Racism is the ultimate culprit. And there is no massive issue and alibi. Because it's the truth.I have not yet seen it, but, again from what I've read, there seems to be a massive issue and alibi where the film paints racism as the ultimate culprit
It's what fuelled colonialism and slavery. And was one of the things that created and was the driving force behind Killmonger.
That's false. The people of Wakanda aren't exploited at all.ignoring that the wealthy elite of Wakanda were just as cruel and exploitive as anyone else in their pursuit of accumulation and stability.
Pretty much. Killmonger is the physical embodiment of the CIA and by extension American foreign policy.Killmonger is basically using the CIA playbook and is called out as doing such and we all know how great the CIA is. We share Killmonger's anger, but not his desire to kill all of the oppressors and their children.
The other problem is, that Erik just wants replace one empire with his own. I love that they had him say "The sun will never set on the Wakandan empire" which is a paraphrase of "the sun will never set on the British empire"
