Is this a joke? Can't tell.

To me, idealism is believing that it would take "standing up to the police" to get the kind of fuck you that United passenger received, or that a large crowd would have somehow prevented any arrests or shots fired. Anyone who has lived in the USA for the past few years must be aware that for too many there is no path…

Silly, if we meekly comply with fucked up orders be assured that the system will ensure that the bad laws and bad cops will be found and removed. If the system doesn't find them, then they don't exist! Everything is fine.

LOL! You're adorable. I want to feed you and pet you.

By jove, you finally got it! It took us so long to get here that I've lost the will to even imagine where further discussion with you in the English language would take us. Good luck in the future struggle.

It's a little crazy to me the way persons can promote that kind of blind obeisance after seeing that video and/or reading the Chicago Police statement on the incident.

"He found out to his dismay he does not have the right to refuse a lawful order from a policeman." - Thundercant

I guess you can't comprehend it. Let me simplify it for you: if the police are executing a legal but immoral order then yes, he does have the right to refuse to obey "the lawful order". It is not the law the endows us with those rights—the law springs from it.

It's weird but some folks envision, believe, and act according to ideas around rights and human dignity that exist beyond the "letter of the law" or whatever it is you're talking about. Would it have been illegal for the airport police to advise United to choose alternative recourse? Do they not have any discretion?…

But there are so many birds with wings who can't fly that doesn't prove anything! Etc

Have to say, "Captain America as a Nazi", if that's even an accurate summation of the new story line, is the first time I felt any interest in reading about the character. The whole Beacon a Hill, Truth Justice and the American Way (okay, Superman, but you get me), ideal embodied by a character called "Captain…

To be fair, I had a conversation with a friend who reads comics and he complains about this all the time. Says that Marvel has a lot of actual POC characters around but they keep on adopting this approach of creating a random one to take on a big mantle—and don't even bother doing the proper character development that…

Edit: I didn't mean to pile on you. This is more of a general rant.

How do you know any of this on whether those on "Twitter and Tumble" are comic book readers? Have you done some surveys or…?

They knew of all the racial issues going in and yet they doubled down on it by literally putting a Japanese woman's brain into a white woman's body? Why keep that detail then put cherries on that shit sundae at the end? Did we not just see Get Out? Didn't expect any reviewer here to pick up on those issues though.

I can't recall any of the 12 Years a Slave marketing that relied heavily on the white actors at all. (There would have been heavy backlash if it did.) "A lot of value" is so far from precise you might as well not try. Passengers BO was lame, last I heard. MI is all Tom Cruise has left. No one is going to see Guardians…

She maintains the same standard, more or less, through all four novels. Recommending books is always tricky territory, but Brit Bennett's The Mothers is also excellent in terms of the refreshing exploration of women's interiority.

"Who?"

Ah, sorry, skimmed over the asterisk bit. Why even bother with the paragraph before, then? I genuinely think it's an issue of unimaginative lazy racism that everyone has adjusted to. I wonder if others realise that's what the "mainstream audiences find white stars easier to relate to" comments boil down to. It's the…

No, more the, "Du uh, these girly covers make me uncomfortable/probably hint at poor content/make me not the target audience because I'm a duuude" stuff. Happens every time.
