First, this is exactly why I don’t get upset when new versions of charcters or stories don’t look like ones I’ll like; the ones I do are still there. At worst it means there won’t be new official stuff in the vein I like for a while.
That said, yeah, its hard to sympathize when the majority of stories are still about white males and framing it as ‘losing’ characters to someone else. Are you really using the demographics of characters to keep score? And objecting at moves to let other people tell new stories? And not even trying to relate to character slightly different from you? When groot and rocket connected with so many people, that sort of thing still mystifies me.
During the “Being Non-Compliant” panel it was said "our toys won't be taken away". But isn't that already happening? We lost Thor. We lost Cap. Sooner or later Miles will replace Peter. Avengers goes all female. I mean, it feels like all my favorites are being slowly chipped away and replaced. What comics am I supposed to read soon?
Your toys aren’t being taken away, your mom just told you that you have to share them and now you don’t want them anymore because they have cooties on them.
I dunno man, you might actually have to try relating to a character that doesn’t look like you at some point. And you happen to be part of the one group that has really not in recent memory been called upon to do that. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t feel all that bad for you?
It's a shame an announcement like this even has to be put out honestly. 🙄
Poor Fran. 😔
Well, well what have we here?
Hmm I wonder what this is all about if it's not racism...HMMMMMMM

“The police don’t target black people,” says the white person.
“LGBTQ+ people have plenty of protection,” says the straight, cisgender person.
“Women don’t feel harassed at work,” says the man.
“Poor people don’t need more government help,” says the rich person.
“Immigrants feel welcome here,” says the natural-born citizen.
Please stop invalidating the concerns of people who have problems that you’re not experiencing. Instead, listen to them, and learn what you can do to help.

LGBTQ+ USAians: hey can we have equal rights
conservatives: stop shoving your AGENDA in my face!
Black USAians: can you stop killing us
conservatives: wow ok that is un-American. Respect our police!
Asian USAians and Latino USAians: we're part of this country too, can you stop treating us like we don't belong and respect our culture
conservatives: are you trying to ERASE this country?!?!?!
Indigenous USAians: how about you admit all the atrocities you committed and also stop further hurting Native communities
conservatives: what sort of anti-white PROPOGANDA is this?!?!?
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
