RE: Why Black Panther Is The Best Marvel Movie Ever & Maybe Of All Time

in #africa7 years ago (edited)

I am personally appalled and offended by your racist and hate filled remarks. However, I would lay down my life defending your right to express them. Because, I wholeheartedly believe

“that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes safely can be carried out. That, at any rate, is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment. Every year, if not every day, we have to wager our salvation upon some prophecy based upon imperfect knowledge. While that experiment is part of our system, I think that we should be eternally vigilant against attempts to check the expression of opinions that we loathe…”
Abrams v. United States, 250 U.S. 616, 631 (1919) (Holmes, J., dissenting)

With that said, I now offer my thoughts on your remarks.

As to “[t]his film is liberal propaganda run amok.” Your statement is far from the truth. The movie is based on a comic book superhero. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the Black Panther. The Black Panther first appeared in the Marvel Comic Book Fantastic Four #52 in July 1966.

As to “[t]hey have to create a fake African country just to try to make Africa look majestic.” You got this one partially right. It is true that the African nation of Wakanda is fictional. However, your reason for the creation of the fictional country is way off base. It is part of the story and relates to how the Black Panther gained his superpowers. Stan Lee creates backstories to explain how all his Superheroes gain their powers.

Your next paragraph goes on to blame blacks for destroying neighborhoods, cities, and countries. This is out and out racist. You have managed to buy into the negative stereotypes about a group of people based on their skin color.

I question how thoroughly you read the post, because your response is in direct opposition to @humanearl’s excitement about an “honest and positive representation of black people;” instead of the negative portrayal of black people by the media and entertainment industries. Yet, you claim to be a fan? Then try to derail @humanearl’s excitement and pride for his African heritage.

Going back Justice Holmes’ dissenting opinion “the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.” Your opinion is NOT ACCEPTED, ergo it FAILS THE TEST TRUTH!

As you are new to the platform, you would be wise to read @valorforfreedom’s Steem School posts.
