Can black superheroes could be considered as Uncle Toms?

i mean the token of the groups always fights with the white, more powerful superheros against world threats and dont do anyhing for the black comunity. Sans 70's Blsck Lightning who went around cleaning up his neighborhood and DC's Muhommed-x who put Superman in his place when he came into Harlem, i dont see black superheros do anything for the black comunity.

Lets say if there was a comicbook version of Ferguson or Baltimore, where do you think ur fsvorite superheros overall would stand. A shame comics dont touch this issue when they say "leave it to the system" but what if the system fails?

Looking at 2 of the most well known Black superheroes in Like Cage and Black Panther I'd say no. Panther is the king of and African nation and always puts the good of his own above everything else and has no problem tossing the Avengers and there problems in the bushes if his people need him. Cage for most of his history has been a local hero working to make his neighborhood a better place and given that his origin involved him going to prison for a crime he didn't commit I doubt he would side with the cops on Ferguson.

My point being you would have to look at each character to determine if they are "c00ns" rather than labeling them all.

Youre right about those two, and i forgot about Power Man. But idk, i could see him when he was in the 70s siding with blacks, but today hes married to jessica jones, but i dont read his new comic books to have a assesment with his stance.
