Unintentionally Racist Concepts

I don't see how this Black spiderman thing is something to argue about. Peter Parker is white, however Spiderman can be black,that is if a black guy takes on the mantle of Spiderman.

Unless its Peter Parker from a parallel reality, there's no way that Parker can be black - being that he is set in stone ficitionally.

unless the character is an icon or their race is a large part of their character, then changing the race shouldn't matter. however, spiderman is to popular to be subject to a change like that, it's not racist to say so, similarly it's not sexist to not want spiderman to be played by a woman.

characters like flash thompson and the like could easily be subject to a race change. just my opinion.

I don't share this view, Parker is not set in stone as BND showed.

Jubilee is an asian girl in a yellow raincoat, whose mutant power is to make fireworks... 😬

It's a bit worse than simply "asian girl" If she were Japanese there'd be nothing wrong there. However, she's Chinese and has the fireworks powers.

Of course not many people realize that the Chinese invented fireworks, nor do people seem to remember that she's fully Chinese and not of mixed racial origins. For example she's frequently drawn without the palpebronasal giving her a more Caucasian look.

So it's OK she's Chinese and must have fireworks powers?

That's like saying Black Panther should wield a super spear, cause all black people know about spear chucking. 😈

What does this part mean to you?

Just heard of this old concept. 😘

• The Black Bomber
So bad that it was never actually published, this legendary misfire from DC Comics featured a white racist who, due to experimental chemicals he was exposed to in Vietnam, would turn into a black superhero during times of stress, complete with his own African-American girlfriend and a costume based on a basketball uniform. Wiser heads nixed the series during the production stage, a decision for which we are eternally grateful.

Apparently, this was part of the process that would create Black Lightning (which is still a bad name, today.)

Black Power from the recent JLA arc is probably a throwback to that.

You know, I don't get offended by the term 'honky.' If some black person called me that, I would just go "Yeah, sure."
Maybe that's part of growing up in the least-discriminated club in the world: the white anglo-saxon christian male club.

On the flipside of this debate i want to talk about something that has never gelled with me;

Hudlin making Dr Doom racist when he never was before.

Probably a Doombot. The real Dr Doom knows Eugenics is a load of horseshit.

Which raises the question: "why make a racist Doombot?"

He loves to potray people mostly (white) as idiots or racists, while potraying blacks as superior in both senses.

Hudlin with out a doubt ment it to be doom, not a doombot

I know what Hudlin intended, I'm telling you the logical in-Universe explanation.

I can't pretend to understand the mind of Doom. Sometimes he's so brilliant he just might be ****ing retarded.

Maybe he became friends with herr Skull and Namor, both are as racist as they come 😈

dude ur explanation is even more illogical then doom him self being racist, so doom not racist but he created his doom bot to be? come on now.

What happen is hudlin a racist he made doom racist for a story arc. Fact. That how it is, there is no other explanation for it, it was not some doom bot, it was doom. But as comic fans we know it complete bullshit and will and should be ignored. I just pretend it never happen.

I pretend it never happened as well i couldn't believe what i was reading at the time though especially after growing up with Dr Doom as one of my favourite characters, one of the biggest OOC moment in comics ever in my opinion.
