The title says Ben is shitting on excited black people, when he does no such thing. So yes, it is completely misstated and is clickbait to lure gullible readers like the TC.


So wait, his sarcastic response wasn't actually making fun of them or the situation then? That makes no sense

Ben's got a point. People are wetting themselves over this movie. It's being talked about like a cure for cancer was discovered.

Yeah that is pretty much the only point I agree with. The reactions have been way over the top.


I wish y'all around when American sniper came out because boy, did we have to hear about how great that movie was for America...

It completely misstated Ben's point in the title.

That's not true. Sure it lacked nuance and context, but it's still accurate. "Completely misstated" is definitely a complete misstatement.

He complains about black people being excited for black panther. Lol you're desperately grasping at straws now man. You're turning this into a much bigger deal than it need to be. Don't let your ego turn this l into an L

- Ben is right that the media is exaggerating the importance of this movie. This is the NY Times article about the movie, hailing this a major milestone for black America:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/magazine/why-black-panther-is-a-defining-moment-for-black-america.html

This is an article from NYTimes MAGAZINE - which is a weekly insert about various cultural events in the Sunday edition of the NY Times. It's a fucking entertainment article about cultural issues and events. The article is penned by a black writer - who feels that Black Panther is one of the few movies that gives a positive representation of black African culture. Blade and Catwoman don't deal with African culture. SO what the fuck is the problem?

But aren't the media reporting people's reaction to it? Aside from that, can't "the media" themselves be individual writers, some of whom I'm quite positive are black, and they are excited about it hence them writing articles about it?

Why is it so hard for you to acknowledge he was being ridiculous and it was a stupid thing to complain about?

I follow his Twitter, it's pretty annoying most of the time.


Why do you still follow him? His success is contingent on people giving him attention.


Regardless of me not liking his stuff, many people do and his talking points are used. So it seems like it's important to be aware of it...? Maybe?


Dude, you don't need to have an opinion on everything. If you want to join in on the conversations, then yes, you should know what you're talking about. But you've admitted you don't like it most of the time. Why bother subject yourself to such... negative energy? So what if other people talk about him? Ignore it and move on. Holding on to things that irritate you, annoy you, and are generally unpleasant will take a toll on your life one way or another.


I think you're overthinking how much his stuff bothers me, or I made it sound like it bother me more than does. It's annoying, but not to any extreme extent.

Over-the-top is subjective. But it is misleading to say the media hasnt been all over this movie. Just do simple search with those sites you mentioned (i.e. Yahoo, CNN, etc.) and you will find dozens of articles and videos made within the last few days on this subject. Lol, there is even a CNN article ( https://tinyurl.com/y8qrpvgz ) about Black Panther that first bashes TRUMP, then compares the film with Obamas presidency. What other movie gets that kind of reaction before its even out?

Anyway, I really, really liked Blade. If Black Panther is even nearly as good as Blade (just the first one, of course), then Ill be happy when I see it.

The entire article is misleading. I don't know how much clearer I can be.

I have literally never seen the left-leaning users on this board go to such extreme lengths to defend sites rated like this:

Dx5xfLM

This is the same as Breitbart's rating. You guys bitch constantly about way, way more when even moderate sources are used to support right-leaning positions. The fact that you're making excuses here instead of just laughing at the TC like you would in a Breitbart topic is pretty pathetic.

Most people have moved on past your hangup about the source and instead are judging his actual comments. The ones you claim he was only being sarcastic and wasn't shitting on people excited for the movie but was only attacking the media, who was reporting on people being excited. Which somehow isn't a contradiction, but okay.

are you saying he isn't mocking them? he said it is incredibly stupid to be excited about it because he hates identity politics, and how he doesn't care if people are Jewish. In what way can this be construed as still him complaining about the media? He is directly saying that this doesn't matter, not just that it doesn't matter as much as the media is saying. Unless you think no one is excited for these reasons, then I don't understand how you can construe this as a misleading sentiment

what is cherry-picked about it? it is basically the full transcript of that 3 minute rant, minus the part about his daughter

Hey, dont kill my vibe. Im going to see it in a few hours (I hope) and it looks like its going to be awesome.

Anyway, when they yell, Wakanda, forever!, that is definitely very nationalistic. They even do a type of salute. That might offend the globalists and other non-patriotic types that are watching.

White people dont hype a predominantly white movie because damn near all movies are already made for them. Its the unfortunate default. Black people dont get movies about a black superhero with a predominantly black cast, black producer, etc. Its a rain drop in a goddamn desert.
