it's about. Why the hell not?

Still the way people told people that they're racist if they dared giving it a bad review, it's what contributed to the current attitude. It's not just white right wingers who are being ridiculous here.

IDK any white conservatives mad about the film, they probably went to see it. Let us not forget that oppression, slavery is and has been global.
There are slaves in Libya, India lots of places. Black Africans today traffic young girls to Europe and other place for prostitution.

Sargon made a 45 minute video on it, but that's the way he is. I can enjoy some Sargon videos, but the guy is way too sarcastic far too often it's too annoying to me. His videos are so long it amazes me he has a side channel atop of his main.

Yeah obviously. But there is also a very specific African American experience, and Black Panther is a product of American culture. So I think bringing up slavery in every other corner of the world is just besides the point.

It was a good movie overall and pretty thought provoking. I liked one part where the woman warrior was complaining about wearing a wig, saying it was disgraceful, I think it was meaningful because Black women are just socially conditioned to hide their natural hair or wear wigs or extensions to fit in.

Have not seen the movie so I will wait to comment on the movie specifically. BTW they do weave and skin bleaching in Africa also.

Yeah, that's a resort of following Western beauty standards which was my point.

Oh I can see that to some degree. But even all cultures had colorism. Workers labor is in the field get more sun, the elite are not.
