The only reason OP chose to state/clarify this is because a lot of nikkas are running around claiming that BP is "black progress", "black excellence", "pro black" when it's not even black owned. They're the ones saying it's some sort of pinnacle of pro blackness. How can something be pro black if black ppl don't own it? He's not saying don't go see it, he's just disagreeing with them.

One nikka in here even said, "pro blackness isn't about ownership" and got daps. nikkas are clueless, no wonder black americans are behind every other group in america.


I believe a few bros on The Coli understand that and are building, but i'm gonna be honest, most black men my age, including all the ones hyped about BP, aren't building anything. They just care about working for white people until they're 65, nikka trinkets and turning up. And this leads back to my point about us overall not understanding or caring about ownership. This should be one place where we can discuss this without nikkas trying to change the subject but

It's not only Black Americans breh.

I see way more non-Black Americans dikkriding this movie than Black Americans.

You can say this forever, because you never defined what "pro-blackness" actually is.

You noted that ownership is part of it, but you have yet to acknowledge notable parts of black arts and culture that aren't necessarily "owned" wholly by black people. (Who owns the rights to Public Enemy,

Your OP is also incorrect in saying "not a black hand was involved in its creation" when not only the cast, director, costume designer and production designer are black--but one of the executive producers of this film and Civil War is black (Nate Moore).

Basically, as long as there are non-Black people involved in making this movie, you allow yourself to keep moving the goalposts.

The ownership of the Black Panther character and universe is inconsequential to its cultural importance to Black people, and it's strange that you're trying to argue that films like these both benefit and provide opportunities for Black people.
