Conservative activist and radio talk show host Ben Shapiro doesn’t think Black people should be excited about “Black Panther” because slaves were already emancipated, Barack Obama served as president for two terms and Halle Berry starred in “Catwoman.”
Saying the hype over “Black Panther” is “incredibly stupid” and an example of “identity politics,” Shapiro went on a long sarcastic rant on his Facebook live podcast:
“This is the most important moment in Black American history. Not Martin Luther King, not Frederick Douglass, not the Civil War, not the end of Jim Crow — none of that — not Brown v. Board, the most important thing is that Chadwick Boseman puts claws on his hands and a mask on his face and runs around jumping off cars in CGI fashion.”
