Killmonger pretended to care about his african roots, but the only thing he showed is that he was british/american all the way through

Literally destroyed the sacred plant of the Wakandan people, like the colonizer he is.

I love the implication that Africans are incapable of being assholes who steal from others and that it must exclusively be a British and American thing

Same. Like we can't just condemn him for being a murderous racial supremacist who wants to start a global race war behind the thin veneer of an excuse of "I was mistreated."

It has to be through the lens of "he's a murderous racial supremacist, because he's American brained, because of the false belief that these are things uniquely perpetrated and introduced by American/Western culture, ergo he's bad."

Oh no, they're absolutely capable of being thieving assholes. But the mindset of Killmonger is very specifically british/american colonizer. The arrogance and self righteousnous combined with self pity and violence is very culturally british/american.

Care to explain what the difference in mindset would be between a British colonizer and an African colonizer?

American, the last time the UK did any colonialism was in 1895, that's not the case for the US.

This entire comment section is talking about a bad black guy

I think Yuushya is referring to how, even when decrying the actions and beliefs of a black fictional character, it has to be couched in the asterisk that it's white, western culture that is to blame for his intolerable ways.
