Michael B Jordan: "We don't have any Black mythology or Folklore"

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

so people can’t speak on shyt cause according to your mother goose tale ass cause they ain’t gonna “be” shyt?

shut up c00n

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.

ancient Egypt doesn't count?

Be real, they (white society) don't consider ancient Egypt as black. Every year a new "research" paper is released about how ancient Egyptians were more European than black, so fukk em they can have that shyt.

We don't he told no lies
I mean there's nothing but slave antebellum folklore and maybe some obscure fantasy

 

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

Are people being fake outraged? Is he trying to make a legitimate point that AAs aren't inducted into mythology outside of white Western mythos? That we are more likely to know about Zeus than Aganju and that has an impact on our collective cultural imagery?

Or is he on some bullshyt...?
These days I find myself having to shift thru a lot of bullshyt to evaluate the intentions b/c people could just be shytting on him for having a non-blk partner () when he could just be making some actual sense.

I like to give people benefit of the doubt.

DROGAS Wave just came out tho.

Nothing but facts. The lore behind the LongChains is really interesting and I could see stories being done incorporating them.

The best black mythology story ever told about a black man... he beat the machine...

 

[CrownHeights]

Well at least you answered your own question.


Also, Ogun, Osiris, OT, NT, Koran, Vodou, and the rest of Africa would like to have a word with young Killmonger.

You think the general public know who any of those things are? You really believe that?

Some cats can't even name states that start with the letter U.



And this is with whom you want to place faith?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

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

What is the black game of thrones ?

What Is the black lord of the rings?

But he died doing it . I always thought of John Henrys story as a precautionary tale.

He made a comment* about there not being any black mythology. So he's wrong. Just because you know people as ignorant as him doesn't make him right.

* It seems that his quote was taken out of context.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

shyt come on now.

They had to write in white characters in The Last King of Scotland and Miles Davis pics to get made.

You think they gonna let mythological folks ala GOT all be black?

Right now dude playing Hannibal getting all sorts of shyt....

Scarlett Johansson played damn Ghost In The Shell....

Let's ask a more grounded question. What black authors have written any fiction? Mythical or fantasy? Or otherwise?
