Well there were a few Blacks. Hal Jordan, the original Green Lantern, passed his ring along to a Black. Sad day for comics. And Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, also passed the torch to a Black. Another sad day. I think Tony was going through some alcoholism issues at the time. I seem to remember the Blacks having someone in the Legion of Doom as well. I could be wrong though.
I would love to say I'm not racist and mean it, but I'd be lying. Now, I'm not a card carrying KKK member or anything, and I believe in giving someone the opportunity to show me what kind of person they are without me having any predisposed opinions on them based on skin color or nationality. Growing up, my grandparents were very racist. They are from the deep south and where they grew up that was standard. I hated it, and argued with my grandma all the time about how she was wrong and all people are equal.
Then I grew up and worked in the real world. If you deal with the general public or watch the news, you start to see a trend. It makes you racist. When the vast majority of crime you see ot hear about is commited by black people, you develope an opinion, sometimes subconsciencely. For example: You are walking down the sidewalk and come upon a group of 5 black males, wearing whatever the fuck they wear these days, and you think "gang". are they a gang? Maybe. If you were in the same situation and it was a group of 5 white guys your first impression will be diferent.
Do I think black people are bad? No, that would be stupid. I think the influences in the black community are terrible. They are led to believe the best way for them to "come up" is by crime. Sell drugs, pimping, robbery, whatever. Look at the rap industry, almost all the successful rappers claim to have been former criminals (some still are). This is where good parenting would step in and lead young people down the right path, but that doesn't seem common in the black community either. They continue on the downward spiral, while we keep building more prisons. I don't see a reasonable fix for the problem either.
There's just too much to fucking read in this post.
I think that detracts from the fun nature of this thread. I stopped reading at "and".

But during black history month, they said that the black man thought of the automobile, and the light bulb. Those guys are superheroes.
