Marvel's Black & Minority Characters: Roundtable Discussion

[spideyboy_1111]

Molly is white.....She's a mutant but she's a white mutant, just like Storm is a Black Mutant.......arguments like that just irk me for some reason.

i know, but i was just telling you what hes getting at... and in the comic world.. mutants are there own race

why is it some ethnicities over ride others, but other ethnicities can't? for instance, my cousin is both cajun and black, yet he can claim, if he wants, that he's just black. If a normal anglo guy marries a jewish woman his child can claim to be just jewish, not anglo-jewish.

in this case, I'm saying that mutant is an overriding ethnicity. she's not white, she's mutant.

Sometimes it spawns a "new race" however. I don't like the word but "blackanese" has now entered common slang.

 

[Anubis]

As well as Blaxican.

 

[Varient]

The weird thing is, up until 2 days ago I didn't even know varient was black!

People like mwm would have us believe that most black people are rascist and have a martyr complex but how is that possible if I have had many conversations with varient over the last 9 months and never realised.

Maybe, because he doesn't make a big deal about his race unless someone does something to cause it?

Likewise with anubis (till 2 months ago I had no idea)

Also, dude, you're going to deny the facts about america arming terrorists for which there is evidence, yet you make up a stat that 5% of white people are rascist on the spot and that's supposed to be taken as fact?

(Open Laughter)
OMG,.. I'm noo longer "black enough",... People can't tell by the majority of my posts.


I take your "not knowing/realizing" as a compliment,... it shows that you can have "people" and folk who believe that "of course" blacks act this and that way,.. but whites,...

they are past all that.

Nah man, it's just that you never mentioned it, IE contrary to what mwm believes, not all black people endlessly harp on about race.

But for future reference, if you could keep all posts on the subject of blazing chronic with your homies it would be appreciated, can't have you black folks integrating now can we...

 

[Zoken]

huh... I did not know Varient was black... I only know Anubis and Deemar are because they've mentioned it... I'll file it away for later use.

(raised eyebrow)

"Blackanese?"

(Going to go ask son who lives deeper in culteral reality than his stick in the mud nerdish dad.)

 

[Varient]

As well as Blaxican.

?????????
Sigh. Stepping away to return to the room where my son takes joy in knowing something I don't to ask about "Blaxican"


Sumbody wanna post a list please?

(Varient imagines the further chewing of english language.)

How about Blazilian? t:

((((shudder)))

future use?

 

[Zoken]

oh, yes that's right, I'm going to find an appropriate time later to mock you for all that your race has accomplished and endured because I'm truly that ignorant. It's a phrase simply meaning I'll try not to forget a peice of pertinant information about someone I respect...

 

[hippy fascist]

((((shudder)))

future use?

when the revolution comes...

 

[Shockdingo]

Hehe, on the subject of "blackanese" I used to have a joke with my friends, we'd say I was Blackanese-adian. (Black, japanese and canadian) The reason for this; well my eyes often made it look as if I was mixed, it's not as common of an occurance these days but oh well. Being thought to be part japanese is ironic since I'm totally in love with japanese women. Oh and the adian part?Well.... I'm a canuck.....eh! so mix it all together and you've got that.t:

Seeing how English is actually my third language, and given the mass complexity to learn it (You would not BELIEVE the rule changes from French to English), it almost is disheartening that people destroy such a rather joyful language. To see it, I almost wish I didn't learn it at all.

You're not a native English speaker?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Nope. My primary and first language is French (being from France). Though I DO enjoy using English more. That's why it upsets me so.

Welcome to the dark side.

**Scratches head** I hate the english language, arbitrary rules depending on circumstance and time and even geographical location! It's ridiculous. But, I guess that's just one more example of Exotic becomes... eh... actually I'm not going to complete that thought.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Welcome to the dark side.

I actually rather enjoy it.

That's half the fun. The rules are absolutely backwards from every other language I can use. It's like a little treat.


Think of you being a primary English speaker, being able to utilize Italian. Wouldn't you then love using Italian when you could?

 

[Zoken]

I like other languages because they have, for the most part, rules and absolutes. an e is an e is an e almost always. no seven different ways to pronounce it! no needless strings of letters to make a single sound... Blight flight fight might. WHY IS THERE A GH?! laugh... GH DON"T MAKE AN F SOUND!

I'm sorry, the english language has always frustrated me.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

It should. It's complexity is rather large, and requires an immense amount of skill to wield. I almost envy people who have learned it naturally, as it was definitely not an easy path to take.

I love how it's so...structured. I can say "how are you doing?" three different ways in French using the same exact words. So if I get off tangent, I can easily just recover. English just demands so much more dedication and effort! It's pure awesome.

 

[Zoken]

yeah, but it's so easy to make a mistake in english, just writing let alone speaking it's obscene.

Have you ever heard the joke about the panda in the restaraunt?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

No, I haven't.

But that's the great obstacle of English I love, the attention that must be paid to it. The way that emphasis on sound must have much more control to meaning. It's almost like an art to wield English.
