I somewhat understand a majority black cast. The target demographic may be black, and people like to see people like themselves in movies.
On top of that, they may be trying to be accurate to historical or regional details.
But to have both cast and crew as almost entirely black? I don't see the utility in that other than to make a political statement.
While the director and screenwriter were black, the film's producers and editors were white, and the rest of the crew itself was made up of the usual assortment of Hollywood crew members, without regard to race. (I have several non-black friends who worked on the movie in the camera, prop, makeup, 2nd unit aka "stunt" unit, and VFX departments.)
If you're going to be racist, at least have the intelligence to look up the cast and crew and IMDB before you spout your Trumpian nonsense.
What I don't like is the personal attack. I got my information not from Fox News or something, but from mainstream media news sites going on and on about how progressive it was that their cast and crew was almost completely black(or at least that's how I remember it). I made the post I did because I wanted to push back against racism.
Again, thank you for the productive portion of your comment. I will learn from it.
Citations required. I read the mainstream media sources too, and I don't know of any that characterized the Black Panther crew as almost all black. The majority of the cast was black, simply because the majority of the characters of the underlying comic are black.
What's next? Are you going to complain if David Copperfield is played by an Indian guy?
Thank you for discussing this with me. It's easy to assume bad faith and ignore people, but your engagement taught me a lot.
