Minorities in Comics and Other Media, etc

[Username taken]

This country is so lost.

It's become an "idiocracy".

You know things are bad when things as small as wearing a mask turns into a political firestorm.

Should've posted about this before now, but it honestly slipped my mind. If anyone here lives in or near Raleigh, NC a couple guys I know are having their first pop up event/mini-con today from 5 to 8. They'll have prizes and also comics for sale (including mine naturally, lol)

Talk about bad timing. Fighting a tooth ache (appointment with dentist tomorrow) otherwise I'd go (Garner, NC).

They'll be doing these pop ups for the foreseeable future, so you'll have other chances to check them out.

Cool, I'll keep a look out then. Basically just track this page?

Yep. My assumption is they'll be going to other surrounding cities as well. So I wouldn't be surprised to see them in Garner.

So by Texas logic:

Mask Wearing/Getting Vaccinated: "My Body, My Choice!"

Women Seeking an Abortion: "Get Stuffed and Bear that child!"

They aren't even consistent in their fanaticism.

The problem with this group is they only consider themselves. Face masks are oppression but something like police brutality is just cops doing their job

So I finally saw a movie in the Theaters: Black Widow.

I deliberately saw it when the theater wasn't that crowded (and the movie has been out for awhile besides). I'm not taking any more chances than I have to, even if I have been vaccinated.

The movie was fine but it occurs to me how fucked up this situation is for front facing service people having to check vaccine cards.

How many "I'm not showing you $#!÷" assholes do they have to deal with every day now?

They do not get paid enough for that nonsense.

Of course they are NOT.
We all know the REAL reason they want those kids born.... who is heading towards being the MINORITY in the USA??? Guess we gotta force women to have kids or invest in better birth control or go state border hopping.

Texas lawmakers and governor have completely gone haywire pandering to the extreme right.. Between the anti-abortion laws, voting rights restrictions and permit less gun carrying, it seems some people in that state are determined to throw it into chaos.

Food for thought

Bill Clinton beating Bush saw Texas voters come out to the tune of 72% That is the HIGHEST voter turnout EVER for Texas. 6 million votes
George Bush Junior 51% & 56%
Obama 60% & 59%
Trump 59.4%
Biden 67% 11 million voters

"Democrat Joe Biden overwhelmingly won the Latino vote in Texas' urban areas

Bush, Romney & Trump (twice) most votes for a Republican in Texas. Trump's margin of victory was 5% after being 8% in 2016.

Why are we getting oppressions bills???

2016 6 of the top 10 counties voted Democrat

2020 7 of the top 10 voted DEMOCRAT 11 out 20 counties The most since Lyndon B Johnson.

The Rural counties are what have saved Republicans.

Problem is companies from BLUE STATES are moving to Texas and some are targeting Collin County. Where Biden lost by 21K votes and the 6th most populated area here.

Yeah, that was one of my problems with these types of mandates (my state doesn't have them, but in general).

You are making it a requirement and then making the worst paid people at these places deal with it. It really doesn't seem fair.

All they're going to do is make more tweets and youtube videos. They were going to do it anyway. I liked Shang-Chi, it almost didn't feel like a marvel movie. There's another movie I am debating on seeing thursday, but Im not sure yet.
