Jason Black/Black Authority damage controlling on twitter about Black Panther film

[BasketCase]

I told you they were the same person

You'd have to be a moron to think they're the same person.

The lip plate is culture...........for a very, very small portion of Africa. Probably only a handful of tribes on the entire continent.

Ethiopian tribeswoman show off their fascinating styles unique to their culture | Daily Mail Online

‘These tribes still maintain their traditions and culture. One example, the lip plate of the Mursi tribe started during the colonization and slavery era where women started to pinch their lips and deform it in order to be avoided to be taken as a slave.

‘With time, this tradition changed and the lip plate became a sign of beauty. The bigger the plate the more beautiful the girl is. Another example, they told me that the Hamar tribe women are not allowed to take a shower for good after marriage.’

Tariq said they're "playing on stereotypes" by having the lip plate dude.

I really wish pbt and black authority would have allowed the movie to drop 1st before going on a rant about its intentions and what it means for black african culture.

Sure Hollywood my misappropriate images not properly explain them etc, but honestly I don't feel that is really the issue here. I feel a lot of our people are simply embarrassed by it, but take the other route of saying white folks are trying to hold us to that, in order to avoid dealing with some african practices that a lot of us don't understand.

Strangely enough white folks always find a way to normalize and re introduce there white primate beginnings in shows like game of thrones and sparta. We have never had a proper chance to do so. And truthfully I just don't feel like a lot of these guys who scream black african power really study africa. If we could get past the awkwardness of looking at it on the surface, understand we ourselves are in a western paradigm that has shamed us at every turn about ourselves to the point most of us are still self conscious about how we look in front of white folks the way a hoe is insecure in front of her pimp, then we could look at african culture objectively and realize a lot of the things they did make a lot of damn sense and we would be more free and healthy practicing a lot of african customs

Here's 1,

You can Google picks of a african male placing his face in the rear end of a cow, many will say eww and shy away from it, but I found out that those people found out that the urine of a cow clears cataracts and blurry vision in the eyes. This is why no one needs glasses. Of course most would say that's disgusting, but it was a natural way of dealing with bad vision. Again awkward but actually kinda deep when you think about it. You have to be mature though.

Facts

Tariq was more so joking about it and simply said "i gotta see the film because we know how SWS are at times".

He had sense to reserve judgement until seeing the film and reserving his judgement.

If an Asian-based movie was made where people were walking around in modern day using Samurai swords, that would be given a closer look to confirm if stereotype is being used as a means to disparage in a backhanded fashion. Why? Because under a system of white supremacy, swords, Kung Fu and other things associated with Asian culture have been used as inside jokes to poke fun at Asian people.

And you keep intentionally misconstruing what I said. I never said I was ashamed of what was represented. I said that I'm a bit wary of how those cultural aspects will be represented from a white media machine perspective.

Peace

Black people were in control in the making of this film, breh.

The black people in control of the costume designs were black.



You don't look at a Samurai movie made by the Japanese the same way you do by Hollycacs.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

Specific African cultural influences in Black Panther:





Sotho Blankets- The Basotho of Lesotho; South Africa (some in Botswana, Swaziland)

Ndebele House- Ndebele people of Zimbabwe; South Africa

Lip plates - Suri and Mursi people of the lower Omo River valley in Ethiopia

Karo children in Omo River Valley

Red ochre hairstyle - The Himba women of Namibia

What else do you spot? Let me know.

No cacs would go into this much research. Cacs have spears, grass skirts, and mud huts, when they want to visually portray Africa.

THIS IS ACTUAL CULTURE.

If you think Ryan Coogler is fukking around, I don't know what else to you.

How would you look at a film that was made by Japanese filmmakers yet financed and greenlit by Hollycacs?

thought crimez laying that knowledge now that's how you supposed to do a video critique, do your fukking homework, JASON!!!!

 

[Crude Abolitionist]

I'm going to add that while I think Jason Black's critique of the Black Panther trailer/film is overblown, I do think that black people must keep in mind that this character was created by a white person/persons and you should be suspicious of any ideas they thrown into this film/character.

My first comment in this thread was trying to tell people that this is still HOLLYWOOD and they hate black people.

Some black people have such low self esteem that they jump up and down when white daddy spends some time on them (AKA a damn movie....)

All things considered Jason/PBT are wrong about some of the African culture stuff and it really makes me wonder.

 

[Real]

Never surprised of the dumb shyt/ppl yall nikkas give legitimacy to....

 

[Tom Foolery]

Black people fight over the dumbest shyt.

We are easily divided.

And thats the thing there are two different things going on.

1) JB sounds like a clown with his take on African cultures.

2) in order to save face people are deflecting attention from 1 to focus on weirdos who think this movie is going to end white supremacy or something.

Dudes deflecting like hell to save face.

I like them name-dropping other black owned creations that deserve attention.

A lot of us trying to put out positive black content and with the exception of a few supporters, most black people seem to overlook it or don't care.

Shyt gets frustrating at times

 

[Bawon Samedi]

LOL wow just lost respect for PBT. With a lot of these youtube personalities shyt is just about ego. You got people telling him they disagree and he's getting emotional like a little bytch being disrespectful then deleting comments.

If you're too sensitive to face any kind of criticism then you shouldn't be making videos at all.

Yep this clown was deleting comments.
