    Okay bro

    You need black hobbits instead of a a slave winning freedom?

    Or half men half Panthers? This is what inspires.


    Then you had the nerve to put the*sigh* as if you wrote something we should know.

    Good Lord

    By evil whitey helping him. Blacks needed whites

    As opposed to black hobbits I guess

    He was a slave. What is your issue with whites being important in gaining freedom. Of course that's the case

    Same in Amistad.

    @Rocket River

    If there are black dwarfs in the fictional Lord of the Rings it's because of white writing and movie making

    don't see anything weird about it. It's a tremendous thread. Everyone is talking about it. Great great great ratings.
    can you believe you can no longer rate threads with 1-5 stars? I just noticed that.

    Ok, now I get it. @pgabriel doesn't think fiction can be uplifting.

    that makes no sense but now this thread makes more sense.

    I didn't say that. My issue is black people's stupid issues with 12 Years

    Don't care about Black Panther, but that doesn't mean I'm criticizing it

    I'm really trying to understand your argument. You don't know why people are taking to a super-hero character the most popular pop culture genre over the story of Solomon Northup? Or that Black people should want better for what they attach themselves to movie wise? Mass appeal vs culture? Well isn't it because superheroes represent the best of us without follies?

    It is so hilariously nonsensical that I take it for pure entertainment value

    What was your point about black actors and LOTR?

    Edit: Read that post again. Don't know why you brought it up.

    I don't know how black panther came about. My point isn't about it being a comic.i don't care either way. More concerned about 12 Years. I am kinda of tripping on Black Panther means to people. But that's cool. It's just it seems like this is what we want. Not 12 Years.

    That people like you are ok with getting excited about movies that are racially uniform
    without having to got all WHATABOUTISM (I understand that is a russian thing) about some other movies

    Where were you when Lord of the Rings coming out saying .. . . WHY DIDN'T PEOPLE GET SO EXCITED ABOUT LINCOLN!!!!!????
    You didn't care. . . .and to come here now acting like you give a **** about black people, 12 years a slave or anything is just crap

    Move along comrade. . . move along

    Did you see the movie?

    Don't want to give the plot away but there is a social message.
    Also the sister of T'Challa is portrayed as tech genius , like Tony Stark.

    People also love Super hero movies, so it appeals to the masses

    The Ten Commandments, made in 1956, is probably the most famous slavery movie ever made and is full of white people. Derp.

    Why should Americans be more interested or invested in European slavery than their own slavery?
