Please read this as this gives an entirely different angle to what we Africans think about the Black Panther movie.

**Warning** Some spoilers might be spilled here. I'll advice you watch it first before reading this.

Being a fan of the Marvel series, I was one of the millions of people who couldn't wait for the movie 'The Black Panther' after seeing his role in Captain America Civil War.
For the first time in a very long time, I saw Africans come out in drones to celebrate what was finally an 'African' movie in the Marvel movie series. By all means it was (or seemed). The accent, the music, the 'characters'. It wasn't your typical Hollywood African movie which most of the time is subtly laced with white superiority. This was an AFRICAN AFFAIR. I saw how Africans owned it with so much pride by wearing their native attires to the movie theatres (which by the way made me very proud of Africa).

I decided to watch the movie and half way into the movie (of course, basking in extreme excitement), a phrase struck me. If you have watched this movie, you probably heard a lady say this phrase 'Well, you should have come back for us'. Now let's rewind a bit...

Being in the United States for a couple of months, I got talking with a group of black american ladies and they strongly held the opinion that we Africans do not like them and we feel superior to them. I asked why. And one of them said this exact phrase ' you should have come back for us when we were suffering'. The response was that we Africans never came back for them while they were suffering as slaves to the white man. Of course I denied the bogus claims but they held strongly to them. I started looking for answers and I realized that the black-americans are taught these at their schools as part of history. So what this means is that we Africans have been positioned as the people who made the black americans continue in slavery for a long time. There's a subtle dissemination of hate-induced information passed across to the black americans about Africans. Guess who's at the fore front of it? The White Man.

Back to the movie. As soon as I heard that phrase, the way I viewed the movie onwords changed instantly. I started noticing the way in which we are being fed the wrong information which continually makes us stand divided as Africans. Here are the things I noticed about the movie;

They tried to tell us that we Africans are the major cause of our problems and that's why we remain where we are. Internal crisis, lust for power and lack of unity. Let me explain.
1. When the Black Panther was to be crowned king, he was objected by the leader of another tribe who accused him of being weak. The Black Panther had to fight that leader - even though he was the rightful heir to the throne. (Internal crisis and lust for power)
2. Just when I thought the white guy (the thief) was going to be the 'bad guy', I quickly realized that it was a black american, who felt he had been wrongly treated and his father murdered by his uncle (the king) and worked so hard so that he wanted to rule (Another show of internal crisis, greed and lust for power). Now this is the most important. This scene just mirrored what the black americans think of us in real life. Trust me, I have talked with a lot of them. They believe they are smarter, better and are supposed to rule Africa. The seed of hatred is being planted in their minds from school.
3. The very close friend of the King and Protector of the borders turned his back on and attacked the Black Panther when there was a new king. (Another show of disloyalty and lack of unity).

Now what the whites are trying to tell you is this; We are not to be blamed for the woes you face in Africa, you are to be blamed. Which is mostly true but it's all in a bid to perpetually make Africans hate themselves.

Now, another angle to the movie is the fact that there was vibranium (a very rare and technologically advanced substance) in Africa, but the leaders won't share to the rest of the world - which will benefit them economically but rather they masked their resources with abject poverty and continued to make themselves look like a third world country to the whole world . The excuse from the African leaders being that it'll destroy the whole world if the resources are used to make weapons. A show of greed and lack of intelligence if you ask me.

Why do you think an average American will die for his country? Simple! Have you watched the U.S Military films. Most of them will make you shed a tear and show you how far the U.S army will go for their citizens. It's a subtle way to tell you how important an American is. This they do through movies.

The whites did very well in taking themselves off the picture in this movie, but I can bet anything on it that it was deliberate. The major threat to the white dominance and supremacy in this world is the total UNITY OF THE BLACK RACE. They know this and they are moving to stop this asap.
So this is why we shouldn't get overly excited about it. It's not an African movie. The producers are all white. We are playing into their hands. They are feeding us the wrong information. Stop the orchestrated dances, attires and African pride and ownership to the movie. They got you where they want to and are making so much money off you. I bet they are all sitting down looking at us and laughing their butts off.

