Hit the nail on the head.

I keep saying this, that Killmonger was portrayed to me an evil psychopath with little regard with his allies. If he was portrayed with having more empathy without disregard for his allies, then he wouldve been a much better villain. He’s basically became more of a millitant Joker without the charisma. A one-sided villain that the audience shouldn’t have any empathy with. But because of his end goals, the audience did feel empathy with him. That what pissed me off about his character, if he was white, he would’ve shown more empathy. I think his character should’ve been rounded out more, he wasn’t a soldier, he was more of a robot without any regard other then himself.
I’ve used Magneto as a comparison before.

He’s always shown as misguided but ultimately trying to save his people in a world that despises them for simply existing.

I’ve understand what you’re saying, Joker really doesn’t have an end goal like Magneto and Killmonger. But have you seen Magento ever attack his allies and mutants who allied with him in any media?

HE showed ultimate empathy. Empathy for the one group of people no one has empathy for, including Wakandans. His entire character is empathy for The diaspora. Regardless if his actions were destructive his intentions were good. For black people world wide.

Yes this is true, however I wish he had more empathy towards fellow Wakandans who sided with him. I guess he was just too pissed at them as a whole and rightfully so.

You gotta ask yourself, as an AA, And knowing that the first set of Africans that were sold to Caucasians, were sold to them by other Africans, how would you feel if you could pinpoint that exact tribe? Think about it.

He’s a second generation aa-wakandan himself, by blood. He carries all the things we AA’s carry, and the truth that not only did his own “people” leave their own “people” out to dry and die in WS, but they also killed his father, let him grow up without the same resources that they let all aA’s grow up without, and he has a DIRECT BLOODLINE to them. That’s a double fukk you, and why he was so angry. Bad enough you turned your backs on billions of Africans because “they weren’t your own”. You also turned your back on one of your own. So how can you be trusted?
