Wakanda as a METAPHOR for Haiti

good article

Wakanda is an isolated kingdom. Though having valuable natural resources (in Wakanda’s case Vibramium) It’s referred to by outsiders as a third world country, and one of the poorest countries in the world. Sounds familiar?...

In Wakanda, white men don’t have a say. There’s a scene where a CIA operative (played by Martin Freeman) is bullied into silence by Wakanda’s women. Oh my goodness. Sounds like the time Haiti leader made it illegal for whites to own land in Haiti....

They can try. If local folk act up Just cut off all access and resources stall em out. See how long they make it .

Haiti is way to close to America for that to happen plus too many other countries out to "help" while serving their own interest. The shame is on the people also for having zero lasting unity. It's way too easy to bribe just about anybody.

No the article doesn't mean Haiti should.modek itself after a fictional place. It means the fictional place has similarities to Haitian past

I guess wrote that title wrong. But I don't see how y'all think Haiti would model itskef after a place that don't even exist

I think the comparison isn't great because the biggest deal for wakanda is that it was never colonised and therefore never affected by western culture..thats not the issue for haiti..

I understood that. I was speaking from my homeland's standpoint.
