I never said I had a problem with the movie for being black nationalist wish fulfillment. I'm pointing to the fact that one can't be of sound reasoning to hold progressive views and view The Black Panther's wish fulfillment as anything but problematic and maintain that you're opposed to ethno-nationalism.
If it's not a progressive value to oppose ethno-nationalism as a concept then all the the rhetoric and gas lighting when calling someone or their views "white nationalist" might as well go right out the window.
two questions
1. why not? why cant they do that?
2. is the moral agenda of a movie and not allowing black people to sit at the front of the bus really the moral equivalent?
1. Why can't who do what?
2. Irrelevant deflection. Try again.
1. why cant they work on one agenda while being hypocritical about it?
2. no its actually the core. if your plan is to show how white culture is under attack becasue of all the attention paid to black 'rights' one ABSOLUTELY has to ask if forcing blacks to use a separate bathroom is the same moral equivalent as being hypocritical about the moral agenda of a movie. you will never in a million years EVER move the left an inch without address it. so thus this entire conversation is a waste of your time without addressing it
1. You can, but not with any credibility to a reasonable individual.
2. This is like if were were discussing the morality of a "social democracy" and I used Joseph Stalin to make a retarded point. The first tell that you're going to start introducing pseudo logic like false equivalencies and continuum fallacies is that you start dividing my position into numbered "points". It's laughably cartoonish.
Edit: So you edited your point to at least try to provide an honest argument. The argument is not in regards to the morality of "ethno-nationalism", it's whether or not white people and black people should be held to the same moral standard in this regard because of historical context.
