  • The international box office hit "Black Panther" is largely set in the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda. The African nation may be a fabrication, but it didn't come out of nowhere. Many of the movie's sets and costumes were inspired by actual people and places in the African continent. Abosede George, a history professor in Barnard College's Africana Studies department, spoke to InsideEdition.com about the real world origins of Wakanda. #InsideEdition

      Kemet means "black land" because the land of egypt was "dark green" which gave it the name "kemet" "black land" , soooo it has no connections to black people.

    I totally agree with the King thing. During the movie I just realized how wrong this system is. Granted if you have a good King it isn't to bad but it's so simple to have a bad one. Seeing all the corruption in Africa I don't think that the leaders should have to much power. That goes for the whole world.

      A lot of universities in the US set the standard for black or anyone that is not white or Asian lower in the name of diversity. Asian and white have to be really good and grades/score above average in order to get into that University. While a black person can get in even if they do worse than Asians/whites. This is race discrimination against both Asian and white.

      Only the Ethiopians were semi-successful against European colonization. Ethiopia and Japan were the only nations who had won a war against a European power. Japan had a much more radical modernization program, and even became a colonial power themselves. Ethiopia, sadly, was not far enough along, and was beaten in the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian War.
      As for the other African tribes, unfortunately many of them never even achieved the level of Roman society, much less the industrialized European nations.
