Reignite? 1) Panafricanism never died in the first place
2) There are panafricanists on the ground in Africa from America now doing actual work, building, uniting people, etc, but giving revolutionary views to a Marvel *villain* is "more" than that? *facepalm*

You made a post not too long about about Yvette Carnell & Boyce Watkins where people were using the term "hotep" defined partly by afrocentric views (which Yvette doesn't even have), and that was supposed to be an insult. NOW panafricanism is cool because it was in a marvel/disney film? See, when you make this kind of statement, you can never say that you don't place more value on white backing than what your people are doing. James Small, Anthony Browder, Marimba Ani, Yosef Ben-Jochannan, etc all doing nothing according to you huh? Enjoy the movie all day, but no need to disgrace the ancestors and living legends like that.


There's also this:

>-the black ppl mad on the internet are hilarious. wake up

But you also had your own problems with the movie. Namely his request of Nakia and the unnecessary CIA agent. So.... wake up? I mean, stop criticizing this all-black cast and just let folks send any message they like to our children, fam.


There's this too:

He was written that way for a reason.
He said some true things. Some things we all could agree with.
Yet, he was also violent and problematic.
Think of this in terms of the recent "Black Identity Extremist" report. In that, you are considered a potential terrorist solely for caring about the empowerment of Black people. This is an actual FBI report. This movie basically took that idea and made a character out of it. Black empowerment and violence aren't supposed to be separate in the minds of the masses. Good negro vs Bad negro. I'm saying this movie does not exist in a vacuum.
