My Uncle is the real black nerd and I love him

Me: So I read an article that blew up talking about how the producer wanted the creator of the black panther to include more white people so he had Black Panther fight the KKK.

My Uncle: No. It was nothing like that. Comics back then always talked about issues that were happening at the time. The Black Panther learned about the KKK after he came to America and wasn’t going to stand for that. But the first issue had the black panther caught. He was hung from a cross and it was really controversial. The KKK liked seeing that cover but they hated the next more famous issue everyone knows where the Black Panther are kicking their asses. A lot of those comics were so great because they were grounded in actual controversies and events happening at the time. It had nothing to do with including white people. It had to do with combating the horrible racism going on.
