Cut out the Pan-Africanist bullshyt.
Former Third Worlders/Refugee babies always playing that angle.
You yourself acknowledged looking down on AA hoods but want sympathy for Haitians.

shyt is hilarious and "cute" that you're keeping score.
.Typically once I make my point I don't feel the need to keep replying to every post, doggy. Ain't trying to argue anyone into submission. That's what women do. How much free time do you think I have?

Why are differing points of view the same as "tearing us apart"? There's an argument to be made that on the surface BP does make aframs look hyperviolent and far too angry. ON THE SURFACE. But part of what makes BP a great movie is the nuance and layers it presents about the african experience and the discussion it generates.
Arguably most aframs agree that killmonger is the actual hero in this movie. If someone doesn't, so what? Let'em live. The world's not gonna end because someone has a different opinion.
I had not yet shared my impression of the movie on the forum since i saw it. My point is i feel the shyt was overblown both from hype and also peoples interpretation of the movie and there seems to be so much discussion and arguing about a fictional movie.
Killmonger, to me, is like Magneto. He means well for his people but has a different approach on the execution. We've seen this before in history where two leaders come from different angles and people take sides. You have the MLK vs Malcolm X debate in the 60s. You have the Toussaint vs Dessalines debate in the Haitian revolution of the 1790s. On all of these the person that's sometimes depicted/perceived as either bad or over-agressive and violent wants the same thing as their other counterpart; freedom for his people.
Now, Killmonger was depicted as an agressive, overconfident black person with a chip on his shoulder who happens to be african american. I get that. But let's say you wanna rework the story you could have made Killmonger to be Jamaican, Brazilian, or any other nationality in the diaspora and it would still fit righ into the same script. African Americans werent the only ones that were enslaved or have a chip on their shoulder. Bottom line the film makers had to establish someone as a vilain thus why they had him burn the plant because up until that scene he hadnt done anything that was wrong, IMO.
- He came and brought along with him the body of an enemy Wakanda had been hunting for.
- He came in and had a legal claim to the crown and he claimed it.
- He won the challenge fair and square where M'Bakou (sp) failed.
Edit: Cant believe i jumped into this nonsense debate but fukk it.

Art is propoganda...and such a movie as this...which is heavy in political philosphy deserve to be discussed...
Plus it is cool to see Africans that get the Native US Black plight and those who don't
Agreed.
But truth is we all have a plight. It's not like other blacks were in a Wakanda-like paradise thus why many africans still risk their lives to leave their homes and family behind to flock to other developed countries. All these african countries didn't get to declare their independence from the colonists countries until the 1960s with Ethiopia and Egypt being the exceptions. Other blacks across the Caribbean and South America were in bondage the whole time too with Brazil being the biggest importer and they didn't abolish slavery until late 1890s
