suggestion

when Black Panther comes out, we let everyone enjoy it regardless of their race, because while this is definitely a huge step forwards in POC representation, people who enjoy the character and who aren’t black deserve to be excited about this movie too !

Here’s a better suggestion: if Black fans call others out on their racism over this movie, don’t whine about not being allowed to enjoy it. If the only way nonblack fans can enjoy this movie is by being racist about it, then no, they DON’T deserve to enjoy it. Not without being dragged to hell, anyway.

Signed,

A nonblack fan who was just squeeing excitedly about this masterpiece with Black fans and does not appreciate the implication that they are mean, racially-motivated gatekeepers.
