The Black Panther movie has more black characters than whites, does that prove it's woke and racism towards whites? ?

The main characters are black, which means it's woke and racism with white people? I saw it on Twitter, so it must be true, right?

[rigmarole]

I've never seen it. I probably never will. I don't know if it's a woke movie or not. It's just not interesting enough to even care what it is. Having a Black lead character, or cast isn't what makes a movie woke. Plenty of movies can be interesting an entertaining with a unique story focused around Black characters. Woke movies, regardless of the characters race will always be bad.

Would you call it woke if someone created an animation about a black boy who died and was reincarnated in a fantasy world where all the characters are black?

[rigmarole]

Nope, not for that... That doesn't mean there couldn't be political messaging that is inserted into said movie that makes it woke though... Before the woke communist movement there were plenty of movies that had all or mostly black cast members or lead black characters. They didn't focus on pushing political propaganda. They just told a story with unique characters and left it at that. Everyone watched them and many people thought they were great movies. In fact if you go look at a top 100 movies of all time list you will probably find a lot of them on the list. In contrast you will never see a woke movie on a top 100 list unless it's on some communist site like rotten tomatoes where the audience complete disagrees with just about everything the movie critics write.

If you believe just about anything from twitter than you got some problems. Especially when it comes down to things like opinions. I for one would say No. there's no active hate toward white people. It just has more black people than white. And places like those exist so why would it be a bad thing even if it were woke

[Hanrej]

It's based on a black superhero who is also the king of a fictional African country.

No, it's not woke because it's got more black actors than white. That's actually just realistic given the premises of the movie. Woke is about forcing a diverse representation into a movie regardless of realism or changing the color of a classic character to fit todays political narrative.

I hate the woke movement and therefore I'm in ful support of black Panther being the movie it is.

Would it be woke to create a comic about a black boy who died and rose again in a fantasy world where humans are black?

[lightbulb27]

that itself no. I'd expect lots of black charcters in say... a movie about the Nigerian war.

if it's about how flawless and right black people are and wrong and bad white people are, the script starts going woke.

Would you call it woke if someone created an animation about a black boy who died and was reincarnated in a fantasy world where all the characters are black?

[lightbulb27]

i don't think so. that sounds like a new creative idea and reality in some areas like Africa.

[Miristheiss]

So did "Coming to America".

That was 1988.

A lot of people just became more idiotic and fragile in the last 30 plus years.

I don't agree that one particular movie proves this. What proves it is that it is consistently happening in lots of movies, media and other institutions. One time is a coincidence, many times is an organized effort.

If you go to see a movie called Black Panther you should expect to see mostly black people. If the actors were white, that might be considered racist

[strateguy632]

not that. instead the problem was making the bad guy white and the PANDERING.

[Asker]

I agree. Whites should always be heroes, especially in films with black characters. Creating white villains is woke.

[Jessico]

What's wrong with whites being villains?

[jshm2]

Wakenda is a Black state in Africa, in the movie. Where the fuck are you expecting White characters to come from in there?

[John_Doesnt]

No, because it's a movie about black people. If you're someone who cares about diversity then you're the one who is woke

[AngryCarl2]

If a movie has mostly white characters does that mean it's racist against blacks?

[Snakeyes7]

Based on that alone, no.

[Asker]

[Snakeyes7]

On that alone, no. If they start demonizing other races then yes.

[Asker]

It would only have black characters, how are they going to demonize other races if the only human characters will be black? The objective is exactly not to use light-skinned characters, as it is enough not to give them an important role, which is enough to call it woke.

[Asker]

One last question: what would it be to demonize? If someone creates white villains is it demonizing?

[Snakeyes7]

They would if at least the main character of the story came from real life places like the US and at present day where he would be a minority and he claimed that the majority race was oppressing him and others of his race.

[Asker]

I understood. So the problem is not creating white villains, but how they are created.

Ask Siri. She would know.
