This is important!

Okay, guys. I’m from South Africa and as most of y’all know, Black Panther just came out. There are millions of underprivileged kids that have yet to see a movie theatre in their lives in this country. So, this morning I was on my way to work and I was listening to the radio in the car, one of the biggest radio stations in my country (94.7 Highveld Stereo- which I never listen to mainly because of the music) but they had started with a goal to send about a thousand underprivileged kids to go and watch Black Panther and it started of small.

But then then they got to R175 000 with additional lunch and snack donations and the Lottery came on and doubled the figure.

I don’t know why, but it struck a chord with me, as I’m sure with many other South Africans this morning. These kids, never having been to a movie theatre before, are going to see a BLACK superhero on-screen WITH South African actors. Say what you want about that movie, but it’s changing fucking lives and allowing children, CHILDREN OF COLOUR to dream again. And I say this with confidence because things didn’t magically bounce back after apartheid had ended.

It didn’t end there, though. The movie theatre that they had planned on taking the kids to promised to TRIPLE the amount of tickets they had bought.

Thank you, Marvel. POC kids are dreaming again in South Africa, kids with the same traditions as seen in the movie. It’s a small gesture and probably minuscule on a worldly scale but I’m proud, because I have never been, to be South African. Or African, for that matter.

They’re currently sending over 8500 underprivileged kids to cinemas.

Tony/Shuri rivalry? What rivalry? She snarked her brother’s big ceremonial moment with the announcement “this corset is really uncomfortable, can we wrap this up and go home?” Tony would adore her and I want there to be an entire movie of them wisecracking and derailing all their friends’ big climactic moments.
