This ignores the fact that the movie \'\'explicitly rejects\'\' such ideals, first by pointing out that villain Erik Killmonger was a direct result of such ideals (T\'Chaka abandoned him in Oakland for the sake of preserving Wakandan secrecy, leading him to grow up angry and resentful), then by [[spoiler: having T\'Challa tell T\'Chaka to his face that such ideals are wrong, and ending the film by establishing outreach centers in the west and going before the UN to present plans on sharing Wakanda\'s technology with the rest of the world.]][[note]]As the article points out there\'s also a significant {{Troll}} factor involved, with white nationalists hoping to \"definitely confuse, disorient, and discombobulate those on the far-left\" by supporting a film with a predominantly black cast and crew and which celebrates black cultures. So the sincerity of said fandom is highly questionable at best.[[/note]]
