the jokes about "Hotep Hogwarts" and the like?
perhaps giving the air of "look at this Negro trying to make a Blackity-Black school" beneath the legit issues dude has?

because then, I could see it.

or at least the annoyance with the POV at least.

at the same time I see no one (there or elsewhere) clowning what is going on in Jackson, Mississippi. even over there. in fact, what the Lumumbas (RIP Chokwe) have been able to accomplish there thus far is amazing.

I do think that problematic aspects of these ideologies and movies do need to be addressed, however.
