It, frankly speaking, is an African-American fantasy. Wakanda is the Africa of their hopes and dreams and fantasies, the one that they can never see because it was taken from them -- or they were taken from it by slavery.

For Africans, colonialism took that from us before we could even have that dream and slavery cut us off from them. Now we are separated by an ocean and by mutual ignorance, calling each other "akata" and whatnot.

Pan-Africanism is due for a 2.0 upgrade.
