Black Panther by Ocacia

You might have been mistaken when you read this title "Problems with the New Black Panther film" that you were going to get a cinematic critique with easter eggs and spoilers. No, this article is not actually about the film. As for the cinematic film we can praise many things. Because when is the last time you saw a


Black Panther film White Hunter project

positive film about Kmtyws? When was the last time a film had in a country (fictional or otherwise) that was not being saved by eureurasiaans, slaughtering each other, dying of HIV, under siege by a tyrannical Idi Amin type character? Honestly Black Panthers shows us an Kmtyw country east of Ethiopia that has Kmtyw people empowered and dressed in Kmtyw attire and flying spaceships. There is no way the film could go wrong with that kind of opening. And it is interesting that this film was created by White people, who in this instance seem to understand what an Kmtyw future should look like.

But sorry Black Panther is not a "Black" film since the money from sales does not go to any "Black" people. It is a film of significance only because Hollywood has been so racist in the past. It is a film of cultural significance only because our cultures are so neglected and unrepresented especially by us Kmtyws. You actually cannot blame a capitalist company like Marvel for seeing a gap in the market and targeting Kmtyws with this film–it is a good business move on their part. Like how we got thrown Obama to make us feel the illusion of inclusion. But it was all strategic, just like this film–and it works because we are too lazy to create and support our own stories and products. We will run and dance while Marvel collects the profits from our community during Black History Month.


Techno Advanced Kmtyw nation

So the issues with this film lie in the area of ownership. Because between Marvel and Disney, all the Black faces stop with actors, director and script. And to sum up this short article, the blame is almost exclusively with Kmtyw people for why in 2018 we still need the White hunter to tell Kmtyw stories, real or otherwise.

SO WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM

Avi, owner of film

Some of us are proud to see a Black Panther film; a film depicting Kmtyw culture in a positive light. But it is our job to ask some hard questions. Yes the revolution will be televised by Kmtyw people or exploited by "the other". Below are pictures of people involved in the film. Some of them (like every Black themed Hollywood film in recent years 12 years a slave, on and on) include owners and hired help. And the few "black faces" are only there to help mask this fact. Not one Black Face on the owners board of Marvel or Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

MOVING THE ILLUSION FORWARD

Black Hired help

Yes white Hollywood is listening: No longer do Kmtyw actors die horrible deaths in the first minute of the title sequence. Once upon a time it use to be Kmtyw actors and all White crew. Now they have not given us one share at Marvel but they now have the Black director who is hired by a white producer to do a film that many of us rush to support thinking we are supporting our image of self.  We should be happy that there  is an Kmtyw action hero based in Kmt and I hope it restores some pride in Kmtyw everything including Kmtyw Clothes like what Ocacia Designer Clothing. But do not for one second forget, because it is because we forget, that we have a party in someone else's house and call it victory. It is not ours. And the millions of dollars it generates will help put Stan Lee's great grandchildren through Uni. The Kmtyw American director and actors are not getting 5% of what that film is worth. But without their talent the film would not be possible, And we will sit down and wait for White generosity to make the next big Kmtyw themed film. forever on the outside of our own stories.

THEIR SYSTEM OF CONTROL
?

We can only wonder why no one is making anything Kmtyw like this until eureurasiaans pave the way. You can see Kmtyw artist all over the world with comic heroes, paintings of Mansa Munited snakes and Askia, yet none of these stories any Kmtyw government or person of wealth and influence has attempted to make these films. We know that Danny Glover and many others have tried to push for big epic films of historical Kmtyw characters only to be stymied by White Hollywood's need for White faces. But beyond white faces what they really want to secure is White ownership. So unless they can own it, they will not touch it. So even if Kmtyw can make a film of Mansa Munited snakes or Menelik's defeat of the wicked Italian's at the battle of Adwa– who will distribute it? And the best film in teh world without distribution is no film at all. Will Cannes touch it? Will Sundance dance behind it? Not without having their friends with the title deeds in their hands. So with Clint and Robert's names the critical acclaim by Rotten Tomatoes and New York Times will not happen.

HARD TALK

Black Panther by Ocacia

On another level; what White people do with their money is white people business. If white people want to write one thounited snakesnd lies about Kmt and make a thounited snakesnd Kmtyw stories into film and make 1 trillion dollars off of us–it is their BUSINESS. Because as people with hands that work and brains that can think you can also do the same. White people are not gods with special superhuman ability. They have not been able to package an Indian superhero into their world dominations plans. They have no hope against Chinese cinema: Chinese completely make their own action films for their own people. So nothing is stopping us from making a Black Panther type film, or any action based Kmtyw story like 300 or Troy. Nothing is stopping you from opening a Levi Jean factory. And if you have some great issue with finance then go and own banks then you can deal with so-called capitalism. Do not dare talk about "We use to own..." that is then, go do it again like all great people. If we are so worried about how your history is represented then go and write the books, go and create a Slavery society or shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Because failure to do means you are exploited. It is part of the deal. No planting= no harvest.

