I kinda would've liked for his arguments to be presented better and with a better plan, if not by him then by someone else. It's like the one Black person who wanted American Black people to get some justice just happens to be evil as hell. That's not coincidence. The depiction could easily be read as Black justice claims being inherently violent and terroristic. All that was needed was another Black American voice who felt similarly with a more feasible plan. I don't mind his character, but without balance it's like they were saying "this is how yall American Blacks look who want Black folk to be empowered." That was the person who represented me and every other American Black person in that movie, and he's really only a reflection/product of white terrorism without the wherewithal to realize it. I reject that.

Aside from that tho, the movie is really good.
