goddamn twitter is such an encapsulation of what is wrong with society right now. all these morons, most of whom ain't done shyt in life and never will, are so convinced that they matter so much. it's sickening.

[Bleed The Freak]

Of course we don't by Hollywood standards.

shyt Black Panther had to pay the bills starring in that Gods of Egypt bullshyt as the token black.

 

[Blessed Koala]

So all of those books I've read in my black history class as a lad was bullshyt?

I don't understand this thread, what's wrong with what he said?

Edit: Notice the twitter link

Most black folks, at least the one's I know, don't know shyt about black mythology.

 

[ORDER_66]

We do.... BUT WHITE HOLLYWOOD DON'T AMPLIFY THOSE STORIES....

 

[Everythingg]

OR black people can learn true history beyond what cacs tell them

 

[qashif]

ancient Egypt doesn't count?

 

[keond]

Africa?

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Christian Bale, Charlton Heston and Elizabeth Taylor disagree

 

[Treblemaka]

All these people are referencing Marvel/DC characters like white people didnt invent them. Or Anansi etc. which are from the motherland

Every mythos black america creates gets stripped from us and white washed for some cac kids. I think thats what MBJ was referring to. Us not have our own stories in America.
