Black Panther comes roaring into theaters Thursday, and along with it comes merchandise and costumes for adults and children alike. Some parents are worried that allowing their children to wear the Black Panther masks or costumes could be considered cultural appropriation, or even black face. 'You want that white kid to be able to think that he can dress up in a Black Panther costume, because, to that kid, there's no difference between Captain America and Black Panther,' he explained. 'This Halloween, the first time I see a little kid, a white kid, dressed up as Black Panther, I'm taking a picture,' he said. Ultimately, the experts concluded to the Times that wearing the mask is not cultural appropriation, and it is not the same as wearing black face.
