All this internet chatter about a Black Panther sequel without T'Challa is folly. American society has been so galvanized in so called political correctness, it is almost expected that Coogler answer in the affirmative when questioned about an all female BP film. American society prides itself on showcasing victimization to such a point it borders on exploitation. Women are the current trend preceded by the gays and they in turn by the so called Blacks, a true trifecta. Ancillary affections have been applied to Hispanics and Asians. My statement are not to be misinterpreted as minimizing or ignoring the very real and destructive practices of mistreatment experienced by these groups just a criticism on how it is marketed.
The televised and streamed beatings, shootings and killing of Afrakan people is just the contemporary iteration of lynching. The abhorrent trafficking and rape of women is proof that the slave trade never went away. Lynching isn't just about murder and rape most certainly is not about sex. They are about instilling fear and hopelessness in the sufferers and desensitizing and encouraging the perpetrators of such. Afrakans shouldn't be striving to be equal to whites and women should not be striving to be equal to men as in both cases the latter is not the proper gauge and inherently distorts the attributes of the former.
This is why despite some very apparent foibles the Black Panther movie worked so well on so many levels. There was a good sense of synergy and balance between the characters and what they represented in Wakandan sans the usual, obligatory westernized/ American sensibilities that too often detract from the salient attributes of other cultures, particularly Afrakan culture. There is no real need to separate the Wakndan family, just make another, even better, film that builds on all the inherent qualities that define continental and diasporac Afrakans.
