Agreed. I liked his work. RIP.

[Celerity]

I hear he was a nice guy. Always happy, had good things to say.

But this a political site and it will come to that. He was a Democrat, but I don’t recall him suffering from tds.

Proof that it’s possible to be civil and disagree with folks.

RIP

Agreed! Those were the good old days before everyone became Literally Hitler. :-)

So, the Associated Press,NBC, ABC, Reuters, Variety, People, etc. are all perpetrating a hoax?

Well it's definitely believeable they would because they have, many times. Russia, Russia, Russia comes to mind.

But this one time I think they're not.

RIP. He will always be the original Black Panther.

He passed away,ironically, on the anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson met with Branch Rickey to sign his Brooklyn Dodgers contract. Boseman played Jackie Robinson in 42. To mark the day, every player, coach, and manager in baseball wore 42.

Just rolled up on Tommy Sotomayer and saw the announcement

Prayers for his Mom

Cool. Honestly I wish it were.

[doorgunner69]

Never heard of him or the movies.

Was this a millennial thing?

”So, the Associated Press,NBC, ABC, Reuters, Variety, People, etc. are all perpetrating a hoax?”

Well, isn’t that pretty much all they do 24/7? However, in this case the story, surprisingly, is true.

He really was a good actor. He “made” the movies I’ve seen him in.

“Might want to check post 8 on this thread.“

I really try to separate rhe artist and the art.

[newzjunkey]

Can’t blame him for being blind. Blame those who can see and ignore.

[Erik Latranyi]

Boseman was a leftist actor. But nobody deserves death like this.

Black Panther movie was a great illustration about rejecting the pent-up hate inside black people.

[Laslo Fripp]

You should see “42”. It’s worth the time. ⚾️

[ml/nj]

This was virtually the only story on WINS 1010 Newsradio in NYC this morning.

I never even heard of the guy.

He was a very good actor. Sad to hear that he passed.

Here’s a great video of him talking about kids with cancer wanting to hang on to see the Black Panther movie
