We're only lying to ourselves if we think we've made progress with racism. It's a shame, but such is life.
I still find that animated gif to be hilarious.
No, we certainly have made progress (only talking about in the USA here). But how much is very dependent upon where you're talking about specifically in the country.Quote:

Be it based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political beliefs or something else... haters gunna hate.
Now, add in aliens or something and we'd probably collectively come together as a species so we can just all hate them instead.
That's honestly about the only way I can see us getting past all the differences we assign to each other to dislike.
It isn`t a fair comparison, the black guy is dressed like the Trailer Park Boys.
And apparently the Black Guy's scenario was done in Hollywood while the other guy was in LA. Or something.Quote:

Back then it was forced, now black people do it freely all in the name of making money of of poverty, pestilence, disease, and violence. And in reality currently blacks commit more crimes against whites than whites commit against blacks it just just isn't reported by the media because as far as the media and far left is concerned blacks are all victims and nothing is truly their fault. Trayvon martin was portrayed by the leftist media as an innocent early teenage victim of the big and bad white Latino Zimmerman (BTW, I have no respect for Zimmerman). And this new case about the man who shot to death a black teenager for playing his music too loud (he was found guilty of attempted second-degree murder murder BTW.) and the first degree charge will be re-tried because of a hung jury.
BTW I bet none of you heard of the 4 black torturing and killing 3 whites a few days ago....

There are tons of good black characters in the Marvel universe, and there have been numerous matchups that have been called the Fantastic Four. This is just a lazy cop out to vie for a quick buck IMO.
So is Sue Richard going to be black too? Seing as how the invisible woman is his sister and all.Quote:

I agree 100% with that statement. Its all part of the leftist Hollywood progressive movement. Think about it, why didn't they make the lead actor (Reed Richards) a black guy? Because that's the liberal agenda. Be progressive but keep the black guy in his place. Believe it or not Samuel L Jackson's likeness was used by marvel in the Ultimate Marvel Universe version of Nick Fury. He just revised his role for the new movies.Quote:

BTW Old Man, the new Battlestar Galactica changed the old Boomer black character Herbert Jefferson Jr, to Asian Grace Park. That's probably the only exception though.

I'm more shocked that they're making another Fantastic Four movie.
Though they have a second chance to not totally fuck up Dr. Doom I guess...
I'm still sickened that they chose the guy from Charmed to play Doom.Quote:

Comics have nothing to do with Hollywood so why make Spider-man a bi-racial Mexican/Black gay character. Marvel decided on that and who knew that Marvel was very liberal because I didnt.
Maybe there's a milkman involved?Quote:

And here is a list of black FF characters that they could have used instead:
Luke Cage - Powerman
Ororo Munroe - Storm
T'Challa - Black Panther
Marvel has a ton of other popular black characters they could have shoehorned in as well if they had been desperate. Personally I would have liked to have seen Powerman.

I personally think Heroes for Hire could make for a GREAT summer action movie that breaks from the super hero norm. They could have a smaller story instead of these over-the-top the city/country/world/universe is in danger plots, make it a bit grittier than the standard PG-13 stuff and still include lots of humor. The buddy-cop-ish potential alone writes itself.
I'd really like to see Luke Cage and Iron Fist bashing heads for cash on the big screen.
