    I love the X-Men and I love this panel of black geeks talking about geek stuff. I feel like I found my people can I join next time?

    "The X-Men are hated, feared and despised collectively by humanity for no other reason than that they are mutants. So what we have here, intended or not, is a book that is about racism, bigotry and prejudice."
    -Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont, 1981

      How does anyone see anything different? Amazing quote from one of the actual writers. 😊

    I love X-Men since reading comics back in the 90s. Y'all really got me thinking about how I gave been approaching these negative posts. I have been trying to teach people who don't know what they're speaking on and they won't change their minds. There's something to not engaging cuz it doesn't get me nowhere. It won't open or change the or minds. I also liked The Marvels and I thought it fun. That's all I really want from my movies comics and entertainment as a whole is a fun time. If it makes me think and feel then it's even better

      I think that sums up the way we all often feel. A small part of us wants to "defend" what we know to be good, but we waste time on the people that already made up their mind. Keep the positive energy and enjoy the things you like. 😊

    And thank you for saying what you said about the marvels😊 I love the marvels and feel the only reason people hate on. It is because it’s all woman cast.

    you guys are obsessed with race... you do realize no one outside the US cares if you are black or not... struggles ? everyone struggle through history.... do you want to propagate the idea that the african american suffered more than the poles or the jews ? please people get over yourselves.

      😂😂 Kinda thought the big takeaway was the overall social commentary on social acceptance as told by cartoons. But hey, thanks for your response.
      The non binary Morph and Rouge's behind are the controversies. Race is one type of bigotry. Sexual identity is another.
      Also if all the other points were valid to you and RACE was the one you had issue with.... Maybe look at that.

      @@George.Orwell travel to other places where you don't deal with certain "issues" is always nice. Meeting new people and seeing the world from different perspectives IS always enjoyable.
      Also, the mutant RACE was fighting against the human RACE. Racism was always a part of the show. No one said it was about blacks and whites, Jewish people or Polish people. You made that conversation.

      You are overly attached to a struggle that is no longer yours. Challenge 1: Develop a personality that doesn't match your stereotype: you are almost there. Challenge 2: Stop talking about race struggle as if you were blackemohitler writing about your mein kampf -- your struggle should be economic not social-darwinistic.

      @@George.Orwell overly attached? Did you even watch the video? You seem intent on making a full assessment of who I am based on a UA-cam video. As such which of the speakers are you replying to? Since you have no way of knowing, are you making this assessment to all the speakers? Your first rebuttal was to bring up the Jews and Polish in order to minimize the plight and suffering of the black community. It's not about worse. It exist. Regardless of your feelings on the matter, do you have plans to watch X-men '97? That's the discussion here. The cartoon. Do you plan to watch that? 😂😂