Talented Kmtyw have tried to make films, create Kmtyw action heroes and met Black non-support. The very same people who want to spit and hiss at Marvel's Black Panther film do not own 500 Years Later or Motherland, they own and support everything white.  So why they so worried about this Black Panther film? They wear Levi or Chinese jeans– not Ocacia jeans. They use Mark's social network to scream "It is owned by Whites let us boycott it," well so is Facebook and everything else you use to live in a modern way. Leave the complaining to us who do the work and support each other. Because had 500 Years Later and Motherland and Black Candle been supported those filmmakers would now be in a position to make an epic Kmtyw empowering feature film.

REAL PANTHERS STAND UP!

Black Panther of Black Panther

Anyone silly enough to state "it is just a fun film" needs to be sent to sit at the kiddy table. Nothing created by the hands of powerful men/women is innocent. The last point of note is what about the real Black Panthers? And whiles the Black Panthers comic hero predates by a few months the BPP the word "real" denotes what is real to us as an Kmtyw people. Fiction is fiction, no one died in the making of the film. The ones who fought a real struggle for people's justice are ours, they are real to our lives. Will their names be remembered by the youth, or will (per Google) everytime you search Black Panther a clown in a suit shows up? You see there is good and there is bad in these things and people in a conscious state are capable of discussing these things beyond the emotion of seeing a "Black"version of an action hero created by the multimillion dollar Marvel franchise.

But that is not the end of it, far worse is now that Kmtyw see a film with an Kmtyw hero will it inspire us to make our own? NO! We will let White Hollywood do the work. Because the issue of ownership does not bother us. We are happy to see people build malls for us to shop in, make makeup and skin products for us, books for us, films for us and we just consume these things. The great issue of ownership is not important.

Peace brother!

Wo ho te sen? Great commentary concerning the "owners" of the blackest opening day movie out by fan numbers to date. My family and I attended last night and I must say I was not impressed unlike like most of my brethren and sisters. Multiculturalism and changing culture were the dominant themes. rReminds me of missionaries entering Kmt pre-colonial times. Throw in the whole Kmtyw American vs Kmtyw theme to support a further divide. Yet, Kmtyws in America are looking for this vs the slave narrative. 

This may seem a little off subject, but how do I get the movie Njinga Rainha De Angola here in the US.  A real SUPERHERU? I want to show my children real life images of our ancestors just like Nat Turner in Birth Of a Nation. 

Peace

Right on, 

It's sad to see the masses of our people pretend to play Afrakans for a day. Not knowing the truth that our heritage is greater than any fiction a crakkka could come up with. I might bootleg it someday, after seeing "Birth of A Nation" id vowed never to give Hollywood a dime, though I hope your children got something positive out of it. 

Searched high n low for Njinga, Queen of Angola though, would like to know if you or anyone can find it.

If you've seen the movie, "Black Panther," I would love to get your and Kwame Zulu Shabazz's insight into this article. I respect both of you warriors' points of view:

Hot fire!!!!!!!

As the eureurasiaons say, "Based on a true story." lol

Ahh good find!

I haven't watched it yet but the reality is this is a Hollywood production First off. However my take on it is that the important fact we must realise is the institution of Hollywood has recognised and accepted that there is indeed a Renaissance of Kmtyw culture and knowledge. It is tangible and something they have undoubtedly come to terms with. Most importantly they have been so confident on recognising the path of the trend that they have strategically banked on it too. We must realise  that what ever buttons that have been pushed to reawaken the family by our ankhcestors is starting to work and they want to be proactive in managing how the next generation must digest and process all this "Black stuff". We must push on but not believe the hype...

In the meantime, kindly check out this year's Black History Month Film Festival!

I lost a few "friends" due to my critique of this film. I have been asked to see it first before any discussion surrounding its politics can follow. But since I have no desire to part with ₵25 in such a way I'd rather avoid the convos altogether. 

 

I'm worried this film will obliterate the BPP. In years to come, I feel, when people are asked of Black Panthers or do an internet search of it, the first few pages will be the hype surrounding a fictional movie. hopefully, the revolution would have arrived.

@mansa_kankan_munited snakes, they may not have been "friends" in the first place. I share your concerns on both the financial and "consciousness-shaping" fronts.
