ROSA PARKS
1955, a 42-year-old seamstress who worked at a department store, boarded her bus to head home.
That day, however, the African-American defied the racial segregation that existed in parts of the United States by refusing to give up her seat for a white person to sit.👇🏾

Schulz was warned that Franklin would offend racist, pro-segregation Southerners, but he insisted on drawing him.

No one did anything to Scott Adams. He's just a terrified, racist man.

Thank you, Charles Schulz. We miss your humour, your bravery, and your kind heart.

Redlining, for decades, has shaped the formation of our neighborhoods, businesses, schools, etc. Today, the racial makeup of our communities is primarily influenced by Jim Crow-era redlining that reinforced segregation.

Oh well, after 3 years of supporting a supremacist, segregationist, eugenics, colonialist and imperialist ideology, as a member of their government, and somehow it's as if Storm was never complicit in accepting a N on that stupid council. Now just imagine if it was Cyclops.😏

are people seriously bitching about the Proud Family reboot being "woke?"

the reboot of the show that touched on segregation in the 1960s and anti-Muslim bigotry after 9/11 among other things?

they were "woke" (read: socially aware) before people referred to it as "woke"

today's ep is about pov pob (ball toss) where men and women line up and get to know each other playing ball. our culture is quite strict on gender segregation, so it's a safe way to court someone publicly.

while girls can play with guys and girls, men can't throw to men!

Far too often the modern "anti-racists" are more blatantly racist than those they point fingers at -- all the while pretending Superheroes would be on their side 🤡🤡

If Supes were like modern "anti-racists" they'd be pro-segregationist Magneto

Yes, this was a Cyclops that would have made Tyke so proud of his older self, 'cause he'd never be a segregationist. He'd never side with his people in an eventual new genocide. He'd stay with humans and the Eternals. ⏬

As much as I would love to see the X-Men in the MCU, I don't know which version they'll give us. I would be surprised if they don't usher in the segregationist, uncharacteristically pompous, booty-chatter of Krakoa.
We want Claremont/90's, but that would make too much sense. lol

Honest questions...
1. who is the market for these new X-Men Books?
2. If the X-men are now racist, segregationist, sociopaths...what reader is supposed to relate to those traits?
3. Does "hero" mean something different now
