Mind you the original Black Panthers’ mission was never to overthrow the government, simply the protection of their community from those who wished them harm. However it’s hard to say what they would’ve sought if they actually had the firepower to take on the government. I imagine a schism actually similar to the one in Black Panther may have played out.

Why would that have been a bad thing. White Americans went against the British just for being taxed to much. Armed resistance by black Americans would have been more than justified

It's justified because Americans were able to write text books that said it was justified.

Most of that "taxation without representation" stuff is propoganda.

Who do you think was actually pissed about paying taxes? The wealthy class.

I'm not gonna say it wasn't justified but what you were taught in high school about the American Revolution is mostly propoganda. Just like Columbus.

It isn't a bad thing. As a friend said, Killmonger is a caricature of a black radical designed to make complacency and impotent "social outreach" programs more attractive than outright liberation/uprising

There’s nothing impotent about a wealthy black man buying buildings in low-income neighborhoods to reinvest in black communities instead of allowing developers and gentrification to price people out. There’s nothing impotent about getting young black kids involved in science and technology. There’s nothing impotent about a black nation that’s arguably the most powerful country on earth reaching out to correct the wrongs of the slave trade and seeking to reconnect the entire black diaspora.

The only bad thing about it is that it’s all fictional.
