Black women have been historically forced to assimilate though by being made to straighten their hair. Black people have been fired, kicked off sports teams, kicked out of schools, etc. for wearing their hair in natural ways, so the argument that black women straightening their hair is also appropriating doesn’t…

Sorry that happened to you.  That was a really jerk move by your neighbor.

Good luck getting many Americans to recognize their own state flags, much less the flag of a U.S. Territory.

Playing Starfield, as far as landing on a planet and scanning it for resources and bio signs, it reminded me of Mass Effect Andromeda as far as having to scan planets, but I think I like Starfield’s version a bit more with the exception of not having some mode of transportation. The fact that you have a jetpack also…

But this seems like it will be an alternate timeline Kirk, who if I had to take a guess, gets wiped away once the story fixes history.

Is there an Avengers at this point? Tony’s dead, Steve is old. Nat’s dead. Clint’s retired. No one knows who Spider-man is any more. I guess there’s Bruce & maybe his cousin. Ant-man maybe and Rhodey who is working for the government again (surprised Thunderbolt didn’t court martial him). Sam Wilson is around and…

Was this technically the first time?

I get what you’re saying, but this seems on brand for them and probably what most movie execs would do. Batman has been their most successful comic book property to date.

Thought he was joking.

So getting slapped is the same as getting murdered... got it.

Two things:

Chris Rock has always been an equal opportunity jester. He’s done plenty of jokes about everyone.

Michigan alum?

I thought a smirk could be considered a sneering smile.

Counterpoint, if your livelihood is based on convincing people you like them (e.g. you work on commission), if you’re any good, you’ll learn the same subset of skills.

I also thought, isn’t that just NBA Jam?

Fellow blerd, got into comics in the 80s w/ Spider-man and the Teen Titans. I appreciate this article, but wonder if you maybe should have started with the 60s or even earlier. I thought for the most part black heroes were side kicks (Falcon being Captain America’s) racist stereotypes. The first stand out moment for…
