Let's be frank.

The same folk (see: the woker-than-thou industrial complex) going nuts about the movie giving it all kinds of free advertising and throwing their money at Hollywood in response are the same people complaining just a year or two ago that Hollywood discriminates against black people and/or doesn't satisfactorily depict black people in entertainment.

If you have an issue with the system, you just don't empty your pockets for them the second they throw you a bone. Never mind the fact that there are plenty of independent black screenwriters, filmmakers, and actors that would love to have some exposure and support. But alas, the woker-than-thou industrial complex cares not for black people or homegrown black arts, only virtue signaling.

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...

Which was awful, because Chris Kyle was human garbage

The irony of Admiral of all people complaining about biased sources


This is the third time this week you've shown off that you don't know what irony means.

He says as he has posted year old stories that popped up on his Campus Reform feed.

Another A+ contribution from you. Well done. At least a nice change of pace from crying racism.

You spent half of this topic whining about a source, broseph. You quite literally have no ground to stand on here.


That makes no logical sense, but neither do any of your contributions I've ever seen. Another A+ post for you.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy was three huge blockbuster movies with not one person of color anywhere on the screen. Middle Earth had no Asians, Black, Latinos, etc.

One superhero movie of an African Prince in a fictional African country in a setting and plot where unlike LoTR the character's race is kinda essential to the setting and you have people bitching.

Seriously people wouldn't shut up about Iron Fist (Even though his original character is white) and Ghost in the Shell (Even though she was cyborg so she could theoretically be anything)

Honestly the amount of crying and bitching about Black Panther is so tiresome. I really don't know why people are so triggered by this movie

Ben Shapiro is not racist .

But its weird like the same thing happened with Wonder Woman where people pretended that there wasnt ever a movie with a strong female lead. Same shit is happening now with Black Panther...

The movie will be underrated by racist and overrated by racist. It is what it is

How are people who are happy with the film racists?


Thats not at all what im saying. Im saying theres going to be people who overpraise the fuck out of because theyre racist. Same shit happened to wonder woman.

The movie is going to be phenomenal

race in lotr is actually pretty central to the story as well, though I suppose since it is set in a fantasy world that doesn't matter as much as BP which is set in the real world (ish)

Same shit with wonder woman it was praised by some women just for being a movie with a female lead.

Please, bruh. This is a comic book movie, not the Civil Rights Act of 1965. This will be forgotten about in two weeks, and it won't have changed anything.

FWIW, these same kinds of stories were written about Empire when it was a hit. This will be just as insignificant in the long run.

Quite the leap there, especially because WW was praised for actually being a good movie. But hey, Ill try to stop letting facts get in the way of your outrage about people liking a movie for reasons that arent acceptable to you.

Its not really quite the leap. We had people talking how its about time there was a female super hero movie (there were several and even a WW before) how its about time we had a strong female character as the main character (theres dozens). I actually cant wait for the movie as i love his character. If You dont think some people will like this movie and overrate it just because its a black movie then fine thats your opinion...but past experiences and situations show it will be. Just like people will hate it because its a movie about a black hero. So ya, youu dont have facts. You have emotion and a taylor swift cd.

ThiS. wonder woman was great but people were def over praising it for the simple fact it was a woman as the lead and we're in a "SJW" (or w.e u wanna call it era".

Black Panther had a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score until a single critic gave it a lukewarm review and broke the streak (didn't even say it was bad, just not great). He was mercilessly harassed after that:

http://www.businessinsider.com/black-panther-gets-first-bad-review-people-are-not-happy-2018-2

This article even justifies the harassment:

Some people on Twitter criticized the critic for missing the point of the movie, which marks a significant moment in Hollywood and culture. They also questioned Power's taste.


So yeah, Ben is right. The fact that he's annoying or that liberals don't like his message is irrelevant.

He knows how to debate; he is a master at it. However most of the time he is full shit and just presents his shit better then next guy. Like the time he went ranting about Oprah using the term personal truth. In place of attacking the real meaning the term he attacked the literally meaning of the term so he could something to bitch about.
