Unfortunately “Black Panther” proves how wrong Dr. King was about an all-race-unified society. Not happening. Black Panther, according to TIME is a black movie…period
BP is a fictional answer to whites’ real-world success. Black individuals have been found to report the highest levels of self-esteem of any racial group in the United States which flies in the the face of the evidence. Research also examined whether Black individuals also report higher levels of narcissism than White individuals. Study 1 (N = 367) found that Black individuals reported higher levels of narcissism than White individuals even when controlling for gender, self-esteem level, and socially desirable response tendencies. Study 2 (N = 967) and Study 3 (N = 315) found similar results such that Black individuals reported higher levels of narcissism than White individuals on the narcissism measures that captured less pathological facets of this construct. Study 3 also included indicators of psychological adjustment and found that the pathological aspects of narcissism were more strongly associated with maladjustment for Black individuals than for White individuals. The implications of these results for understanding the Black self-esteem advantage are discussed.
Perhaps the dream is destined to remain just that. Pity.