Not taking anything away from the movie, it's a super movie. I think it's one of the best Marvel movies I've watched so far. A lot of people will think it's over-hyped because there weren't many fight scenes as we expected but I can tell you this; this was orchestrated to give you a background story as to why we Africans are the way we are. Nothing less! Be wise!

We should be a lot smarter than this. These oyinbo people are bereft of ideas and the next stop is Africa. We really need to get our acts together and not dance to their tune. The Black Panther was a nice move though.

Good efforts to share your opinion @OP.

However I disagree with your perspective. Until the black man learns to do the needful to lead the world and tell his story, we should accept how anyone tells our story, absolutely no sentiments.

In my opinion, it is primarily business for the movie producers. When we lampoon the white man in our tales, I doubt they cry foul.

Imagine the entire black race is opportune to read your review, you would have sowed a gargantuan seed of discord in an already ignited world.

All I can learn from the movie hype is, how do I become part of the black revolution to make enormous returns and profit from a related venture? $404m has been grossed thus far! How do I break the race-based culture of unbridled consumption, to ignite unprecedented and unmatched creativity to be greater than any known benchmark? The white man has learnt to surpass inhibitions. Though I am yet to watch the movie, the greatest lesson in my opinion, will be for the black man to get serious and learn to break barriers.

No sentiments. I think everyone who watches the movie should see it as just a movie, and enjoy whatever is worth enjoying.

My 2 cents!

Black Panther is a great movie that showcased first black superhero in the history of marvel studio.

The greatest weakness the black race has is blaming others for its problems all the time instead of taking responsibility for our existence. .The Igbo blame the Hausas , Hausas blame the Igbo , the black trace blames the white race and even individuals blame an unseen enemy in his village .... we need to stop please

The bolded is 100% right but how can we tell our own stories when we unconsciously regard the whites as being superior? The idea is for the whole black race to wake up. When you are continually fed the same thing daily, you have no option than to believe it as the truth. When I was back home, I couldn't care less but you need to find out what the average black american thinks of Africans. You'll be shocked. We are sitting on a time bomb. The movies are passing across clear cut messages. I have witnessed this first hand and I know what I'm saying. There was absolutely no reason making the Black Panther an African affair. Americans are very smart people and I now understand why most blacks in America have problems despite appearing to have the same privileges as the whites. There is a systematic movement.

This isn't about race, it's about belief. A movie isn't just a movie. If it is, we won't have high divorce cases - even in Nigeria. Movies portray weddings as the ultimate fairy tale goal and a happily ever after endings. You won't have someone try to play hero in a robbery scene just because he watched it in the movies.

But if you believe its just a movie, you may be right. I enjoyed it as a movie, but the storyline didn't sit too well with me. It was something I had experienced and it was too much of a coincidence.

Nope I disagree. This isn't a blame game. Racism still exists but it's subtle. Read the Black Panther comics and lets have a discussion.

Great response Chief!

I think I am more preoccupied with the business, creative and success factors associated with the movie. I am not a sci-fi fan though. My wife dragged me to the cinema on Sunday, IMAX was fused with a ton of people. We willingly turned back even after we decided to see another movie.

I will really love to lead a production that will hit the box office worldwide. This is my utmost desire.

On the superiority of the whites, I am working hard to ensure my kids and their generation upturn that verdict. As at today, it seems too glaring that though not on individual levels, but on a trend summation and general assessment, the superiority of the whites whether from time immemorial or at present cannot be contested.

The black race needs to wear its thinking cap!

They tried to tell us that we Africans are the major cause of our problems and that's why we remain where we are. Internal crisis, lust for power and lack of unity. Let me explain.
1. When the Black Panther was to be crowned king, he was objected by the leader of another tribe who accused him of being weak. The Black Panther had to fight that leader - even though he was the rightful heir to the throne. (Internal crisis and lust for power)

There's no rightful heir to the throne in Wakanda. Tradition has it that any child of the reigning king can contest for the throne, even Princess Shuri. The Leader of Jabari tribe M'Baku had every right to do so. Only the most powerful can rule, T'Challa had to prove himself.

