All the love
#blackpanther is getting, I wanna acknowledge this sista Dorothy Steel. The 91 year old Atlanta native had a minor role as a tribal elder in BP. This is proof that you are NEVER to old to pursue your dreams#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe

Mom used to keep brown paint in house bc all the nativity figurines she could find were white. As a black disabled woman, I still have yet to truly see myself on screen, but like my mom & the BW in my life, I’m going to take that into my own hands

To see a black film is one thing. But to see a black superhero on the big screen.. to see a black superhero pay homage to our ancestry and speak the truth to what this world needs, means the world to me...

Wakanda is congo without the Hollywood hero story. The vibranium is cobalt and the movie shows us what it could have been if the country would not have been exploited till present day, just like the majority of African countries.

The creator of the

hashtag deserves better at her job. Let’s amplify this incredible woman and find her a job that emboldens her. @ReignOfApril@MatthewACherryhttps://twitter.com/maria_giesela/status/968855704604938244 … -
Black Panther was EVERYTHING!!!. Black women especially, as leaders, hero’s, fighters, innovators and creators
. Imagine a world where our children only see these representations of black people, & how that would elevate their aspirations

I remember growing up and Black folks being ready to fight you when you called us African. Now, I’m so proud this new generation sees images of Pan-African beauty, brilliance, and bravery.

Since Black Americans were stripped of their heritage and most will never know the African nation they were taken from, I am just claiming Wakanda as my ancestral birthplace.

Yes, this is nice. But wouldn't it have better, nicer to have credited
@Maria_Giesela, the young woman whose hashtag#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe
was clearly the inspiration for this segment? WoC get little enough credit for their contributions, it's the least you could have done. https://twitter.com/fallontonight/status/969071212197396480 …

Seeing Chocolate sisters on screen in leading roles portraying women with heart,wisdom, & confidence speaks to our remarkable achievements. As a child of the 70s, films would show numerous Black people in marginalized or demeaning roles.

I googled my twitter name (i do this periodically ever since the Faith Hill/Faith Evans CNN fiasco) and I am up to 8 pages of articles with my tweets in them. Excluding all the

For the first time in over a year, my Facebook isn’t overflowing with toxicity. Logged in and saw nothing but pictures of proud ppl adorned in African attire, & discussing concepts that the film explored. No way you can downplay this films significance.

A world where black girls can see themselves in movies where they are not the prostitute, bystander, slave, princess, or damsel.

Why not share a few pictures of where I was a few weeks ago Oakland, California the home of Erik Kilmonger the place of birth of the original Black Panther Party. A beautiful city steeped in culture overcast w the stench of gentrification

Bc Im sure I’ll be tagged for the rest of y’all the day, yes I have seen
@FallonTonight segment where they clearly based the segment on the hashtag I created#WhatBlackPantherMeansToMe
. Also notice how they strategically did not use the phrase to avoid giving credit. pic.twitter.com/iSr4IfaKdUShow this thread -
Black Panther: A powerful reminder that colonialism did not lead to Africa's progress but that it rather halted our progress.
