Black Panther might have broken a lot of ground on the comic book movie genre when it premiered back in 2018, however, it seems like a certain bank decided to take Wakanda Forever a little bit too far during Black History Month.
One of the largest African-American owned banks in the United States, OneUnited Bank decided to celebrate Black History month by giving out limited-edition Harriet Tubman card to its bank members. While the gesture is all well and good, OneUnited decided to make the card a little bit modern by making Tubman pose in Black Panther's Wakandan Salute.
The image is really cringy, and netizens who've seen the card have been sharing their outrage on social media sites like Facebook on Twitter. Sure, having Tubman dressed in her headwrap while giving out the "Wakanda forever" pose might seem cheeky and modern, but it certainly doesn't seem fitting for a bank card.
Check out some of the reactions online:
To those who need a little brush up on their history, Tubman is a central figure in US history for her work escaping slavery and freeing 300 people using the underground railroad.
Sure, the idea of Harriet Tubman freeing slaves and taking them to Wakanda might seem a little bit funny, but that sort of concept belongs in memes. It doesn't really belong in places like debit cards.
What do you think of the card? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below.
