It does. For African American people this movie means a lot more than a super-hero movie. Something about this movie resonated with almost the entire aa community in america and I'm pretty sure that the majority of them are not super hero fans.
any aa person I spoke with, either at work, online, friends, family... all said they either saw the movie or are going to see it.
I think we need to start comparing this movie with other important movies that appealed to black folks than with super heroes movies. Probably too early to tell how it would rank in history, but I'm pretty darn sure it will be very very high
