The problem is no one in Africa has clean hands with respect to the slave trade.
So no matter if they make a Mansa Musa movie, a Taharqa (one of the Black pharaohs) movie, a Queen Nzinga movie, or an Ashanti Empire movie, the anti-Black movie types would say boycott it while saying that Paid in Full or New Jack City are the greatest movies ever created by man because they show criminality in the black community which makes them comfortable.
The bottom line is they hate being Black, they hate black history, they hate Africa and they hate movies about Black people showing them in power.
For example Black Panther was a movie about the most advanced Black country on earth and still they whined about it.
Why?
Because white guys created the story about it. Well maybe if Black men had bothered to create it themselves they wouldn't have had to. But Black Americans don't want anything to do with Africa, their home continent, so why would they create such a country?
This is true but let's not make everyone a false equivalency either. King Affonso in the Kongo and Queen Nzinga were hardly interchangeable with Dahomey or Tippu Tip and claiming that slavery (usually non-chattel) existing in an African society means they are on par with the crazy volumes of the slave trade is a slippery argument.
If we are going there we might as well fall for the pat-on-the-back argument that the West were the only ones to ban slavery (not completely true) and they are superior to all Africans.
Also, this Black Americans anti-Africa thing is really recent. In the 1990s you had several small Black comic companies with African origin superhero characters; back when Twitter idiots didn't make it cool to shyt on Pan-Africanism.
I think this was the ONE gay nikka out the entire movie. yall are clowns. talking about "most men"
nikkas really out here in outrage as if this will most likely be the last story ever told about Africa
