Minorities in Comics and Other Media, etc

[MindofShadow]

Y'know, now that the X-men have gone back to being weird sci-fi again, I really like them. No more tone deaf analogies, just freaks building a freak nation. I can dig it. John Hickman is so good at this.

Hickman is incredibly at building and making charts

Hopefully the story, characterization (which is already off for a lot of people but not sure if that is intentional), and ending work.

We have had women BUTCHER their kids and go to jail. They serve their time and come right back out.

Has there ever been a case of a woman being killed in prison?


.

Pedos, cops, kid killers, ect get pretty much isolated in prison these days. Violence against them is incredibly low.

It just makes people feel better to think there will be some justice on the "inside"

she might get punched once and thats it.

Only people that die in prison are peopel with too much information (coughepsteincough)

I find it ironic that the X-Men are basically being written as the Inhumans now and are doing everything that people thought made the Inhumans look unsympathetic.

I don't know if the tonedeafness is completely gone so much as just being presented in a different way.

So one of the main witnesses against Ms. Amber was shot and killed

X fans are nuts. That is the answer lol.

This is worse than Inhumans. Inhumans do their weird freaky **** in their weird freaky nation and leave everyone else alone.

Charles is running a drug empire out of Krokao and saying, "we are better than all of you" while harboring maniacs.

I'd make a Walter White joke but I'm not sure if running a drug empire really ranks that high on the questionable stuff Xavier has done.

DopeSpill's videos have been helpful, but I can't wait for the trade of HoX and PoX to come out in December. I really want to dive into this myself.

It's the same for me. I followed Hickman's New Avengers run very closely (for Black Panther), and I'm interested to see what he's doing with the X-Men, but I want to read it all at once instead of month to month.

Agreed 100%.

The whole minority analogue thing has been badly mishandled IMO.

Hickman has basically re-tooled the X-universe from the ground up and for the first time since Morrison, I'm actually interested in the X-men.

Lol, we are so past "respecting all beliefs equally." Know why? Because people take advantage. Give them an inch and they'll take your life. Anti vaxxers believe stupid things. So do flat earthers, climate change deniers, and racial separatists. All four of these cancers have strong religious beliefs and we must respect that! Lol, jk, no we don't. Strong people might shield themselves with the lord, but weak people always hide behind him.

You speak my mind better than I do.

The whole thing about "black people can and must be better" when we all know the history and injustice in this country against said people is absolute nonsense.

The kid hugging his own brother's killer is getting the flack he deserves. If i were his family, i'd verbally tear him him a new one.

I think this comment from an article about the Guyger trial points out how forgiveness often means something different when it comes to white people:

"And yet if you asked white people to forgive the 9/11 hijackers, you'd get a much different response. I use that analogy as a litmus test."

"progressive" NBA kissing China's feet after a damn tweet is disgusting as hell.

China is literally a super villain country but the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ always wins.

To be fair, there's lots of cases of religious white people forgiving people who have hurt or killed a loved one.

Context is the operative word here. Considering history of white racism in this world it's not the same thing.

I could see it if he were forgiving her because he didn't want to be consumed by hate, but it really seemed like he forgave her for her sake. She's not even sorry she did it, she's sorry she got caught.

Dallas police officer Amber GuygerÂ’s conviction for the murder of her neighbor Botham Jean was in part made possible by video provided by an eyewitness who filmed the shocking event on her cell phone. But the lone witness, known only as Bunny came under attack along with a great deal of scrutiny which resulted with her being fired from her job at a pharmaceutical company.

According to her, people began contacting the pharmaceutical company where she worked claiming that she was a radical, anti-police and a Black extremist. As a result, she claims the company did not want the publicity and fired her as well as revoking the credentials of her profession.

One witness is dead and the other is without a job and harassed by law enforcement.

Don't ever get it twisted, the law enforcement system has a space for retaliatory pressure against unfortunate witnesses involving their officers too. Per her witness testimony, this poor woman was 'visited' daily by Texas Rangers in the hopes she would likely 'misremember' the details of what she saw or at least hope she was weak enough to be intimidated. She's got to be on pins for the rest of her life for as long as she lives in Dallas. If for nothing else in the hope that she doesn't run into the bailiff that was stroking Guyger's hair, or that unprofessional fucking judge who saw fit to console a woman just got convicted of murdering a man sitting on his couch.

I mean what do you even do, same thing happened to the man who filmed Eric Garner's murder.

Someone will have to pay for this, Orta thought, looking at his phone, not realizing that someone would be him, not knowing that the cops would exact their revenge through a campaign of targeted harassment, that within a year heÂ’d be in prison and facing constant abuse, his enduring punishment for daring to hold the police accountable.
