@Spoken i completely understand what you're saying, it doesn't go past me, but i just completely think its a phenomenon that's being spoken into existence. I have step brothers, black, who are 7 and 9 respectively, tons of black cousins their age, and they like Batman and Ironman. No qualms. No "representation". It's fucking belittling to think to we're all retarded children who need our white overlords to say "hey Tyrone, he looks just like you doesn't he?!?! MAYBE IF YOU EAT YOUR SPINACH YOU'LL BE BIG AND STRONG LIKE HIM TOO".
I know that's not how you mean it, but that's how it comes off. Pandering. Lowest common denominator. I know your heart is in the right place, and if you pay attention i never called you a leftist, i'm simply telling you that despite your intetions, what you're saying is coming off as leftist niggitry of the highest order and it makes my stomach churn.
as for the "ad hominem" stuff, it's the prem thread, i'm here to tell you to shut your fucking mouth and i'm right, you're wrong, no matter how much sense you make or how many names i misspell, you can suck my crooked brown cock if you don't like it, we can have a deep conversation while we 69 aggressively and i think we'll come out better for it.
The "Triggered" stuff is so lame. I get excited to have a real conversation about something, if your only definition of not being "Triggered" is to passive aggressively be on "best behavior" where we spell-check and grammerly.com our posts then have our stepmothers comb through it and let us know what parts made their blood pressure rise, then see the above paragraph thb tbf idk iykwim nahmsayin?
Like i said, i know you're coming at this from "Empathy" and "Right place in your heart", but its just so tirrreeeddd letting hollywood tell black people they need to feel empowered by their movie$$$
Fuck Redtails
@Clear Winner if we're pushing fictional characters on kids as role models, there's an issue and I would say that is THE issue in the black community is that this incessant need for "Role models" in the absence of competent parents is what produces the disaster of the American ethno-poverty cycle. I liked Batman, Luke Skywalker, etc. but above all my role model was my mother. A white woman. Possibly the whitest woman ever. Sorry, i'm not buying this. Raise your fucking kids right and teach them to be doctors and lawyers or maybe even balding angry manlet chefs, not fictional characters. I count rappers as fictional characters too
@Sebbe shut the fuck up, i don't even know if you said anything but you're such a snide little cunt who doesn't have any ounce of bollocks to just say what you want to say so you latch on others
