From what little I have seen of it, it is a great show. I would watch more of it if Cartoon Network was any good about releasing dvd seasons. But Garnet is easily the most well adjusted out of all the gems.

The entire show so far is up on iTunes.

About The case for Reparations article. Cotes mentions that black people effectively could not use the GI Bill after WW2 to buy homes for themselves. It's been awhile since I read the article but what were the mechanics of Red-lining because I don't remember if he covered that.

And maybe this is the best place to ask: Are there any books or anything else that covers the rise of the Southern Strategy, Identity Politics int he US, or the political fallout of the passage of the Civil rights bill?

And has anyone seen Moonlight? A theater in CT is finally going to show it this weekend.

I guess what I'm saying overall is that socialism is the answer to the economic problem. The other problems are more difficult and are only partially addressed by what I've suggested. As to how you would actually effect any of these policies in a country which hates poor people probably even more than it hates PoC, I have no idea.

No offense to you, but I REALLY have grown to hate this line of thinking. "No war but class war" Is basically All Lives Matter for Marxist. We had a very recent re-reg int he LGBT thread argue that the LGBT Rights movement and the left in general wasted a bunch of time and resources on the Gay Marriage fight to the point where we are probably not getting Universal Health Care, When that would have benefited the LGBT community more during the AIDS Epidemic. Any kind of socialist reforms are meaningless if we cannot combat inherent bigotry people have that could limit access and care these programs provide.

If you are looking for POC making comics, May I suggest C. Spike Trotman over at Iron Circus Comics? Shes mainly the publisher but she has a lot of cool stuff on her site from a lot of different people.

Here is the current Kickstarter she's doing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ironspike/letters-for-lucardo-an-erotic-graphic-novel?ref=profile_created

But yeah, I'm finding I have less and less patience with Superhero stuff from the Big Two.

Speaking of comic books, the new young black woman who is going to be Iron Man's replacement had her first issue come out.

I was excited for this until I got to the middle of the comic and:

Her seemingly middle class family was having a picnic in the park when suddenly a random drive-by comes and kills her step dad and her best friend

Why do white writers think the only two black backgrounds is hood violence or the Huxtables?

Isn't this the origin story for The Punisher Basically half of the main roster for both Marvel and DC? What the gently caress is wrong with having a hero with a happy home life or something? Not only is is racist, it's also just loving lazy.

C-SPAM is only more of the same. C-SPAM is the white comfort zone USPOL wanted to be before it was taken over by the exact people all the minorities were being so uppity about.

And people were calling me stupid for saying it was LF 2.0 a Fyad-light DnD board is never a good idea.

White nerdy people love DBZ, but most non-nerdy honkies either look upon it with disdain or don't know what it is at all.

At the risk of making this thread into a anime argument, This might be because a lot of people who don't watch anime think it's just creepy animated porn.

You'd think liberals would be all for it since nothing would have your average conservative 2nd amendment nutjob backpedaling and shrieking for gun control faster than minorities arming themselves. :v:

Hell, isn't this what happened int he 60-70s with the BLack Panthers?
