someone who was 1/8 blue would be aquamarine. And if they were green, they would die.

maroon is a term for escaped african slaves and comes from the spanish term for feral animals, but I'm pretty sure Bugs Bunny was using it as a self deprecating way of calling people morons.

Or when Yosemite Sam would rant about Bugs being a "cotton pickn' [grunt grunt]" though of course he is pretty consistently a very silly and very dumb villain so in a lot of ways it's not as much a problem as Bugs.

Is this a bit?

RE #18:

Oh, god no! Heroes is not my Zero Hour! I'm sorry I wasn't clear; it was to illustrate the near half-decade gap where there was so little representation. It's one reason Wally is important in much the same way as Skye since he's so critical to the franchise, he's this huge bellwether for diversity in Sci-Fi…

and what jerk transports glasses in a 4 cent paper envelope?

This feels like a combination of Heroes and the 4400. That COULD be a good thing, but having actually seen both shows, I know that is unlikely. At least no Sylar.

If these guys http://moviepilot.com/posts… are to be believed, He is definitely going to be Guardian.

Unless there was a reboot that aired between Heroes and SHIELD, then no, MANTIS doesn't fit the description in my post. If you're talking about early black superheros portrayed in live action, you actually do have a few options. If you stretch the definition of powered, the Black Ranger actually predates MANTIS by 2…

speaking of initialized, sexualized women who are sometimes hypercompetent, lets party like it's 1967!

I thought it was a bit of a reference to this too:

Didn't mean it as an attack on your teacher; I was genuinely curious especially when you said you learned about stuff that happened all over the country. I grew up in VA and looking back on it, we spent way more time on the greatness of our state and the failings of other states than on unsavory stuff that happened at…

Did you learn about the of history civil rights in Oregon? Stuff like
the Exclusion Laws is crazy. Did you ever learn about Stetson Kennedy?

I know the plural of anecdote is not data, but when I was going to college in Philly, it was 50/50 who had heard of Till and who hadn't. In contrast to your experience in another post- which I don't doubt for a second- I don't recall any Philly natives with whom I talked on this subject who were familiar. I've been…

SPN has clearly run out of ideas and all the regulars seem tired. This is definitely it. It's the Vampire Diaries and it's spinoffs you have to worry about.
