Agents of Literary Change

Checking up on Dwayne McDuffie's site, I got an eye full of racist responses to his final Justice League of America issue (#34):
“…how many blacks did McDuffie manage to sneak onto the team this time–five? (I bet DC editorial gave him the same order as Burger King in that lawsuit–to “lighten things up around here.”)” “Why don’t they call this the “Minority League”? ”
“I don’t think anyone will support an original black “mainstream” character. I know I won’t.”
“Couldn’t they get Static, Black Lightning, or one of his daughters instead of Dr. Light on the cover of BET League of America? Ha!”
“Maybe they should establish a separate league for all the negro superheroes. I’m not saying kick them ALL off. One would be okay. (Doesn’t Hollywood have some kind of law that says every movie has to have at least one black in it?) I just think they’re going overboard with all this diversity stuff. I mean, how many comics do minorities read anyway?”
Sigh . . .

This is the same kind of crap that keeps my material from even being considered by the bigger companies. That's okay, someday I'll be laughing all the way to bank. (If I can stay out of the poor house.) lol

No one listens to hacks like this. And for someone who is so "intolerant" he (or she) sure knows a hell of a lot about black comic superheroes.

Dead on Penelope. Their ignorance attracts like ignorance, and keeps them wallowing in the quagmire. Incidentally, it also prevents them from moving ahead in life, literally. Hate and ignorance are energy sapping, and prevent forward motion. The path to wisdom is illuminated by the light of perspective. This type of ignorance prevents them from even acknowledging the light, let alone seeing the path. No walking for them.

Let's face it.....it's easy for some punk-a$$ to log on to a computer, and write some ish on a forum. They wouldn't have the balls to say this same crap to a person's face. That's why posts like these are rampant on the web. I call it "ITGS"; Internent Tough Guy/Girl Syndrome. They're cyber pu$$ies.

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…

You know what is sad in all this, the sentiment on this board is not about wanting to see justice, because frankly those on this board have shown they could care less about facts (not a single person here has seen the court documents of the case oth…

Because Sophia has made false claims! She said she won the case and that turned out to be a flat out lie! Why on earth would be you surprised she is now being scrutinized after misleading many?
