Again, nothing that you wrote addresses the fact that Evans worked to defend a predatory lender that bankrupted and devastated thousands of black families across Georgia. The larger black political class in Atlanta and Georgia as a whole has a somewhat questionable record to be honest - weren’t many of these same…

Not at all, there are huge differences between the candidates, which is why this recent spate of attacks smell of desperation. Voters in Georgia have a choice, that choice should be based on what the candidates actually have done, and could ACTUALLY do while in office. Stacey Evans past work for a predatory lender is…

None of what you are saying above has anything to do with Evans working for a predatory lender, failing to discuss it, nor putting forth any effective legislation to solve the problems that still plague metro Atlanta and Georgia as a whole. None of what you’ve written above even touches on the fact that white…

This is an excellent point that more or less bolsters my complaint. In many modern 80's period shows and movies a more progressive view on LGBT life is presented, but race and racism is still ignored or downplayed. RPO could easily have thrown in a line about being a black woman in the OASIS and choosing AVATARS to…

That makes no sense. “Phone polls skew towards privilege”

I agree, like all too much science fiction the film has NO black women in speaking roles something I once critiqued Marvel & Star Wars films about. In an overall flawed entertainment system that’s unfortunately common

So Wakanda was wrong for not caring about anybody outside of their borders? What was their obligation?

You are completely wrong and conflating multiple elections and issues. Your claim is Democrats lack a message. My point is that a natiomal message isn’t necessary in midterms. Ther was no “War Fatigue” in 2006. It was only FIVE years after the terror attack. The lawsuits hadn’t been settled yet, let alone people being…

Presidential elections and mid-term elections are completely different animals. Like comparing the 7 game NBA finals to the Superbowl. Different strategies different environments longer game. How do you think Democrats have flipped 35 Republican seats across state houses over the last 18 months? Do you think the…

The Republicans held two hostages : CHIP and DACA. The Democrats got one of the hostages back (CHIP) and folks act like that was a political stunt? This is why often times the center left in America fails. Millions of kids got medical coverage that would never have happened without a shutdown - how is that failing?

LOL It was a real debate in my mind on which term to use, since at this point the Rebellion to the Resistance is like the Poor People’s Campaign to Occupy Wall-Street. A less effective pale re-imagining of the original.

Wait, how did you just give away the plot to the next Star Wars movie???

I actually wanted to use this picture for the column but we didn’t have the rights....

Let me use this opportunity to complain about the state of a genre that I clearly don’t like, then label a new show that I know nothing about and won’t watch as problematic, then when people point out I’m way off topic and offer suggestions for programs I MIGHT like accuse them of gender stereotyping me: - You…

I don’t know your gender and it wasn’t relevant to my response. You sound like somebody whose never seen a CW show or hasn’t read a comic since the 90's. The racial stereotypes you’re railing against haven’t been prevalent in years. This is not the tried, racist “Black guy with Amazing powers but only fights Street…

It’s weird, but to be fair, most of them are DC black characters.

I talked to one of the founders of Milestone comics last weekend and he said they were going for a full re-launch of the line this summer. Putting Static Shock on the air as a cartoon is one of the top priorities.

Okay you’re obviously trolling and just don’t like super hero shows. Gotcha.

It’s nothing like a 70's Blacksploitation show. If anything that’s more what Luke Cage alluded to. This is much more like a CW show, family drama, action and some science fiction mixed in. I found it more to be a mixture of Lincoln Heights (from Family Channel back in the day) and a Super Hero show. Mind you, I HATED…

So do you actually know anything about comics or are you just trolling under the guise of being progressive? Do you actually KNOW anything about Black Lightening or any of the CW shows in general ? Because hitting things and blowing them up, and fighting street gangs is pretty standard in any super hero show so maybe…
