Finally saw black panther

[ACTIVATE SELF]

It was sadly only just a movie. But 90% of the population doesn't read or travel enough to formulate an educated perspective on the world. But they do watch television, go to the movies and listen to music. Three forms of media that have historically been used to condition the mind via social engineering. For instance, there is a reason it was once called tv "programing". In any case, showing strong and prominent African Americans on screen. In a positive light. Does have a physiological effect on young and impressionable minds. There is no doubt what Eng said is true. It is a Disney film after all. A company that is at the pinnacle of subversive and subliminal imagery and messaging. However, that is only one side of the coin. Because Black Panther (on a microcosmic level), much like the tenure of former President Obama, may not be perfect, may even have a hidden agenda, but the superficial symbology of what it represent for black and brown people the world over is a powerful thing. Art has long imitated life, but it seems over the last century or so, in many instances, the opposite has been true. Thus saying, the more movies we have like Black Panther the more the world's view of certain subgroups of people will start to change. Of course this argument is independent of economic and political inequalities. I'm just speaking on social perspectives in terms of media influence that can have a real effect on altering stereotypical points of view.
