quote:

Black Panther costumes — whether the character’s full raiment or just his claws and mask — are on toy store shelves (and, of course, on Amazon) in anticipation of the film’s Feb. 16 release. At best, the character get-ups speak to the enthusiastic embrace of a black superhero. At worst, they could be perceived as an unwitting form of cultural appropriation, which has in recent years become a subject of freighted discourse.

What does that dual significance mean for children? And, perhaps more urgently, what does it mean for the parents who will buy the costumes for them?

So kids shouldn't be allowed to pick their own halloween costumes, but they should be allowed to pick their own gender?

Is this seriously the position progressives are taking?

Why not?



A white dude was “black panther” before the SJWs got ahold of it.

It makes sense if you don't think about it.

Normally I don't mind when leftist idiocy is brought up multiple times on this board.

But this one is so insidious and pernicious, that I think it does me actual bodily harm by raising my blood pressure.

Yes, I am triggered by this level of stupidity.

Sure why not my daughter was Doc Mcstuffins for halloween one year and she is white.

No one cared.


My nephew is a huge iron man fan and iron man is white and he is black. Again nobody cares.

No one has ever complained about African-American children dressing up like Superman, and no one should complain about white children wanting to dress like the Black Panther

It is a superhero costume, for God's sake.

The media is jizzing themselves so hard over the “black” superhero that they have completely taken the fun out of it.

It’s a damn superhero comic book movie stop trying to push it into your bullshite SJW world

And yes, I am triggered by this.
