so we might as well give them something to be upset about, like a comic book movie featuring people with dark skin and that shuns palefaces except maybe as extras or minor characters. Haw awful. Bless their hearts.

I dislike comic book movies in general so I won't see this one. And no, I haven't seen the latest Star Wars, either.

Now if it was a movie about the real life Black Panthers, I might. That would be a great story. Hollywood just isn't ready to tell it.
