Can't read the article, but I'm willing to bet the author doesn't say it's a real place.

You're going off one tweet from one person and you're attributing the silly idea to some meaningful fraction of black fans of the movie...you're just as stupid as the person who tweeted it.

Many tweets, many people here is Savannah. But this is an article and they do say this is what Africa would have looked like if not for colonialism which of course is hilarious and pathetic. In fact the writer is a professor and has been talking about Wakanda for 10 years, so........yeah.....

“Like many professors of African politics, I was most excited to be able to finally “visit” Wakanda, a country I knew well from the Black Panther comic and have mentioned at the start of every introductory class I have taught for more than a decade.”


Pathetic. Utterly pathetic.

Hate to tell them, but Africa's problems are tribal in nature. It wouldn't matter what the ethnic or racial makeup; tribalism is as backward as it gets, and nothing will develop and flourish in that kind of culture.

It's not believing it's anything more than a movie. It's hoping some day it is more than a movie. What is wrong with dreaming that some day a predominantly black nation could be so advanced that it didn't need outsiders to help them. I find it admirable. And saying that, I can't help but feel it somehow comes across as racist, but it certainly isn't meant in that light.

Weezer,

You keep moving up my scale of respectability. I'm going to have to actually start paying attention to what you say.

Dallas candidate under fire for giving his children incentives to marry white people - CNNPolitics

A candidate for county commission in Dallas lost a major endorsement after he revealed in an interview that he had established a trust for his children that proposed incentives for them to marry white people.

Vickers Cunningham, a Republican candidate for the county commission, had received an endorsement from The Dallas Morning News. But after telling the paper he wanted to reward his children for marrying straight white people, he found himself at the center of a controversy accusing him of being a racist.

Nothing like a little financial incentive to help your children find true love.

The silence from certain camps here is deafening.

Silly me. I never realized that the Racism River only ran in one direction.

It appears Starbucks has painted itself into a corner. The workers have concerns over the new "policy"...

But the resulting Third Party Policy is being called into question by both customers and employees alike, who wonder what impact it’ll have on stores, specifically in urban locations.

In a Starbucks subreddit, people are voicing concerns that the new policy will lead to stores being filled with homeless people and drug users. One user who claims they work at a Chicago Starbucks wrote that a homeless person using the bathroom got into a fight with a customer and police requested to see the store policy before taking action.

“This is exactly the kind of behavior that I fear will drive all the regular customers away, at least from urban locations. Opposing racism is nice and all, but it is not the responsibility of Starbucks to resolve all urban problems at one location let alone turn its stores into homeless drop-in centers,” another user wrote in response.

On another thread debating the new policy, a Starbucks customer expressed similar concerns. “I can't see how this will work in urban areas with large homeless/mentally ill populations... I just worry about how many employees will be put in danger (or get fired) until this happens,” the user wrote.

Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.

What's really bothering me is where am I supposed to go for a "Third Party Experience" on May 29th?

I might just stay in bed all day...

Too bad. That's what they get for caving to folks because of the color of their skin. We would have never heard about it if the people that didn't follow the rules had been white. F*** 'em.
