Worlds Coolest Vegetarian...aka M'baku
It came out today here in UK. Couldn't go to see it at midnight. I wanted to watch it via BGOL Movies but thought why not?
Well well well.....as African, I'd say that I've never seen anything like it. Its the best ever film I've seen. I won't spoil it but I'd give it 10/10
I only wish it was longer and I'm sure BP 2 is in the works
And for Wakanda? well, I wish to tell you that it exists in real world and I've been there several times and will be going there next month. That country is DRCongo!
After watching this film one is bound to ask so many questions; socially, politically and economically On economic front, one has to ask how do we politically empower African (some identify themselves as blacks) communities?
On matters of democracy, meritocracy or is the solution routed deeper in African history and culture (such as Wakanda)? How do we reverse the socio-economic inequality facing African people in the 21st Century? How do we support youth enterprise projects despite obstacles-to term finance and commercial markets closed to new businesses started by African or people of or African origin? In East Africa, the entire region is being held hostage by the European Union which is forcing the East African regional block to sign Free trade Agreement which will give access to EU products to East Africa while restricting East African products into EU markets....
In regards to culture, Philosophy and Ideology, anyone with African heart and African mind cant watch Black Panther without asking himself as to what are the core foundations of all African culture? how do we re-connect African or black people with their own culture after centuries of cultural disinheritance and western influence and interference? As a matter of fact, should we? Now in Africa, we have everything that the west has via cable (yes DSTV/M-NET has all the junk from the west).
I hope this film will influence us to discuss, challenge and debate the traditions, ethics, history, and merits of Africentric thought as it relates to African society. Furthermore, one would ask are there primary principles that authenticate and cement African ideology? Are there any redundant traditional philosophical belief (s) that remain rooted in stratagem defined as a response to the unfair trade practices, oppression of people of black people in the US as opposed to self determination?
Then there's the issue of leadership. From rebellion to independence, from physical enslavement to economic apartheid in both Africa and diaspora. Leadership from African context would be defined as any self-determining African who has deliberately worked to achieve progressive spiritual, social, political, economic, cultural for African/black. This was introduced under President Nyerere of Tanzania under the name Ujamaa ( Swahili for African Socialism). Though it failed its impact is there to see. Basically, this means the person has selflessly sacrificed their own economic , independence , stability and often liberty to achieve uncompromised change towards equality and justice for African/black people.
Their stories are often hidden, distorted or perverted by a Eurocentric media, I can't blame them because each has to look after his own and that's why I'm huge proponent of using enemies tactics to defeat them.
Black Panther as much as its a work of fiction, it seeks to reverse that historic injustice and
I strongly recommend anyone who can , to watch it.
Maybe something good might come out of this
In swahili we say, Msikose Uhondo huu....na asiye na mwana aelekee jiwe
