1. A subtle message of the movie is that white colonialists are responsible for the misery of blacks worldwide, and without their interference, Africa would be super prosperous and powerful. Of course, slavery started in Africa long before white colonization, through the exploitation by Islamic nations. And as awful as colonization was, it was the European countries (and obviously the U.S.) that eventually ended slavery. For the record, there are still slaves in Africa TODAY, being held captive by their own people (there is a thriving slave trade in Libya, post-Gaddafi).
2. Anti-U.S. military. Killmonger is a product of the military, where we are told that he just went around killing a ton of people, using his training to take on T'Challah. Only if Killmonger had been raised in utopian Wakanda, he would have been a good virtuous man, more like Martin Luther King!
3. If there were no white people, and we just gave blacks more money, they would be super prosperous! At the end, T'Challah makes a donation to inner-city Oakland. Yeah, we have never tried that before (inner city school districts such as Newark has the highest spending per student). I'm sure just throwing money rather than fixing the culture, emphasizing education, stable 2-parent household, and getting rid of victim mentality, is the solution!
