Ahh, Daredevil the cheap ass knock off Spiderman

go!

And yes, hopefully that comes across as the blatant sarcasm it is.

wowsah156 I concur, BP should be held as a universial character without regard to race.I mean after all the Blade Movies and Spawn Animated series and comics gained universal appeal.Just as Spiderman and he like are admired by all races.

BET is still a strugling network and oe cn't help to think how the animation would look like..then again after seeing how the upcoming Brave and the Bold looks like ass, it won't make a difference.

Speaking of differences, BP is ar from being some DD clone, for one he's not blind.Two he's an accomplish scientist and ruler of an advanced African nation.Three he's stronger than Captain America.

And your point being...

Black Panther was created by Jack Kirby who during the turbulant sixties felt that Blacks should be represented or acknowleged in Comicdom.

DC followed suit with "Black Lightning"?!? Never cared for Luke Cage back then as he was just a parody of the Blaxploitation era and a bit of stereotype.

If anyone should helm the BP series, yes It should be Hudlin,Dywane McDuffle or Matt Wayne.

a Movie would have been cool but who would be right for the part if not Snipes? Maybe Micheal Jai White but NOT 50 Cent.Aw hell naw!!

As for the animated series,It only maks sense that Keith David reprise his voiceover role as T'challa like he did in the Fanatstic Four cartoon (Circa 1995)

Keith is the Sam Jackson of voiceovers:Spawn,Halo,Mass Effect,Justice League,Navy ads, you name it.Chiles is da muthafukin man!!

Just, please... make him single and base the character on Jim Owsley (Christopher Priest)'s run on the title.

Oh, and yes... the Boondocks IS the funniest and most clever cartoon on TV today. Thank you. :)

They should make a movie out of Catcha Freeman. Now that would be bad-ass...

That being said, the best thing about Token is that he's the richest kid in town. He speaks better English than the white kids, his parents are doctors, and he's probably got the most self-respect of any South Park character. He doesn't take Cartman's crap, for example.

Boondocks, however, is awesome. It's the only anime-style show I'll watch.

...I just cant wait when a animated BP shows on Hell Date or Spring Bling...thats somethin I would like to see on BET (either that or McGruder bashin the channel 24/7)...

PS: GO VH1!

Only the dominant culture has the luxury to be completely unaware that they ARE the dominant culture. wake UP.

Nightly Entertainment Television?

Nasty Entertainment Television?

Now Entertainment Television?

Nuclear Entertainment Television?

OH! I get it! You're an asshole!

Sweenydave is correct, 'dominant culture' as a phrase has all kinds of problems with it, not the least of which is the amorphous semantic meaning of 'culture', and the sort of aggressive implication of 'dominant'.

I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with acknowledging the differences.

Anyway I prefered the BP from that 90's anmated FF episode way over the Panther in Ultimate avengers 2, who looked more like a "Catman".

This is a deep question, one that has had America at odds with itself since 1776. http://tinyurl.com/5scr5j

Martin Luther King Jr. said that there shouldn't be any other way to judge a man (or, we can amend, women either) except by the content of his character. We can all agree on that, I'm sure. Of course, this was a radical idea at the time, since Slavery, America had been living with Segregation, it was the law of the land, and King's ideas were seen as straight up sedition by the establishment. Since the Cilvil Rights Movement, there has been a lot of debate over just how much a step forward it was for race relations, with some people theorizing that: ..."liberalism had as its first and all-consuming goal the expiation of American guilt rather than the careful development of true equality between the races." http://tinyurl.com/5k6uhz

In our day, we're still trying to figure out why racism is still here, since the Civil Rights Movement happened before most of us were born, and we're all taught that it worked (right??) why is there still such thing as racism? http://tinyurl.com/6x6xpr Some people, like j2talk, feel obliged to blind themselves, stick their fingers in their ears and declare themselves 'colorblind', completely ignoring that racial distinctions could potentially be a positive aspect of American culture, something that makes America stronger, instead of weaker, while others reject the implicit accusation of being labeled the 'dominant culture', and reject whatever point, no matter how rational and neutral, throwing the baby out with the bathwater for their righteous indignation.

