RE: Did it really surprise you to hear that the racist antagonist used those

I guess I was just reading deeper into the film that white oppression enraged Kill Monger's father to the point that he betrayed his own people which led to his death and thus created the film's villain. So I guess I just felt white guilt was a major underlying theme in the entire film.

Had a bizarre experience watching Black Panther last night (Spoilers)

Was his statement in the museum wrong?

2/18/18 4:39pm

Yes. The Africans were the first people to enslave the Africans.

Oh boy

I thought it was the Anunnaki - Something new everyday...

Sadly there are slave markets in parts of Africa to this day

Dynasty1

2/18/18 5:16pm

There is still slavery in many forms everywhere

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:44pm

Sure. But that still doesn't make his statement wrong

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:43pm

I wonder why in the world people would feel that way?

2/18/18 4:42pm

Indoctrination

Oh boy

I just don't like divisive, intersectional politics. It's totally against what

2/18/18 6:20pm

It's easy for a white American to feel that way. How

2/18/18 6:23pm

Generalize much? What other fallacies do you want to roll out. Geesh.

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:21pm

Which fallacy do you refer to?

2/18/18 7:33pm

Overgeneralization

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:39pm

Specifically what?

2/18/18 7:42pm

Nice try at the back peddle. You said ‘white America’ not a ‘white person’ in

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:49pm

I'll look forward to your never generalized posts

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:55pm

Oooh burn

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:56pm

Filth? Because it makes you uncomfortable?

2/18/18 8:03pm

Once again, there you go assuming. Will you never learn?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:05pm

Assuming what? You keep throwing out these

2/18/18 8:07pm

Go re-read your posts, unless you’ve edited them like your other one

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:12pm

I didn't edit anything in this thread

2/18/18 8:19pm

You have a very strong point of view that a lot of people on Cougarboard could benefit from.

byujacob

2/18/18 8:13pm

There's probably.some truth to that, thanks

2/18/18 8:21pm

Plus the fact that your argument is based on fallacies and assumptions, but yeah

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:35pm

Nice assumption, boy you sure know how to make a you know what out of yourself

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 7:50pm

Salty

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:58pm

Assumption about what?

2/18/18 8:25pm

Yes, you assume I’m uncomfortable because I disagree with you

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:29pm

What are you then?

2/18/18 9:34pm

No, just someone not afraid to give you push back on your falsehoods

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:36pm

Which falsehoods are you pushing back against?

2/18/18 9:42pm

Which falsehoods do you think I was pushing back on?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:44pm

No falsehoods I can think of

2/18/18 9:50pm

The issues are real but your approach and arguments suck. Nighty night.

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 10:14pm

Nice to see you concede

2/18/18 10:37pm

Are you a white person?

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 8:02pm

Wasn't that the point of the film, though? To bury the past and start learning from each other?

byujacob

2/18/18 8:01pm

Some people are a little delicate, not unlike frozen precipitation

fattycoug

2/18/18 8:10pm

Boom goes the dynamite, dude you are full of zingers

Helm Hammerhand

2/18/18 9:33pm

Yeah the ending was good, no problem with that. Just thought the BLM talking

2/18/18 8:12pm

Did it really surprise you to hear that the racist antagonist used those types of words?

byujacob

RE: Did it really surprise you to hear that the racist antagonist used those

2/18/18 8:53pm

You dont see what that accomplishes? Fine

2/18/18 8:24pm

What are they? Can you provide fact based arguments on specific policy that will

2/18/18 8:44pm

That stuff is a reality, though. And some people are radicalized by it.

fattycoug

2/18/18 8:41pm

Many of these guys won't even watch it!

2/18/18 8:21pm

Ironically BP is in some ways one of the most right-wing films I’ve ever seen.

Dynasty1

2/18/18 4:49pm

What is ironic about that?

scootsy

2/18/18 4:51pm

Because the movie has been hyped by people with a more left-wing persuasion when

Dynasty1

2/18/18 5:15pm

What exactly does wakanda have in common with 1930s Germany?

freekarl

2/18/18 5:40pm

What?! How is wakanda 1930 Germany. It's an isolated monarchy intent on staying

fattycoug

2/18/18 5:46pm

Sounds like 1830s US w/ Monroe Doctrine

scootsy

2/18/18 6:03pm

Exactly

fattycoug

2/18/18 7:29pm

I don't think that stating uncomfortable historical facts has to mean that those are white guilt talking points.
