I'm not sure I agree with @toad_spotted here on whether there's been a big decline in African American cultural influence, but he's write that their huge cultural dominance in the '80s has been sort of memory-holed.https://twitter.com/toad_spotted/status/966078033521205249 …

But ST, who understands the mysteries of Social Science, didn’t even compare the 80s to those two earlier decades of TRULY high black cultural prominence, the 60s and 70s. (The 60s including, among other things, the spectacular popularity of Michael Jackson.)
-
You could go back further (jazz, etc.), but the '80s were unique, I think, in their sense of optimism and integration (at least until crack exploded in the later part of the decade).
-
If by integration you mean crossover, I don’t see how the 80s were unique compared to, as you say, jazz, rock and roll, soul, Motown etc.
-
I meant more broadly too: Colin Powell as the first black chairman of the joint chiefs, for example; Vanessa Williams as the first black Miss America; etc.
-
OK, but I remember hearing something about racial integration in earlier decades, too.

Funny how Asgard was diverse and Wakanda isn't.

Thankfully, Wakanda doesn't have social justice warriors. Indeed, Wakanda is so xenophobic that it makes Israel look like a beacon of tolerance and an open borders paradise in comparison.
