  1. Can't stop watching "21 BRIDGES"

  2. You see how she's still torn up over it? When I see celebrities out there talking about their dead loved one and they have not one tear, I see that there was NO real love there. She loves this man deeply. What a tragedy.

  11. so, she is living off his inheritance.
    smart girl.

  12. Wow powerful tribute ..this made me tear up and inspired me to live my life with purpose .in loving memory of Chadwick Boseman

  13. Sorry not sorry, Chadwick would've wanted it to be the role the character T'Challa to live on he knew what the character T'Challa meant. T'Challla was created in 1966 during the Civil Rights Era by Jack Kirby to Stan Lee. T'Challa is the FIRST mainstream Leading Black/African superhero. T'Challa was created to be positive Black Representation he wasn't no side kick; he didn't speak in a stereotypical tone or have stereotype features. His widow even said, "It really was the most powerful piece of work that Chad was able to lay the FOUNDATION for." What do you do with a foundation? You build off it you, so by not recasting and killing TChalla you're killing a legacy and letting the foundation he created be wasted. The whole idea is if the rumor of T'Challa Jr or whatever they call the Child he has with Nakia come true that's an issue. And no, we don't want Killmonger back nor do we care about the mantle or who takes up the mantle we care about the character beneath the mantle. We care about T'Challa, we're also asking to not use Chadwick's real-world death as part of the plot we also don't need a film to teach us or show us how to grieve we see Black Death every day and many have become so desensitized to it. One reason we don't want a Jr. is because of racial stereotypes the fatherless Black Child trope is a no then you have the single independent strong Black Woman. Those things hurt Black people in the long run it only reinforces those stereotypes which is not our reality. Chadwick was fired for standing up against Stereotypes, so I doubt he'd be happy or fine with them adding in two. They should've recasted if they wanted to grief take time off reshuffle the film, they did it to make themselves feel better which might trigger someone else. Honestly that is selfish if that's the type of film you're cool with that's you I personally can't get down with that. We don't know what kind of person T'Challa would've been as a father as a King or Husband, he was reunited with his family after the blip for 5 years. All I'm saying is we were cheated out of a great film for them to put their trauma out there now they're killing a legacy.

  14. Rest in power, Mr. Boseman! Wakanda Forever!

  15. I'm glad that she was a part of Chad's life she is a very lucky woman to have had a superhero in her life. I hope she realizes that even though Chad is not with her physically his spirit is in her,and always will be Rip our king T'challa πŸ‘‘ πŸ™πŸ½β€

  20. I remember him as the first Reggie on the US daytime soap opera "All My Children". He said that he wasn't cooperative enough for the show. Actor Michael B. Jordan replaced him, but the stereotypes may have toned down a bit. Not sure if that's thanks to Chadwick, because Michael had a different look, or something else.

  21. I really wished I could've met Chadwick Boseman he was one of my favorite actors when my cousin texted me that Chadwick died I dropped my phone and said no and that really shocked me

  22. Chadwick Boseman for a great community and for Children's Hospital he's a great person and a great actor he deserves to be a comic book character to be as Black Panther even though he's no longer with us but his heart will always be remembered. long live the king πŸ‘‘
