There are a few unsettling social triggers that I need to work through....
It's going to take more than a colorful speech by a King telling the assembly that we should all be one big happy family before I am convinced that Wakanda is really interested in becoming an active member of the global community.
-Wakanda was fully aware of the slave trade and yet they remained silent and detached and drove deeper into isolationism with no intention of intervening on behalf of human rights.
-Wakanda has a very extreme national stance on national borders and strives to protect against outside cultural influence because their kings have felt that it is bad for their nation. We need bridges NOT walls or holograms King T'Challa.
-Wakanada uses secret trade deals to boost their economy while their neighbors are suffering from crippling poverty.
-I am terribly disturbed by their employment of a secret police force. ANTIFA probably takes issue with the secret police in Wakanda.
-I am also bothered by his misogynist approach to his personal guard. His choice to surround himself with an all female security force is suspect at best. What does he think these women are, his personal harem of wives-in-training? His oppression of the Dora Milaji is beyond my level of comprehension.
…zero –diversity
sad
-Wakanda is overly conservative and places far too much emphasis on their isolationist global role and maintaining their national identity. Lord only knows how a free and democratic society could ever tolerate such jingoistic national pride.
-It’s hard to pin down anything that looks like a separation of church and state.
-Wakandas immigration policy would make Steve Bannon proud to be an associate.
-There are no democratic free elections – only a royal line of Kings that exercise complete power over the nation’s policy decisions.
…the King seems to be little more than a cis-gendered patriarchal autocrat.
King T’Challa, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for Wakanda and the African continent, if you seek liberalization, King T’Challa, open the gate.
King T’Challa, TEAR.DOWN.THIS.WALL!!
