"Lessons from T'Challa"

WARNING: "BLACK PANTHER" MOVIE SPOILERS!!  The "Black Panther" movie was nothing short of fantastic!!  It is being universally praised by film critics, and it's well on its way to a record breaking Presidents Day weekend at the box office.  I highly, highly recommend it.

The things I, personally, liked are as follows:

1.) The wise women warriors that T'Challa surrounded himself with, and the fact that this noble King of Wakanda was smart enough to take advice from these loyal ladies. The Liberal critics are saying the movie is a cultural breakthrough for black people but honestly, I think it was more of a breakthrough for WOMEN.  I don't ever recall a movie, superhero or otherwise, where so many WOMEN were portrayed so nobly!! (And forget DC's "Wonder Woman".....Marvel just gave us several Wonder Women!!)

2.) There was no sex in the movie, "only" three curse words (by my man Michael B. Jordan, who went to the same high school here in NJ that I did.) The movie's "violence" was what they call "comic book violence." And, there were no Homosexuals out of the dozens of men portrayed in the movie....only MANLY men.

Finally,

3.) In the movie, T'Challa emphatically stated that he didn't want refugees in Wakanda (his nation) because they would  ruin it.  Now, it's this LAST thing which is the real subject of my blog.

You see, T'Challa (the Black Panther) has a viewpoint about Wakanda very similar to what Donald Trump's view is about refugees and AMERICA.  But why is Trump hated by the Liberal media so much,  while these same Libs universally praise the movie wherein the hero makes EXACTLY the same point as Trump does?  Is it because T'Challa is fictional, that they allow him to stray from the Liberal mantra? Or is it because he's black, and Liberals (especially white Liberals) give black people liberties that they don't give whites?  You decide, but what I conclude is anyone who loves T'Challa and hates Trump for his opposition to refugees or illegals is a tad inconsistent, at best.  I'm not a big Trump supporter but give the guy a break, already!! Perhaps people will learn lessons from T'Challa that they won't learn from Trump. T'Challa's NOBILITY does tend to give him credibility, even though he's fictional.

At the end of the movie, T'Challa's thinking evolves to the point where he is willing to reach outside of Wakanda to help the world with his nation's wealth and highly advanced technology.  However, there's no indication he changed his stance on refugees coming IN,  as he addressed the United Nations.  It was merely about Wakanda reaching OUT.

Good for him.

I doubt if Donald Trump would ever get glowing reviews from Liberals for taking the exact same positions.
