Same here I failed at derailing the thread pr, I failed you. 🙁
As for who Shuri is, she's T'Challa's sister and the next BP in line. As for the eye and hair colour...I don't think that's her hair.
Originally posted by willRulesI wouldn't say you disrupted the board morso as religion and prejudices CAN go hand in hand. But its a fools arguement. A believer and a non-believer will never see eye to eye. Anyway is Hudlin racist, I am pretty sure he wouldn't see it that way but I would say the situation is similar to those award shows like the Black awards, BET awards , or Soul Train awards. In trying to promote a a black character his writing tends to demean other nationalities to boost his own but considering the low number of cool african american heroes in marvel comics, who could half blame him.
I was gonna respond to this, but didn't for two reasons.....1) Apollo Knight and Sym Chaos answered it pretty much for me.
2) This is a comic forum and I've already been too disruptive in responding to these comments. I apologise to everyone for contributing to a discussion unrelated to the topic. If anyone wishes to continue this discussion, there are appropriate threads or they can PM me. I'm always happy to respond when I can.
But I feel the nationality should not matter. The character should be popular based on a personality that resonates with the reader, not their skin color.

Yes, it is. In fact how is it even possible? I thought you had to be in Wakandian line of succession from father to son to become the BlackPanther.

Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosI have something against the blind faith that religion inspires.So then you really have nothing against religion, just against blind faith?
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosI'm not going to debate you on the semantics of this point. The original meaning gets lost when scripture gets used as the flag for dehumanizing. The same is true of any written text.
Nothing about the text ever changes except interpretations. The same is true of any written text.
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosAnd yet people are generally far less willing to question religion, and religion doesn't achieve progress through self questioning, which was clearly the original point of what I stated.
People can question religion, I'm not sure where you got the idea that you can't.
Originally posted by Symmetric ChaosWhere did I say that I oppose religion and don't oppose science? I don't believe they're comparable, and am only making statements based on religion, so to accuse me of hypocrisy is entirely baseless.
You oppose religion because it can lead (and has led) to despicable acts. To not oppose science on the same grounds is a double standard at the very best.
