Well, we can agree to disagree on the self love thing, but the bottom line for me is that I ain't tripping off of anyone who find BP inspiring to better themselves.
Ok, I have a question. So when Black Panther came out everyone was embracing their African roots.

I don't see the problem in black people enjoying entertainment. its almost if you guys think we are not allowed to have some respite and joyful moments.
granted the movie was orchestrated by Disney, but it did feature a majority black cast and black director. In an ideal world, we would have our own studios/machine and create/dictate our stories, but it has to start somewhere. there are videos of young black kids interacting with the cast/director and they got emotional cause kids don't get to see people that look like them being major "heroes" in movies all the time.
now, i'm not one of these foolish folks that thinks "representation" will lead us to the promise land, but I also don't feel like nikkas need to get on their high horse about it on the internet because they didn't participate in the hype or whatever.
it was a blockbuster movie that some enjoyed, it should just be left at that.
I don't think the sequel will have a similar impact as its a sequel, and as with most popular things, something is cool until it becomes too cool and then the popular thing becomes shytting on it. as this thread already shows somewhat.

You stay worshipping crakkka owned property but thinking you’re Malcolm X
I’m sure Disney appreciates your free advertising of their products

I thought this was a troll thread, but it's not really. Reading some of the responses, I think people are deliberately avoiding answering both parts of the question.
If you go by the things posted on social media accounts during the opening of BP, and then read things posted on those same accounts about a year later. it would seem like a drastic shift.
I think high level marketing was responsible for both sets of public displays.

Well said
My statmenet wasn't really about the garb. It's about the amount of energy and attention shown to entertainment as opposed to other things for one's development.

It was sadly a fad sold to be a trend. When things are a trend it undermines the underlying reality behind it. Meaning if black pride is a fad then the illuminati can sell W/S all over again!

So when part 2 comes out soon are people going to put on this act for a few months again?
