    Thomas was and is an embarrassment to the Court. That he replaced Thurgood Marshall makes him an embarrassment to the country.

    Oblivious?

    What were you aiming for?

    You didn't express an opinion; you missed the point in the kind of way that we're likely to tell our grandchildren about.

    The piece was clear and unambiguous in the point it was making. Falcon and War Machine are both black heroes who are given agency by their proximity to and relationship with white heroes. Falcon was helping out veterans before Cap called on him; the Avenger that Sam became was dependent on Cap.

    The same is true of Rhodes and the suit - it's all down to Tony.

    Black Panther is not comic relief, nor is his mantle conveyed by white people. His origins are thoroughly Wakandan.

    It does not mean Falcon or Iron Patriot are bad, it just means that Black Panther is the first black hero in the current crop of superhero films to have an origin independent of whites.

    How did you not get this?

    Nick Fury is not the sidekick of anyone. he's the one who formed the Avengers.

    Well it sounded like Falcon and WM/IP was getting buried in the quote.

    There's a guy on youtube that does GOT reviews weekly and I never miss them. I think he qualifies as a "blerd".

    Blue Lives Matter, everyone.
    Louisana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) signed the “Blue Lives Matter” bill into law Thursday, making the state the first in the nation where public safety workers are considered a protected class under hate-crime law

    Finally, progress!

    I hardly think a man praising Stover's ham fisted hackjob ROTS novel is in a position to point fingers at others for being fools.

    Oh that was one of the good ones! In a world of Luuukes and galaxy guns, it was a step up. The best Prequel era EU save Luceno's Labyrinth of Evil.

    He only comprehends if it's a club he can use to bash America due to a lingering insecurity.
