Saying you don't like Black Panther is not a poke at Black culture. Black culture is American culture at this point. Without black influence the United States is not the world's leading cultural exporter.

We're nowhere without blacks, gays, and Jews.


It's true. Think about it, at least within the context of the 20th century and beyond.

Can SJWs/virtue signalers be "try hard" and "grindy"? The image across the top of Zirin's Twitter page is of WNBA players kneeling, arm in arm.

Jesus. :lol: That is very try hard and grindy.


Such a phony. He's a "sports" editor.

Frankly all of the comic book movies are with the exception of the Dark Knight series imo. But those are much darker movies aimed more at non comic book people.

Comic book movies suck, IMO. I can see them being fine for someone who is a fan of the books, though.

Having to apologize for not liking Black Panther is onion-level shit.

If he really "liked" Tweets that had racial or homophobic slurs, fine, apologize for that.

But the Trump and Black Panther stuff is just off the charts. I don't understand how rational people - even those who hate Trump - don't see how terrible it is to try to make someone apologize for their political views.
