Dude, this ahs absolutely
NOTHING to do with A-list, C-List or any particular timeframe at all.
It's about enjoying the timeless exploits of heroes regardless of placing them a particular race, gender or sexuality.
Honestly:
- Do you think ancient Chinese people weren't entertained by European travelers tales about Sir George battling mythical dragons?
- Do you believe African merchants weren't entertained by tales from ancient Persia of Aladdin, Ali Baba or magic Genies?
- Do you think Native Americans weren't entertained by the tale of David vs Goliath when told by Pilgrims?
- Do you not think Japanese travelers weren't entertained by the tales of the African warrior Shaka Zulu?
- Do you think there is
one culture on this
entire planet that has
NOT been entertained, influenced or inspired by the tales of Greek Gods: Zeus, Hera, Athena, Hades, Hercules, Apollo, Hermes etc...
Lastly....
Have you ever heard of Nicolas Kim Coppola?
- Probably not.
Well, Nicolas Kim Coppola is the
real name of:
Nicholas Cage
Nicholas Cage has gone
ON RECORD as saying that when he began his acting career back in the early '80's, he didn't want to be known as the nephew of his far more popular uncle Francis Ford Coppola.
So, he
purposely adopted
(the much cooler sounding) last name of one of
HIS personal favorite fictional comic book heroes:
And with stories like that; do you
really not think that White teens can't be both entertained and inspired by stories of characters created by a Black man primarily
FOR Black people like:
C'mon man.
I
KNOW you're smarter than that...
