The year’s biggest superhero film, Black Panther, comes on the heels of the January report that President Trump reportedly said that people from Haiti and African nations were living in “sh*thole countries.” The reported remarks are disgusting and almost laughable — how is Trump going to attempt to walk them back once Black History Month rolls around? But more seriously, how can Americans from Haiti and Africa, especially young girls and boys, ever hope to feel welcome in America again?
While Black Panther can’t solve every problem relating to Trump’s racism or solve the feelings of malaise in those affected by his comments, the new movie can serve as a reminder that the president's opinions about black countries are false. With its Africa-first focus, plus its mostly black cast, Black Panther will prove to audiences that everyone is capable of having a superhero inside of them, even folks from the reported places Trump wrongly feels add no value.
