DC'S BLACK SUPERMAN MOVIE IS REPEATING A CLASSIC J.J. ABRAMS MISTAKE
Inverse ^

Posted on 05/13/2021 7:11:39 AM PDT by MNDude

But all we can do right now about this Black Superman movie is guess. We don’t know who the Black Superman will be. By keeping his “identity” unknown, as Abrams coyly did with Khan, we cannot yet have a healthy conversation about race and the still-dominant superhero media.

I would love to see a Black Clark Kent. By changing the skin of Clark, who for so long has been an avatar for humility, kindness, and truth-seeking as an idealistic reporter, our baked-in notions about what those attributes look like would be challenged. We might reconsider what it means to let the best of us represent the rest of us.

I love how they try to change people’s perceptions of blacks with movies. “Perceptions” aren’t the problem - black behavior is the problem. American black culture is rotten to the core and ruins anyone who subscribes to it, regardless of their race.

whomever the black dude is he should be a card carrying member of BLM with strong ties to several inner city drug gangs, and have served at least some time for a capitol crime like murder in order to make him an authentic person of color - a sex change operation would be good also, as would appearances with Ru Paul.

Louie Anderson...he is gay. So let’s make it legit. He’s fat, so no fat shaming. Now we just need to get an tranny in there...let’s make him pansexual too. Oh and a pedo as well.

I laugh when people say that you don't like Blacks because of the color of their skin. Ha, skin color hasn't a thing to do with it.

Oh I know...He’s a black dude superhero when he has his cape on. But flamboyantly gay.

When he’s not in his superman costume, he’s a she (that’s right...a tranny) that wears high heels and mini skirts with bright red lipstick that likes little children and reads to them at the library...looking for his/her next date.

The creators of Superman were Jewish (I believe). Where is the ‘Observant’ Superman?

I’d love to see an independent movie maker make a movie with a black actress play the role of Anne Frank and then watch the media scream foul.

There are dozens of black superheroes in the DC and Marvel universe - Black Panther, Storm, Blade, Nick Fury, Black Lightening, others. Instead of pandering by turning a white superhero black, try making a movie around one of the existing ones?

There will never be an open or honest discussion about race in America. That does not fit the plan. And, now with BeijingBiden in charge, there will never be a chance.

The fact they are changing the race automatically makes it “woke” bull$hi+. I will not watch even on streaming channels. There were plenty of female and black superhero’s in the comics. Build on their stories, stop with the woke BS. Superman was white live with it.

John Waters used to be confused and shake his head about the different casting choices in local or school productions of Hairspray and seemingly gave up conceding that it is even more anarchic to have things that don’t make sense in it.

Sgt. Nick Fury was a white guy in WWII.

Will the new black superman pistol-whip women like George Floyd did? Will he have grown up with no father figure, like way too many black men do?

When I look at modern society, I don’t consider “humility, kindness, and truth-seeking” as characteristics celebrated in URBAN black society.

They pretty much already did that with “Steel”, but probably everyone wants to forget about him after the Shaquille O’Neal movie.

Watch, this black Superman will get pulled over for “driving while black”, or some other woke bs.
