Everything here is stupid, but especially the Pan-African nonsense. Just as its’ stupid to believe in Pan-Europeanism, its’ equally as stupid to believe in Pan-Africanism. For fucks sakes AFRICA is the most diverse continent on the planet, with numerous groups that aren’t even remotely related to each other otherthan having the same phenotype. To suggest that Africa’s numerous all have the same overarching culture is REALLY ignorant as that just blatantly ignores just how diverse the continent truly is.
I mean, Black Panther pretty much disproves how stupid this idea is in indirect way just by showing how the Wakandans view the rest of Africa, the same way they view Europeans, or Asians, or anyone else, with mild xenophobia but they’re not related to some group halfway across the continent, hell they saw their fellow Africans engaging in horrific shit themselves without the interference of Europeans, afterall, much of the African Slave Trade was aided by Africans capturing other Africans to be sold off to European traders just as it was in Europe before it was abolished leading up to the industrial revolution. Not to mention that Pan-Africanism is steeped in Black Supremacist bullshit just as Pan-Europeanism is also steeped in White Supremacist nonsense (though not completely for either of course) so it makes sense that Kilmonger would be a Black Supremacist who decides to inflict the same horrors upon the world as the world as done to Africans.
