It was wrong for colonial powers to treat native African people as “less than” in the administraion of the justice system and so on. But anticolonialists have painted a black-and-white image of the legacy of colonial rule when the truth includes a lot of grey. There was a great deal of advancement of the economy and infrastructure that the British Empire left behind when it voluntarily surrendered rule of its African colonies, including my country of birth Kenya. That included a very nice railroad which I enjoyed riding on as a teenager. But due to their pride, native Kenyans were so loath to simply maintain that one, they insisted on building their own to replace it—and needlessly went billions into debt on the project.
Anyway, speaking of Kenya, it appears from what LHOD linked in the other thread that at least two prominent Kenyan writers did react much as I expected: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/global-opinions/wp/2018/02/26/black-panther-offers-a-regressive-neocolonial-vision-of-africa/?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-f%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.fe3429d2be8a
I highly recommend clicking through to the piece linked near the end, referring to the other Kenyan writer. That one is less negative, seeing many positive attributes of the film; but it also makes some very good points I hadn’t thought of—like, why is there so little African music in the film? Why no African premiere? I also literally laughed out loud when he said the grab bag approach of mixing and matching cultural references was like “African bingo”.
