It would be a waste of time calling his show. He isn't going to engage in dialog just go on a rant with unfunny "roasts". Best to simply avoid the show and catch play back if it is a topic you care about.

He doesn't show up to his own movie releases?

Anyways as soon as the teaser is released we see this clown damage controlling all over twitter.
I don't understand how ANYONE can still follow this guy in freaking 2017.
For somone who calls himself the "Black Authority" he exposed himself with being completely ignorant about African culture.
1. Lip Plates are used by actual African ethnicity in East Africa(where Wakanda is located btw) like the Suri people. The Black Panther film is clearly incorporating multiple African cultures.
2. Spears?Spears are apart of MANY traditional African cultures. The Zulu people today still preserve their spears. More importantly spears are USED in the BP comics.
3. How do we even know thats a witch doctor? Even so witch doctors are seen as HEALERS in many African cultures. Again exposes that he himself is influenced by white supremacist thinking.
He then tries to spin this(him getting exposed) to black nerds and them being c00ns and trying to explain this away.
This is the definition of when being militant goes bad. He is also one of the reasons(it goes both ways tho) why there is rift between AAs and Africans. This is who yall look up to?
I've been saying it really wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be some white guy
Guy is getting ripped to shreds right now. lol
Destroy half of your fanbase who are nerds brehs.

Explain how jason black is one of the reasons there's a rift between africans and AA
You got to be weary of any "pro Black" nikka on twitter with thousands and thousands of followers and hasn't finessed it into a show or a platform of some kind.
All this nikka does is talk on Twitter. He could be in his grandma basement for all we know.
The nerve of him calling himself the authority on anything.
Exactly my point. This weirdo could be a mentally deranged cac for all we know.I've been saying it really wouldn't surprise me if he turned out to be some white guy
Guess you missed the point where I said it goes BOTH WAYS you fool. I said people Jason Black makes the rift WORSE because they say dumbass shyt like what he said in his tweets. Jason Black is no different than those Africans who don't know shyt about AA culture and say AA culture is only Hip Hop.
I wonder if he is going to talk about him getting bodied right now here.
Watch him twist it about black nerds and him getting exposed by having a white western thinking on African culture.

Dear Jason Black aka The Black Authority, I was enjoying what I saw of the Black Panther traileruntil I woke up and saw this…
Let me start by saying that I’m quite aware of your need to stir up controversy, from your days arguing of with Mr. Gates to when you made a hot take about the Nicki vs Remy beef using MY analogy. Now, when it comes to this wholeBlack Panther controversy, I’m just gonna keep it 100 with you about him as I grew up following the character. These are the simple facts about the character:
Seriously, he had a short lived cartoon on BET where there was a scene where T’challa’s father, T’Chaka gave a short but to the point speech to other nations that assumed him to just be another African dictator they could bribe off but he wasn’t having it. Also, the theme song to his show was fukking awesome.
The whole point you tried to make about black nerds who care about comic books are why girls don’t like us…look, for every 5 black nerds you see complaining about love problems, there’s another 5 who are happily married and enjoying being a big fukking nerd. If you wanna nitpick about the race, fine. But people are still HAPPILY MARRIED and NERDY, so at best, you made a bit of a generalization.
In my opinion sir, I feel like you and the fans of yours that agree with you have this very warped idea of what REAL black empowerment in the media looks like. I will agree that I too tire of seeing these white-washed hipster narratives about black people pushed in the media and being praised, but I also can recognize when something decent that’s made for us by us exists. Both Queen Sugar and Insecure are great shows that were written, produced and funded by black people, but for a lot of you that isn’t enough. Honestly, if you ask me, it really does feel like the demand you have for an “empowered” black TV show sounds, well, heavy handed.
You want us wealthy, but you don’t want us showing any of black culture that makes us “look bad” and look bad to who I might add? You want us standing strong against the racists of the world, but you don’t want us too stereotypical or too white-washed. You want black people to make better images of ourselves, but the idea of “better” portrayals seems like a very narrow road as it doesn’t seem to include pan-African cultures, women, gay people, any reference to slavery or anything to do with black people who are successful in mostly white spaces. I’m left to assume your idea of empowering black images exists only in the heads of people who romanticize the entire black power movement of the 60s or in memes covered in RBG flags that spew incorrect facts under the guise of being woke.
Fact is, speaking as a black nerd, I can promise you two things I will have to deal with whenBlack Panther is released: racist white nerds complaining that this is a very anti-white superhero because he doesn’t cater to their feelings like an ACTUAL c00n and radical black “feminists” who will state that T’challa, despite it being canon that he has undying love for the women in his life that includes his mother, his sister (who at one point becomes queen) and his now ex-wife Storm from the X-men, will say he displays “toxic masculinity” because in this day and age, shea butter Twitter believes a good black man is one who acts like her gay best friend more than her lover.
In closing, I want it to be known that I don’t hate you, but I do find it upsetting that you are kind of dancing around seeing that Black Panther is quite honestly the most pro-black hero we’ve ever had as a people. Sure, he’s been written mostly by white people, but his blackest, most authentic moments were written by black people. Hell, when Black Panther’s latest run with an all black team got canceled many of us were upset because we had gotten what we always wanted: all the black heroes coming together and kicking ass. Please, at least attempt to understand why Black Panther is not only important to black nerds, but to black people as far as seeing a strong, alpha male hero fighting for black people and black people alone. You strike me as an intelligent man and I would hope you could at least TRY to shift your paradigm on this.

Now, when it comes to this wholeBlack Panther controversy, I’m just gonna keep it 100 with you about him as I grew up following the character. These are the simple facts about the character:
- Wakanda just within the Marvel Universe is recognized as the most wealthy nation. PERIOD. More than ANYONE ELSE, thus why they have so many enemies.
- Plenty of REAL African civilizations still have plenty of people walking around with spears as it’s a part of their CULTURE. Wakanda does it for that same reason AND because they knowpeople in the West ( like yourself) assume that if it’s a bunch of Africans with spears, they must be broke, which is just a cover really.
- T’Challa is an African hero motivated with a literal absolute distrust of the outside world as nearly every nation and organization with interest in their resources has sent people into their country only to get kicked out. This includes Doctor Doom (who caught hands from Luke Cage over money he owed), the Skrulls (aliens) and other-worldly deities that wiped out the rest of the Avengers. He and the Wakandans have easily beat people that all the WHITE heroes couldn’t beat.
- Also, it’s recognized by essentially everyone in the Avengers that T’Challa could easily kill most if not all of them easily because well, he’s just that badass and intelligent. Smarter than Iron Man even.
- Also, Black Panther was introduced in aFantastic Four comic where he beat the PISS out of them single handedly.
- Also, 2 of the most memorable story arcs were written by Ta-nehisi Coates and Reggie Hudlin.
Seriously, he had a short lived cartoon on BET where there was a scene where T’challa’s father, T’Chaka gave a short but to the point speech to other nations that assumed him to just be another African dictator they could bribe off but he wasn’t having it.