Race is a component of culture. So is history, community, religion, language, music, art, dialect, etc. All of these things add up to culture. Culture is organic, it grows, adapts, changes. The Black American experience is arguably a different 'culture' than it was even 30 years ago. Is it better? Some would argue yes, others no. Is America more racist or less since Slavery? Definitely. Since Segregation? Sure. Since the seventies? That's arguable. Certainly, it's become a component of American Culture that it's not such an odd thing to see a successful African American anywhere on the landscape, but racism is more complicated, subtle and insidious than a Klan member chasing a negro with a rope in one hand and a torch in the other. After he had been released from prison in 1990, Nelson Mandela said he would rather live in South Africa under apartheid than in America, since at least in South Africa you can see the racism on everyone's face, but in America it's hidden under masks. Mandela has since said that he loves the idea of America, calls Americans 'a proud people', but you have to admit, there's a point there.

On a philosophical level: Is there a difference between black and white Americans?

Sure. People are complicated. Any society is more than the sum of its laws, the written history, and the smiling face we show the rest of the world. There is still racism here.

On a legal level: There is hardly any institutional racism left in America, if you don't count that about 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college.If you don't think this is an aspect of cultural racism, I'd like to know what other explanation you might have. At the very least, it points to a cultural difference.

On a personal level: In the realm of academic cultural theory the issue of race in America is considered to be a national passtime, Americans are obsessed with discussing it, arguing it, and generally just trying to wrap their heads around it. This long-winded post of mine has been a drop in the ocean compared with what goes on every day all over the country, so, to wrap up, asking the question "what is the difference" is actually one of the most loaded questions you can ask in contemporary American society. Does that answer your question?

America is big and complicated enough to be more than one thing at the same time.

One of the best ways to experience BP would be playing Ultimate Alliance. One of the best Marvel videogames..ever!

There's a difference between self-segregation and racism. One is an extension of cultural differences, and the other is an expression of fear and hatred due to skin color and xenophobia.

I live in a multiracial community. I'm one of the few white people here. Most of my neighbors are middle eastern, Russian, Indian, far-east Asian, or Black. Each group maintains their own little groups, and enforces this self-segregation by speaking their own dialect, dressing their own way, and talking about things of interest to their culture and heritage... But none of us hates the other. Sure, I get mad when the Arabic girls play their AWFUL fucking "lalalala" music in the parking lot, but I don't hate them or want to hurt them for their heritage or music or skin color. The Black people here don't seem to hate me. I've dated people of all backgrounds and colors. I'd say that in my community, there's not much racism to be found.

The only time I hear cries of racism these days is when someone says something stupid and they don't understand why it's offensive to someone else. I'm part Native American, and I'm offended by Chief Wahoo and the Redskins, but I don't see anything in public that is as ugly and racist as that.

Sure, Don Imus can say "nappy headed hos" and get sacked for it. But a whole stadium full of people can do a motherfucking "tomahawk chop" while a "red nigger" character dances around the field, and THAT isn't racism?

YES, things are much better than they were in the 1970s. Back then, I would have been afraid to take the risk and cross racial lines to date someone. These days it's no big deal, except with the old people. Back in the 70s, it was OUTRAGEOUS to see mixed race couples on TV. It was almost scandalous when the Jeffersons had an interracial couple as neighbors, and it was a source of comedy. These days, Tom & Helen wouldn't seem out of place or like a joke at all.

Oh, yeah, there are wacko racist groups on all sides. But you know what? They're the extremists and the fringe. They don't represent the majority by any means...

Just look at Obama's poll numbers. He got more votes than the southern white man when he was in the south! That he is the frontrunner in a Presidential primary is a HUGE indicator that MOST people are no longer racist-- Not in the way we once defined it, anyway.

Recognizing cultural differences is NOT THE SAME as racism. Black women have wide nostrils, big lips and big butts, and I LOVE THEM FOR IT! It's not any more racist to point out their physical tendencies than it is for them to point out that white boys have no ass, or Japanese women sound like squealing children during sex. THESE THINGS ARE GENERALLY TRUE.

RACISM is when you HATE people for their differences. Most white people don't hate Black people for their cultural and physical differences; They're just a little confused by them. When you don't live in a particular culture, a foreign one can be hard to grasp.

But failure to grasp it is not hatred. It's not racism. I've seen racism-- Back in the 70s and early 80s-- and it's ugly, horrible, and nothing like what people experience today when they're playing the racism card.

Never understood those panty vending machines over at the land of the rising sun.That aside good post.
