It’s Not Diversity Marvel, It’s Poor Implementation

A lot has been said about Marvel Comics vice president of sales David Gabriel’s comments indicating that diversity was the cause of their sales slumped. Following the outcry, Gabriel attempted to clarify the initial statements. “What we heard was that people didn’t want any more diversity. They didn’t want female characters out there. That’s what we heard, whether we believe that or not.

Anyone who has ever been to Far Rockaway could easily see that it would be a target for gentrification. You’ve...

Django Unchained Is Pure Tarantino But Is That Good or Bad?

Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained really has people talking. Even Minister Farrakhan weighs in with his positive dissection of the Django Unchained in this slightly spoiler-giving interview starting at about 19 minutes in until the 33 minute mark. So I had to see what all the buzz was about. This isn’t so much a movie review as it is a commentary on the external talk about the film. If you haven’t seen the film, read on, this writing is spoiler free. So now I’ve seen it and I liked it. First off, Leonardo DiCaprio was acting his ass off. Aside from a few accent...

Chris Rock: Happy White People’s Independence Day

Comedian Chris Rock stirred up the dander of the Internet on July 4th with an Independence Day tweet. “Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren’t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks,” – Chris Rock As can be imagined, people had things to say regarding Chris’ comment. Some took it as a joke from a comedian albeit with some truth to it. Others were upset and took it as an unpatriotic statement. Of course people aren’t going to agree on everything that’s said by anyone. In this case though a couple things need to be looked at. One, Chris...
