Ben Shapiro, conservative activist and editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire, dedicated a portion of his daily podcast to airing his grievances over fawning media coverage of the new Marvel superhero film Black Panther, mocking African Americans who are excited about the films majority black casting.

In an episode of The Ben Shapiro Show uploaded yesterday, Shapiro dedicated a segment to expressing his frustration that entertainment media has focused on the release of Black Panther, which is the first world-release superhero movie to feature a majority black cast and be directed by an African American. Shapiro expressed disdain for the media attention surrounding the cultural significance of the movies release.

Everyone in the media is talking about the most important thing that has ever happened in the history of humanity, or at least since Caitlyn Jenner became a womana transgender womanand that, of course, is the release of Black Panther. It is so deeply important, Shapiro said, mockingly.

Weve heard its deeply important to millions of black Americans, who after all were not liberated from slavery 200 years ago and liberated by the civil rights movement with federal legislation, have not been gradually restored to what always should have been full civil rights in the United States. None of that has mattered up till they made a Marvel movie about a superhero who is black in a country filled with black people. Blade was not enough. Catwoman with Halle Berry, no. OK, Wakanda is where it is, Shapiro said.

He continued sarcastically, This is the most important moment in black American history, not Martin Luther King, not Frederick Douglass, not the Civil War, not the end of Jim Crow, none of that, not Brown vs. Boardthe most important thing is that Chadwick Boseman puts claws on his hands and a mask on his face and runs around jumping off cars in CGI fashiondeeply, deeply important. Black children everywhere will now believe that they too can be superheroes who jump off cars in fictional countries.

Shapiro said that he loathed the media coverage surrounding Black Panther because he disliked identity politics and had never complained as an Orthodox Jewish kid that no presidents have been Orthodox Jews. He went on to compare the release of Black Panther to the election of President Barack Obama

2018 - 1864 = 154

154 =/= 200

Nope. Sorry, Ben. Your math's a bit off.

I watched part of that yesterday and thought about sharing it, but it was just so irritating I held off. Why is that dude always so fired up about the stupid s***? That's not a normal reaction just because some black kids are excited about a movie.

It confuses me that people think this man is some sort of intellectual. Maybe he is lauded for his political debates or something, but youd think he would be smart enough then to not talk about shit he clearly doesnt understand and yet still has a personal gripe with.

I follow his Twitter, it's pretty annoying most of the time. He just likes to complain a lot. Mainly in order to show the "counter narrative". Which is why I don't really take him too seriously. Part of his brand is being the counter narrative, so it's always going to be done shit with him complaining about "mainstream media"

He's one of those who will see a random no name person say some stupid extreme left leaning thing, retweet it,, and make it seem as if that's the whole left.

He is an intellectual. He's actually got an amazing mind and could have been anything in the world. Which makes it all the more disappointing that he became an obnoxious right wing provocateur. He's an annoying little twerp and jumped on the right wing gravy train and has completely sold out to sensationalism. Everything he complains about getting secretly loves because whining about non problems makes him more money than doing something worthwhile with his intelligence.

Those movies don't count as they both had a mostly white cast and white creative team. The "original" Black Panther was Meteor Man, in that it had a nearly all black cast including a black director and writer. Good comedy too, especially the scene where Meteor Man learns Kung Fu from touching a biography of Bruce Lee.

Because I have better things to do than hold TC's hand because he gets duped by dumbshit clickbait repeatedly.

If you or him want to post the video, I'll check it out. But his laziness doesn't create a homework assignment for me.

We don't need rightwingwatch to tell us that his complaints were pathetic. He even made the childish "Black Panther was created by two Jews!!" comment. Low, even for him.

I don't see how doing that would be any different than the link you posted anyways... And you aren't going TCs homework for him, you're making a point by using actual facts. I mean it's pretty clear to me that if your aim is to prove TC wrong then going to the source and actually finding out if his posts are inaccurate would be the best way to do so. If you don't care enough to do that, then why post at all?

Because TC deserves to be called out for posting stuff from a dumbshit site like that.

You libs would have a much different tone if someone posted an article from Breitbart, so stop being hypocrites and defending TC here just because it aligns with your political narrative.

Sure he does. But you didn't just call out his choice of website, you also called out the validity of his claims. See the difference is when you guys post something from Breitbart I delight in posting an actual valid source that disproves what was posted. Pointing out that Breitbart is a stupid place to get your news is cool, proving it is way better though. Same with this topic. I'm not defending TC, he's obviously in the wrong. But that doesn't make you right.
