Geek culture is confusing to me. The powers heroes are given are ridiculous. Superman is apparently invincible and capable of killing a God. Really?
White people need to stop worshipping themselves. Most cartoons I see are white or Asian people do so white or Asian shyt. I guess Latinos and Blacks don't have imaginations because they don't dream in their down time.
No black or brown child has ever dreamed of being a hero. It's dangerous I think, it's dangerous to show children images of people who look like them doing negative things, though it's more dangerous to not show a child images of people that look like them doing incredible things.
When a black child's favorite super hero is a white man that's odd and very far from the reality of the relationship between black and white men.
fukk anyone who hates on black kids for wanting to play sports, hustle, look fly, and be tough. That's all I'm allowed to be and that's the only image of myself I've ever seen. I do control the collective image of my people. I do not own a media outlet. I am not a blogger or vlogger. I'm not smart.
Clearly I have no influence, so how did these ideas and images get in my head?
