Great movie but Regressive to Black rights.

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2018)

Last weekend I took in the much acclaimed movie Black Panther on a Saturday night here in Southern California. With the great reviews and a lover of Marvel Comic movies this was a no brainer. As expected the casting, cinematography, directing, set design and acting were all seemless and worked well with the story. In my estimation a solid B+.
BUT........ The Racist, stereotype depiction of the black race I could not get over.
To those of you who have not seen it let me prepare you.
In this movie an advanced secret black society in darkest Africa profits from the use of parts of a meteor that has fallen giving them power and technology (no mention of schools)...
Then the costumes... In this advanced Black society they wear loin cloths, carry and chuck spears, have large lip plates (colorful), wear brightly colored leisure suits, and adorn the walls of this magnificent city with LA style graffiti. Ironically, supreme power is attained by drinking from harvested "flowers" that give the recipient super human strength. Did I mention the hallucinations from the substance?
Pretty much covering many negative stereotypes we are trying to shed.
A "Song of the South" for a new generation. Do not take my word for it and see for yourself.
