There is no genocide of white "South Africans." Stop the delusion. You parasites still control over 70% of the land and wealth in a country you colonized, plundered, and brutalized. You don’t get to cry ‘victim’ while sitting on stolen soil soaked with African blood.

The so-called “white genocide” is a coward’s myth—pushed by racists terrified of justice. What you fear isn’t violence. It’s accountability. You fear the day when the land is returned, when the wealth is reclaimed, and when your stolen legacy crumbles.

You’ve lived fat off the theft and suffering of Black people for centuries. Now that the oppressed demand equity, you cry wolf. Miss us with the fake tears.

Hey Black Panther fandom - remember right after BP came out when we were all like “Holy shit, we knew Africa was  sitting on a gold mine of art and culture that the West is not exposed to at all but now that we’ve seen it we really need to get access to more of that from regional artists!” I sure do. I still feel that way.

Well, a life time ago I did press at SDCC so I am still on some contact lists about stuff so I got this and yall, holy shit. Holy shit. Five Fingers For Marseilles is a South African Western that’s already made the rounds through some of the international circuits festival circuits  and it looks fuckballs amazing. Yeah. You heard me. A South African Western. Thank you God and all the little green martians. The Behind the Scenes Featurette gives this ridiculous  The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, No Country For Old Men and every John Wayne movie ever made but created by South Africans for South Africans filmed in what appears to be primarily in Xhosa and introducing some young actors who were all cast on location. It’s going to tackle colonial issues and personal struggle along with a bunch of other messy shit and you know, the good ol’ western gun fight because bless genre films, yall. Just bless. 

If the fandom is serious about supporting African art and film, this seems like is a pretty neat film check out to start with to start if you ask me. 

Synopsis: The residents of the colonial town of Marseilles are under the thumb of police oppression and only the young rebels known as the Five Fingers are willing to stand up to them. Their battle is just, until Tau kills two policemen and flees the scene. The remaining rebels disband while the banished Tau resorts to a life of crime.  Twenty years later, now known as feared outlaw The Lion of Marseilles, he is released from prison. He returns home, desiring only peace and to reconnect with those he left behind. The battle for South Africa’s freedom has been won, and former comrades-in-arms are in prominent positions as mayor, police chief, and pastor. But it quickly becomes clear to Tau that Marseilles is caught in the grip of a vicious new threat — and he must reconstitute the Five Fingers to fight frontier justice. Standing against former allies and new enemies, the re-formed Five Fingers saddle up and ride out, and put their lives at risk to save their beloved Marseilles.

As of this posting, the trailer only has 500ish likes. We’re MCU fandom. I bet we could change that.
