Are Blacks really powerful in the west?

[Mortimer]

In africa obviously not, but in the west they are really powerful through political correctnes, hollywood, media, and such. On German TV I saw a advertisement for the movie Black Panther, and the voice was highly enthusiastic who introduced the movie, sounded highly enthusiastic about it and praised it very much. It is actually a Black Nationalist movie, Im not against it and will watch it but I noticed blacks are really powerful. Recently we had a Black President and now we have a self identified black Vice President.

This movie is actually Black Nationalist, it portrays Blacks in a futuristic setting which is very highly advanced and powerful etc.

There has never been a black president or vice president since Obama was half Scottish and Kamala is half Indian/Caucasian.

Negroes are their own worst enemies. They could excel if they wished, but they choose to wallow in their own ignorance.

But they do excel somehow. No other race could get away with a BLM movement. And in sports and hollywood they are highly overrepresented. This movie is all black cast. Did you ever saw a all any other race cast?

Self-Identified Black.

It seems to me you are too influenced by the media/propaganda and if you really wanted to know you would seek out some sociological peer reviewed papers in some scientific journal(s) and look at books etc..

I saw the movie. Its not black nationalists.
The movie is kind of like the reverse of how a nazi trying to get racial revenge against the "others"
The antagonist wants to get rid of the non wakandans whites for revenge. Hiding from the rest of main society.
The protagonists stops him

Self-Identified Black.

So what ? I look British in a dark Scottish or Welsh/Cornish kind of way so does that magically mean I turn into a 'black Irishman' if I choose to self-identify as 'Irish-American' ? I have an Irish name and there is a connection between Scotland and Ireland. Plastic Paddy !

I think you could choose to identify as irish though. You need to view it through a ethno-cultural lense and societal context though. In america there was historically the one drop rule, and also blacks tend to claim people with partial black ancestry, while whites tend to reject people with partial black ancestry, this is just how it works in america. Also self-identification is important, as long it makes some sense, and is not against all cultural norms which it isnt that obama is black. it just makes some sense. you just say that for political reasons, making him less black, because he was president and you dont like him, if he were just a hood guy, you would not really care.

Even Africa is leaps ahead of the Roma community though. Look at Ethiopia's Rennaiasance dam... what is the Roma equivalent of infrastructure self sufficiency? Why even open such a topic being a GYPSY?
