They never should have tried to take it on.

My concern isn't whose fault it is. My concern is how it affects us as Black Americans, and that is not something with no impact akin to random micro-aggression.

Oh really? Here:

Nope, no resemblance to rational revolutionists.
That's what I'm saying. This movie does not exist in a vacuum. Like I said elsewhere, the FBI's recent "Black Identity Extremist" report talks about anyone seeking Black empowerment being a potential violent threat to law enforcement. The one guy talking about empowering Black people just happens to be a "killmonger" in the film. He didn't *have* to be talking Black empowerment. They could have taken that many different ways. This stuff isn't as disconnected as you think it is, man.

I think a lot of what you're saying here is just defending his character from the standpoint of the story line, while I'm saying the story line was created for the purpose of the symbolism, and it's not coincidence, so I'll skip ahead....

Sure, it could be fixed if Black Panther realized Killmonger had the right about about empowering us globally and then took out the CIA, lol, but I doubt that happens. Also I'm not looking for "non-flawed dogma." I'm looking for them avoid disrespecting us with subject matter like this that they can't handle. There's no real reason that the killmonger character had to be written that way.
