Superman defends undocumented immigrants from stereotypical white supremacists in new comic
Screenrant ^ | Screenrant

Posted on 09/16/2017 12:33:49 PM PDT by Morpheus2009

Superman protects undocumented immigrants from armed white supremacists in a new issue from DC Comics. This incredibly-timely story hit stores on Wednesday, September 13, one week after President Trump announced the end of DACA: the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, which President Obama established in 2012. This immigration policy deferred deportation for some individuals who entered the USA illegally as minors and made them eligible for work permits.

The striking comic book moment, which depicts DC’s iconic Man of Steel standing between a group of immigrant workers and a flurry of machine gun bullets fired by a white man with an American flag bandana, appeared in Action Comics #987, “The Oz Effect”.

In that vein, he always felt more like those children from foreign countries adopted by parents in the United States.

If Superman has turned liberal, then someone needs to shove a chunk of kryptonite down the front of his briefs!

The monie in comic book characters the days is in movies and memorabillia.

The same people who say that comics are low class literature would be hard pressed to prove that movie audiences are more literate than comic book readers or that the plots of comic book sagas are more complex and nuanced than the original storylines they’ve adapted.

That said, these storylines sound like dreck and low grade partisan hackwork. Propaganda in a word.

The fact that a few people object to Superman saving innocent, unarmed people pretty much proves the point of the story, sad to say.

Tell that to Kathryn Steinle’s family, Dan. Typical clueless lib.
Superman was my hero when I was a kid. Now he’s just a tool wearing his underpants on the outside. Like Dan Jurgens.

Superman and Donald Trump argued and made an arm wrestling bet.
The loser had to wear his Jockey shorts over his trousers...

Krypton no longer exists, in the mythical timeline.

Kandor was a city on Krypton.

It's too bad Superman wasn't around to prevent Kathryn Steinle from being killed by an illegal alien,

or prevent an illegal alien from raping a 65 year old woman in Portland a couple of months ago,

or prevent another illegal alien from repeatedly raping a 7 year old child.

But it's nice to see that he is there to scold Americans for daring to ask that people from other countries follow the law in immigrating here. Even for an imaginary character, Superman isn't what he used to be - he's turned into Nancy Pelosi in a leotard.

A “stereotypical white supremacist”? Hmmmm,let's see...I'm white.But I'm not sure what a "supremacist" is.I suspect that part of being a supremacist is a refusal to apologize for being white.If that's the case then I'm at least partially there...because I sure as as hell ain't gonna *apologize*.

...just as surely as nobody should apologize for being black.

Kandor was a city on Krypton.

Yes, but last I heard (Bronze Age is as far as I go) Kandor was shrunk by Brainiac and was held hostage in a bottle which was recovered and placed in the arctic Fortress of Solitude. I'm not sure who has the good claim on the Fortress' location, but some political party would certainly want to make Kandor's 8,000,000 inhabitants citizens, especially if the Man of Steel gets thrown in the mix.

Let’s try this, a bunch of people no one has ever head of or seen before, that are depicted to be illegally in the US taking jobs that an under employed population could fill, are being protected by an alien that doesn’t exist, never existed, and was a source of children’s fictional stories, from a never existed portrayed nut with a gun that was only identified as a member of a group that is detestable to almost everyone, and this is supposed to mean something?

Pretty soon we will live in the Paradox of Fiction so they can be moved by what we know does not exist. Namely the situations of people in fictional stories? The so-called “paradox of emotional response to fiction” is an argument for the conclusion that our emotional response to fiction is irrational. Welcome to reality in a world of sick minds. And they vote so the libs use them like a bad prostitute.

Well, there you go.

BTW, if any other illegal alien were to take up “Truth, Justice, and the American Way”, then defend massive numbers of the public here in the U.S. to the extent this one has, I might consider a special dispensation.

Superman in his comic book existence is a special case.

Tens of millions of his fellow Krypton Citizens are not sapping our nation dry, and acting as a massive corrupting agent affecting all levels of our society.

I am glad I sold my comic collection long ago.
