Why I gotta watch all these people who are not like me?

I remember when I first watched Black Panther, I thought it was a pretty good movie. But I thought about all the black kids that would watch it and be thrilled to see heroes on the screen who look like THEM. It’s just a whole different level I could never understand because white heroes have been the norm for generations.

And it’s not like they are going away. Just because culture is becoming more diverse doesn’t mean there’s no room for white people. They’re just not all over the place like they were before.

Apparently, that bothers certain white folks.
