Here’s a funny thing haters say about BLACK,

“iF bLaCks hAvE sUpErpOwERs hOw’D tHeY LeT sLaVeRY hAppEn?”

Now, aside from the fact that I explain empowered blacks are a minuscule (but growing) number of the population, let dive into these dark fan assumptions.

Comics set some readers up to think of power as absolute because the heroes always manage to win but... if all one black woman can do is fly that’s not protection against a barrage of police bullets?

She’s one person, she still dies.

Walk with me...

A 15th century African in the Congo who can manipulate water doesn’t make him invulnerable to the musket balls and swords of gangs of armed slavers.

This shit isn’t rocket science.

Decades of seeing a rich white vigilante in a cape use gadgets to beat poor people’s ass has y’all goofy.

It’s absolute escapist fantasy that this sort of character lives long.

Which is fine, enjoy — that’s the point.

And the point in BLACK is that regardless of superpowers, and because of racism, if you don’t have the numbers, a few black kids shooting lasers out their faces and a jumping really high ain’t making a come up against the US feds.

I know I don’t have to explain to my supporters but when see that line of “thought” I think that maybe some folks need to put down the comics and expand their view of the real world.

Because you’re not reading comics to momentarily escape, you’ve become detached from reality.
