Last week, I blasted the identity-politics-mongering cultural Left for driving a wedge between black Americans and white Americans coming together to participate in the cultural milestone that is “Black Panther” this weekend. I specifically castigated their fanatical, destructive politicization of the movie, and how it will only divide people during a time of unity. Their anti-social worldview became so toxic that The New York Times enlisted a professor to caution white Americans against having their children dress up as “Black Panther” for Halloween.
After having finally seen the movie, I am now more convinced of that position than ever. As I said, I’m not one for politicization when it comes to stories, because stories by their very nature require that ideology subordinate to the complexity of human emotions. But since politicization besets every movie these days, even ones about cartoon bunny rabbits ripping off allergy-afflicted farmers, then I guess I’ll take my turn at the roulette table. You heard from Michael Knowles; you heard from Ben Shapiro; God help me, here it goes . . .
