Funny thing is thats actually true. If they want so bad to bypass African market, agrarian, and cattle based societies to focus purely on hunter gatherer groups then why not focus on themselves.....

The problem is only focusing on them they seem weak as they are in real life

To them, these stories always have to have a "race" in which they stand out

Reminds me of all these alien invasion stories they make which all boil down to ether...

1. What would happen if some extraterrestrial forces did to us what we did to others.
2. Since we fought with everyone on earth what if we had to war with MF'n aliens next!!!

Ran out of new people to fight with on earth so they started manufacturing imaginary alien enemies to do battle with and shyt.

We know damn well that these "aliens" are nothing more than the representation of other races here on earth

These demons not slick

Man I rewatched fukk'n avatar last night...

...and your comment came screaming to mind. Movie gave me a headache bruh, how da fukk this random ass cac who lead to the destruction of their village gone magically lead the entire tribe. shyt was stupid as hell.

That said, I wouldn't agree that aliens are "always" a representation/proxy of people on earth. I would say the earthling alien encounter movie is typically/often a proxy for the colonialist mindset in general though....

• I.E. ok so we've already encountered different races on earth
• ....ooh shyt, what about if we encountered a fukk'n alien race!!! this is going to be a great movie
• (this is generally the way i take these movies)

To be blunt every alien in a movie isn't suppose to be a stand in for Africans, Asians, etc. they are stand ins for the idea of continual expansion or "what if stories" for if cacs are on the receiving end of being attacked(independence day, battle field earth, oblivion, etc).

Seminars could be given examining the white inferiority complex and their never ending desire to attempt to dominate the black man.

You're right, but in the end the whole premise is the white race leading/surpassing/conquering the others.

As a general archetype, that I definatly agree with

With an off and on reflection of "what if we(cacs) are the others"....

Hell I'd be interested in an examination of how it manifests itself in entertainment media(non news / documentary types)
Principally because people often think "oh it's just entertainment" ...which is to me like saying "oh it's just desert".
Like your digestive system(biological or physiological) knows the difference All it recognizes is sustenance it maybe able to use as a resource now or later.
The designation of something as "just" entertainment(or desert) is more or less a memory mnemonics(like tying a ribbon around you finger to remember something) so that you know how much to ingest in relation to other things; or how to categorize/offset what was ingested. Put another way people need to know what they are taking in(and where it came from) even if it's "just entertainment".





Damn I just got all philosophical and shyt .........fukk it, I'm going in coach

If Wakanda and Black Panther were real....the Coli would call them c00ns

If Wakanda and Black Panther were real....the Coli would call them c00ns

I'm in the middle of writing my article now. Here is a hint...

Work in progress

the general issues I have with marvel over the idea of black panther ...or really wakanda itself.
1. How is wakanda sitting in the middle of Africa without being swarmed by migrants/refuges/...students; or at least speaking on the issue(I'm paralleling/amplifying north African European migrants & South Africa here)
2. How is it that multiple African nations came together via the O.A.U planning/engaging in military conflict to end political colonialism(economic colonialism is still an issue) but wakanda is twiddling thumbs on the sideline?
3. How is wakanda on the sidelines while Ethiopia via Haile Selassie rallied other African nations via the O.A.U. and even made the E.W.F. "Ethiopian world federation" in response to the issues of African people abroad?(even offering free land in Ethiopia to Diasporans)
4. How is wakanda on the sidelines while Cuba via Fidel Castro brings an entire freak'n army to Africa to fight against the colonialist?
5. How is Congo being raided for it's resources but wakanda ....well, wakanda is raided so they got that right!!!
6. How is freak'n Muammar Gaddafi forward thinking enough to put up $300mil to buy a $400mil African communications satilite and even push politicaly for the African Union / "United States of Africa" but wakanda is twiddling thumbs on the sideline with the tech to make whatever communications tech Africa needs?
7. How is freak'n Muammar Gaddafi forward thinking enough to conceive of the gold dinar backed monetary system to free Africa from foreign controlled monetary system but wakanda is twiddling thumbs on the sideline with the material reserves(vibranium ore) and infrastructure Africa needs to both build out and defend an indigenous monetary system?
8. etc etc etc
I'd much rather a story about "wakanda" deal/add in this kind of context. Though I have no real prob with "black panther" as an individual globetrotting off to places for various adventurers ...for varieties sake if anything.

Edit:
I originally wrote the quote above for the "comics explained" video on ta nehisi coates black panther run, back around march 2017...

Point being I've held the above opinion over a year now​