This has nothing to do with internal lust for power. Even Shakespearean stories upheld this rule.

2. Just when I thought the white guy (the thief) was going to be the 'bad guy', I quickly realized that it was a black american, who felt he had been wrongly treated and his father murdered by his uncle (the king) and worked so hard so that he wanted to rule (Another show of internal crisis, greed and lust for power). Now this is the most important. This scene just mirrored what the black americans think of us in real life. Trust me, I have talked with a lot of them. They believe they are smarter, better and are supposed to rule Africa. The seed of hatred is being planted in their minds from school.

It wasn't a Black American who turned out to be the villain. It was a person with royal blood in his veins. A Wakandan prince. He had legitimate ties to the throne. Yes he was wrongly treated, found his father dead, never got to see his native land. A land he felt he was capable of ruling. Is there anything wrong with him being the villain?
Is this the first movie ever made that a jealous relative is out for blood for being wrongly treated?
Don't we see all these kinds of brother vs brother, sister vs sister dispute in white movies?
Why does it have to mean that the whites are trying to tell us something??

3. The very close friend of the King and Protector of the borders turned his back on and attacked the Black Panther when there was a new king. (Another show of disloyalty and lack of unity).

Now what the whites are trying to tell you is this; We are not to be blamed for the woes you face in Africa, you are to be blamed. Which is mostly true but it's all in a bid to perpetually make Africans hate themselves.

W'Kabi didn't turn his back on his king because of disloyalty. He only felt the ideas of T'Challa were archaic. That Wakanda was supposed to use their technological advancements and superiorities to help other African countries, stop world wars, and be a global seat of civilization instead of being a cover-third world country.

This kind of shift in "loyalty" due to differing ideas happens all the time in white movies among friends and even subordinates.

Why should we blow it out of proportion because it's in a Black setting?

Now, another angle to the movie is the fact that there was vibranium (a very rare and technologically advanced substance) in Africa, but the leaders won't share to the rest of the world - which will benefit them economically but rather they masked their resources with abject poverty and continued to make themselves look like a third world country to the whole world . The excuse from the African leaders being that it'll destroy the whole world if the resources are used to make weapons. A show of greed and lack of intelligence if you ask me.

How is it greed that they're looking out for the dangerous use of vibranium? Yes it could advance science but at what cost?
For innocent lives to be lost? For weapons of mass destructions to be created and sold in the streets? Endangering precious lives?

This is what previous kings of Wakanda have always taught their predecessors to avoid. . . .such power should be left and used lowkey. If it were available to every tom, dìck and harry, I guarantee you we'd be on world war 12 by now.

Besides, T'Challa eventually compromised in the post credit scene and opened a Wakandan Outreach center where his uncle died.

Why do you think an average American will die for his country? Simple! Have you watched the U.S Military films. Most of them will make you shed a tear and show you how far the U.S army will go for their citizens. It's a subtle way to tell you how important an American is. This they do through movies.

I don't know about you but I saw a lot of people ready to die for Wakanda to preserve their African roots.
I saw the king compromise and tell the world what Wakanda truly is.

I saw a mother ready to die protecting her son

I saw a sister who fought alongside her brother to save her country

I saw female warriors die protecting their home

I saw a woman who drew her knife against her lover to save her country

I saw a future queen fight to save her homeland

And I saw a king kill his cousin in regret to save his people and the world from such monstrosity.

The whites did very well in taking themselves off the picture in this movie, but I can bet anything on it that it was deliberate. The major threat to the white dominance and supremacy in this world is the total UNITY OF THE BLACK RACE. They know this and they are moving to stop this asap.
So this is why we shouldn't get overly excited about it. It's not an African movie. The producers are all white. We are playing into their hands. They are feeding us the wrong information. Stop the orchestrated dances, attires and African pride and ownership to the movie. They got you where they want to and are making so much money off you. I bet they are all sitting down looking at us and laughing their butts off.

