I’m listening to the Kendrick Lamar song “King’s Dead” and the second part of the song he takes the persona of Killmonger and the lyrics sound callous and indifferent. But then I checked Genius and it says Killmonger’s father was killed for trying to use the country’s resources to liberate exploited black people, and now Killmonger is killed for having the same aspirations.

I know marvel is CIA shit but what the fuck is this trash ass imperialist movie

Is it literally “The guy with the scary name was actually correct, but he killed a baby for no reason and now it’s okay to sell out our people to the western interests”

    Starting a few years ago I started to ignore all superhero movies. Before I read your comment I knew hardly anything about Black Panther. Over time I've seen "CIA op" comments about it at Hexbear but - man, my imagination failed me. I had no idea it was that bad.

      At the end of the movie, the protagonist decides "yeah this guy had a point we should be doing more to help" and his alternative solution is basically charter schools

        Again this is not exaggerating at all, literally what happens. I'm 80% sure there's a lottery for it

      The CIA stuff isn't an exaggeration btw. Martin Freeman literally plays a CIA agent who pilots a plane to shoot down other planes that were delivering arms to the oppressed peoples of the world
