The "Win" ( whatever that is...)
Isn't fictional though, Black people were employed, Black artists across the board received and will continue to receive pay checks off this and white people of course will also make money but I think that's immaterial to the discussion at hand.
But if we're talking about how Blacks operate as a minority group within America (or really any minority group!)
You must eventually cooperate with or interact with white people to make sweeping changes to legislation, to get national or international coverage in media and to fund huge projects like Black Panther.
You have to maneuver the complex landscape of funding, ideation and compromise if you want to produce big and bold products that aren't niche.
The situation which mimics this most closely is the Music Industry.
Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington had to deal with the mafia when performing in night clubs and speak easy's or to get their music played across the country they had to deal with White Owned radio stations. All while reinterpreting show tunes written by White folks at a time when Jazz was at it's most disrespected
by the musical old guard.
This is a story repeated in different forms in both Hollywood, Politics and of course music whether that's Blues musicians trying to appeal to a broader audience or Hip-Hop musicians struggling to be taken seriously as "artists".
In a nutshell the crux of the argument AGAINST Black Panther doesn't fit into reality as it stands now and frankly I think it's a good step forward as depictions of black people beyond really, REALLY played out Hollywood tropes and by played out I mean tropes that are nearly a hundred years old.
Anyone using the argument " well white people are going to make money off of it!" is either ignorant to the way this shyt works in America or is intentionally shyt talking black people knowing this.
I'm hoping it's the former but if it's the latter then I can't abide by anyone talking "pro black" because it isn't matching the words I'm reading.
As for the second part I bolded, I didn't get that vibe whatsoever. A lot of black people I enjoyed the film with last night were just there to see a black superhero. It had nothing to do with Black Supremacy or Black Militancy or Hatred of White People, it had more to do with Black representation in media and letting people know that Black people are fine with paying to see this sort of entertainment.
Who knows, it could be the catalyst which grants a Black Director in the future more freedom or the funding of a big studio thrown behind a project primarily written and created by black people.
All the "i'm 'woker' than you because i saw BP" is ridiculous. It's a fukking comic book movie. The movie may be a cool movie, but what i disagree with is all these Shea Butter twitter nikkas running around here basically saying you're not Pro Black if you aren't all hype about this movie or aren't jumping on the bandwagon. As if this movie alone makes you Pro Black 
Just go see the movie, stop acting trying to push this narrative that buying a ticket = putting in work in the black community.
It's simply a fictional comic book movie, owned by whites. Anybody trying to twist this into anything more is cresting into ridiculousness, because whites ultimately own the intellectual property, distribute it, and control the licensing of anything associated with it.
Then when you point this out on here, a bunch of 30 old men say in response, "it don't matter who owns it!!!" No other group of men, esp in 2018, would go around saying it "doesn't matter who owns" something.
I don't care if you're referring to a movie, car, restaurant, house, grocery store, boat, school, block etc. Whatever it is. It DOES matter who owns it. Only a fool would ever say the words "it don't matter who owns it".
Brehs are analyzing Wakanda, a fictional place, harder than they'd ever analyze or even think about the state of black people in real life.

A cat raised 25k to take some kids to see it, many others raised money to take kids to see it etc, that's cool and all, but why can't we put our money together like that when it comes to black owned projects or start ups etc? When it comes to our OWN stuff, we say we don't have the money to start, or even just support an already existing black business. We claim we're "broke" then. This whole thing just further proves that we do have the disposable income, we just choose to spend it on what we want i.e. NOT our own stuff.
Most of you brehs are trying to act like there's nothing wrong and no room for improvement, and that is c00n talk.
We keep other races businesses booming, yet neglect our own stuff. That's where the problem comes in. Neglecting your OWN stuff.
Where's the same energy for starting or supporting BLACK owned things?
We won't embrace entrepreneurship, group investing or group economics etc.
A black sovereign fund would be a good idea but i know most wouldn't do that, you'd claim you don't have $10 for that
nikkas need to start caring about ownership as much as we care about a fictional comic book movie.
It's cool that you cried or are going to name your kid T'Challa. But what are you passing down to T'Challa?

Of alllll the things ailing the black community along with the systemic structural entities that reinforce those problems ....”nikkas” are upset over black people liking a damn comic book movie ....
These types of topics are how you know whos being productive with their lives and energy and who’s simply looking for instant internet gratification.... ironically the same thing by these movie enthusiast are being chastised for

It just shows me the hive mentality of many blacks.
I have no problems with Black Panther I just have a problem with how HYPE black people are for it.
People really treating this shyt like some kind of pilgrimage and rite of passage
I get mad every time I think how easily we were steered away from Birth of Nation and how easily we are being steered toward Black Panther

You're white, but you're still posing as black I see. Do you have a problem with Asian peoples "hive mentality"? Jewish peoples "hive mentality"? Or is it only a thorn in your ass when it's black people? This is a rhetorical question, because I already know the answer.
