Why even do this? Especially when Smith is awful at accents?
I suspect it’s because too many #ADOS are uncomfortable seeing THEMSELVES as slaves. The accent creates emotional distance.
It also takes them away from America & anchors them in a place where they *FEEL* powerful.

A person with a Haitian accent as a slave = Revolution
An American Black as a slave = weak victim
We really need to work through our collective trauma & internalized inferiority. It’s manifesting in a variety of ways.

Until we heal, we will always prefer other stories to our own. We will always be complicit in our own rejection & erasure.
So prepare to see more Wakanda movies & #ADOS stories where we otherize ourselves 🤷🏽♀️
