BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. government is now asking Black Americans on federal forms, including the census, whether their ancestors were enslaved. The move has been described by some as a way to acknowledge and address the country’s history of slavery, while others have expressed concerns over how the information will be used.
But in a shocking twist, the government has decided to take things one step further and incorporate a new question into the census: “If you are African American, please indicate whether you personally have ever been to Wakanda.”
Sources say the question was added following the success of the hit movie Black Panther, which depicted a fictional African nation with advanced technology and a thriving society. The government apparently believes that if any Black Americans have been to this mythical land, they might have superpowers or other abilities that could be utilized to benefit the nation.
The move has generated a lot of buzz on social media, with many people jokingly commenting on their trips to Wakanda and the potential powers they gained there. Some have even started a hashtag, #WakandaCensus, to share their experiences and connect with others who have visited the fictional nation.
However, critics are concerned that the question is frivolous and could be seen as disrespectful to Black Americans. “It’s a ridiculous question, and it undermines the seriousness of the census,” said one commentator. “We should be focusing on gathering accurate data about the population, not asking silly questions about comic book movies.”
Only time will tell how the public will respond to this latest development, but one thing is certain – the U.S. government is certainly keeping things interesting in the world of federal forms.
