There are plenty of black Trump supporters by the way.
I
seriously have no idea where you're getting your numbers from. I'd say that 8% is
NOT "plenty":

And before you start calling the BBC "fake news", please share your source. Fun fact: had you said
Hispanics, then I would have begrudgingly agreed.

What do you think Malcolm X would say about this movie? Do you think he would clap his hands and be a cheerleader for a social justice warrior driven comic book movie?
I'm curious how to came to the conclusion that this is somehow a '"social justice warrior driven comic book movie". Can you give an example?
Did you even see the movie? Whether Malcom X would have enjoyed it or not isn't important, IMHO. He wasn't keen on integration; MLK was. I would be more interested in what MLK would have thought, but even that isn't as important as how what it means to people seeing the film today.

It's all very sickening in the big scheme of things and revolutionaries know better than to blame current events. The seeds were planted a very long time ago.
This is something we can agree on. Institutionalized racism was planted in America long ago. It's just so disappointing that we still seemingly can't move beyond that, despite the progress that was made after our Civil Rights Movement.
What do you think Malcom X or MLK would have thought of the POTUS's comments after the Charlottesville 2017 rally murder and attacks on African Americans? Would that be a current event that could be blamed at helping sow the seeds of peace? When the POTUS
himself implies
moral equivalence between white supremacist marchers and those who protested against them, you
KNOW that institutionalized racism is still 100% an issue, for sure.
As an American, this is absolutely nothing to be proud of, IMHO. There is nothing more anti-American than this.
