Now I'm not saying it was with racist intent to make the decision to have the only 2 X-Men of color in the just released X-Men First class either die or turn evil(Although it is kind of suspect especially with the characters of Angel Salvadore who in the comics was a dark skinned sister who actually ended up at Professor X's school not a stripper as depicted in the movie)...I'm just sayin
And I'm not saying that the fact that fan boy geeks tend to freak the fuck out anytime a c list background character from the comics like Alica Masters in The Fantastic Four Film or Hemidall in Thor changed to a person of color (Kerry Washington)....I'm just sayin
I'm not saying it's racist that DC had the opportunity to choose any number of characters to wear the ring in the new Green lantern Movie and they chose the alpha white dude even though DC seemed to push the black Green lantern John Stewart in it's recent animated Justice League series. I'm just sayin
I'm not saying it's racist when they finally do make a big budget black Superhero movie (Hancock with Will Will not scare white people Smith)the title character, the first ever big budget black superhero is a irresponsible lush who has to be taught to be a responsible hero by the white dude (natch)..I'm just saying

You can find racism in everything if you look hard enough. I'm just saying...
wow what a profound comment. Yes u can find racism everywhere. How sad.
I really hope you were being sarcastic, if not you are an idiot.
Yes I was being sarcastic when I called your comments profound. I found them to be the musings of a 5th grader so in that sense yes that was sarcasm. Was I being sarcastic when I said its sad that racism is still so apparent in everyday life? Sadly no. Now as far as the name calling I'm always amazed when trolls take the time to read my blog then rather than debate an actual issue I bring up u resort to name calling.Its a typical tactic used by those who can't ..ya know debate the topic. U didn't dispute any of the points I made in my post. I made like 5. You didn't object to my findings. U simply said "If u look hard enough u can find racism anywhere" not sure how that advanced the conversation. It's just sort of a given cliche thing to say usually by people who have never been discriminated against before. I believe that falls more into the idiot category than anything I posted. But that kind of went over your head as well no? Sigh.
You can find racism only in places where it actually exists. That it can be found in everything is indicative of its pervasiveness, not flaws in Greg's powers of observation.
I'm just sayin'.
