there are a load of green lanterns, some are black some are white some are aliens etc i honestly couldnt tell you who was the first one but to the comics the first one wasnt even human. There is only one black green lantern i know of called john stewart so it can be confusing.
having said that there are LOADS and i do mean LOADS of black comic book characters but they are not in the main stream a few are popping up here and there in cartoons like young justice but we really need to do our own thing and when i say that we need to be the producers and people who market the product OURSELVES so it reaches the right people in the right way.
im working on this myself but i know i aint alone give it time but the main thing that makes it hard is the lack of support especially from black people.
The 'black comic book writer' mentions the three black rule and I find that to be disheartening if it is true. And, I know that his take on why there are not more black powerful black superhero's is true, though. There is a movie coming out about the Green Lantern and the actor playing him is white. Wasn't he initially a black comic book superhero that came out in the 70's? My memory isn't so hot, so don't quote me on that...anyway why has his color changed? This video is very interesting and gave me a lot of food for thought!
Great video. Very interesting stuff. I remember when DC broke out all the Black comics in the 90's like Steel, Icon, Static, & Blood Syndicate. It was breakthrough stuff. Great reads & very inspiring for a young reader. I may actually have an early issue of Icon or Blood Syndicate in a crate somewhere.
True, hence why white people were going ape-shit over the little girl in Hunger Games being black. Her combined with Lenny Kravitz character and the other black teen who helped the female lead, made it a black film in their minds.
Once again, my point is proven. White psychosis and them LOOKING at EVERYTHING through a RACIAL LENS, then promptly BITCHING when something doesn't go their way. WHICH IS RARER THAN ANYONE ELSE'S.
"It makes the readers uncomfortable because they're not used to seeing it"
If you put in 3 guys and have the rest be white THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR THEM
But my BLACK ass can't do what they do even after everyone points out what whites do is plain ol fukkery. It's like it'll be acknowledged how they bitch until they get their way, but deep down, blacks feel like "How dare you try to counter their attacks!!!!". You can't convince me that's not the case.
IT TAKES A WOLF TO CATCH A WOLF. I'LL BE A WOLF!!!!!!