Sir,
I owe you something for this.

See how he decided to spin the events in his own narrative, till you set the story straight?

Do you see that apart from this idea of "black is being made to be seen as inferior", he has a projection problem?

Thank you for this brilliant expose.

This has nothing to do with internal lust for power. Even Shakespearean stories upheld this rule.




It wasn't a Black American who turned out to be the villain. It was a person with royal blood in his veins. A Wakandan prince. He had legitimate ties to the throne. Yes he was wrongly treated, found his father dead, never got to see his native land. A land he felt he was capable of ruling. Is there anything wrong with him being the villain?
Is this the first movie ever made that a jealous relative is out for blood for being wrongly treated?
Don't we see all these kinds of brother vs brother, sister vs sister dispute in white movies?
Why does it have to mean that the whites are trying to tell us something??




W'Kabi didn't turn his back on his king because of disloyalty. He only felt the ideas of T'Challa were archaic. That Wakanda was supposed to use their technological advancements and superiorities to help other African countries, stop world wars, and be a global seat of civilization instead of being a cover-third world country.

This kind of shift in "loyalty" due to differing ideas happens all the time in white movies among friends and even subordinates.

Why should we blow it out of proportion because it's in a Black setting?






How is it greed that they're looking out for the dangerous use of vibranium? Yes it could advance science but at what cost?
For innocent lives to be lost? For weapons of mass destructions to be created and sold in the streets? Endangering precious lives?

This is what previous kings of Wakanda have always taught their predecessors to avoid. . . .such power should be left and used lowkey. If it were available to every tom, dìck and harry, I guarantee you we'd be on world war 12 by now.

Besides, T'Challa eventually compromised in the post credit scene and opened a Wakandan Outreach center where his uncle died.




I don't know about you but I saw a lot of people ready to die for Wakanda to preserve their African roots.
I saw the king compromise and tell the world what Wakanda truly is.

I saw a mother ready to die protecting her son

I saw a sister who fought alongside her brother to save her country

I saw female warriors die protecting their home

I saw a woman who drew her knife against her lover to save her country

I saw a future queen fight to save her homeland

And I saw a king kill his cousin in regret to save his people and the world from such monstrosity.


And Lastly, did you know the director is black? Bet you didn't know that.

And Wesley Snipes was clamouring for a Black Panther movie that didn't follow the original depiction of African heritage in Hollywood as far back as 1992?

Please don't let your inferiority complex see things that aren't there. Let us celebrate the depiction of a geat black civilization in Hollywood.

You may be right though. These are clear explanations. You saw it as a movie, very fine. But you mention inferiority complex and that's where I have a problem. Don't be shallow minded. Read the Black Panther comic book and you'll realize it's laced with racism and political issues and had to discontinue at a point. In the movie, there were some jibes at the white people. But of course, I'm making excuses. The black director wrote the script abi? Open your eyes!

Do yourself a favor. Read the comments on the movie (even by the whites) and decide for yourself. To you it was a movie. To people who have experienced exact things, it wasn't one. Celebrate a great black civilization? Smh!

BushWickBill:

Sir,
I owe you something for this.

See how he decided to spin the events in his own narrative, till you set the story straight?

Do you see that apart from this idea of "black is being made to be seen as inferior", he has a projection problem?

Thank you for this brilliant expose.

Spin?? You have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. You see, the problem is, until you experience it, you really don't understand it. To all man his own.

My eyes are open. I used them to see the movie. I have no buisness with the comics, I'm not a fan of it, I'm more interested in the movie. Besides the comics were written years ago

Already read the comments, fortunately I saw the movie not because of other people's comments I watched it because I wanted to see my race not portrayed as slaves, drug dealers or criminals. But as a seat of black civilization.
