“Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors…” Huh?!?


“Just bury me in the ocean with my ancestors who jumped from ships, 'cause they knew death was better than bondage.”

Uh. If they jumped from ships and died, how can they be Killmonger’s ancestors? 🤔

reply

I believe he was speaking in more general terms, they were his ancestors in a broader sense. But if you want a literal explanation, if they had children before they died, that's how.

reply

So they abandoned their kids? 🤔

reply

They didn't exactly leave voluntarily, do you know anything about the Atlantic slave trade?

reply

He was talking about slaves jumping off the ships voluntarily.

reply

They jumped off the ships rather than live a life of cruel enslavement. Their children were likely already separated from them on the ships.

reply

On the same ship? Then they abandoned them.

On different ships, how did the kids know their parents jumped voluntarily?

reply

Ok, I'm done here. Read up on the subject and try having some compassion.

reply

Or you could finally admit that Killmonger’s comment makes no sense.

More badly written dialogue in a badly written movie.
