The Wounded Wrecker

Daily writing prompt
What villain actually had a good point?

Erik Killmonger had a point.

And that’s even without me reading CIA the riot act for keeping Wakanda secret from us in the first place. 😉

He’s the product of a wound that was never treated, a history that was never acknowledged, and a diaspora that was never protected.

Wakanda had the power to help people who looked like him, and it chose not to.

Killmonger’s worldview is built on a simple truth: If you have the ability to help people who are suffering, and you choose not to, you’re complicit.

That’s not villainy. That’s ethics.
