These are not the battles y’all should be fighting. I promise you If you wanna dismantle capitalism, which is a cause I 100% agree with, your not gonna do it through targeting a Beyoncé film

Just wanna say shoutout all black people from every corner of the globe

Can we ban Noname threads

My family is from Senegal. I was born and raised in America, but I visit Senegal often. I promise you the people on Twitter do not represent the average African.

If you’re anti-capitalist your thoughts on the internet don’t matter

Should’ve known this was gonna happen the minute she took Gypsy out of her name

speaking so superficially about the issue is exactly how you end up thinking we can’t get anywhere

the movie is a major product of the economic imperialism that exists in the western world, where third world ideas are taken, misconstrued to appease the western mind, and then sold for profit while little is done to uplift those that we exploit

Not honest at all but it definitely inspire more people to embrace their African roots

“Acknowledges Africa”

I swear being Black is the only race that comes with requisites

I meant that they were in agreement with your sentiment. I didn’t ask where you were from to invalidate what you said. I was just genuinely curious.

Love you fam🙏🏽

Gah damn , so Beyonce can't even celebrate the beauty of Africa?

It's not black americans but white people, Black Panther came from the mind of a white person and this movie only exist because of the Lion King and disney. At this point they're just using Africa to make more money and pressure people to watch all this s*** because it celebrate Africa and black people.

Oh ok The vast majority of Africans in real life also agree with my sentiment, my mother loved Black Panther lol

Why make it Disney who ripped off South African artists with lion king soundtrack?

Beyonce attended Tyler perry's, black owned, inauguration of the biggest studio lot in America (iirc), she could've invested in African movie companies (at least a partnership) too.
This was clearly for her woke fans to further deify her as a queen that channels her ancestors
It's not really for any other audience, which is fine and comprehensible.

i’m sure korean people would feel some way about japanese people commenting on their culture in an ignorant and appropriative manner considering they’re both asians who have a tied history

this was actually a major talking point regarding some controversy around some kpop artist early this week

noname is so annoying bro

So I guess critiquing something means shading in 2020

Yeah but is that what Beyonce is doing?

She’s a Black American trying to put a positive spin on a continent and culture that has such a terrible reputation.

Idk what the movie’s about but I’m assuming it’s like Lion King but with humans? As in takes place in an African country?

Idk but to me the intention def doesn’t seem like ignorance or appropriation. Like we’re really getting mad at Black Americans for using Black African aesthetics? This is where cancel culture has led us?

she has the right spirit, stop hating yall smh

!!!

No cuz she’s American
