The Black Family in Comics: Marvel’s “Infinite Gauntlet”
Now it’s 2015 and Marvel is talking about more diversity for their Marvel comics by bring back a comic book that I had forgotten about that in my Imo should have never been discontinued. As for me I’m not a huge comic book fan but I know of them and read a quite a lot in my life time but life happened and I stopped will looks like I’m gonna have to get to readin’!
As part of efforts to bring more diversity into its illustrated universes, the company has reintroduced a superhero clan The Bakian family: Anwen; her father, Menzin; little sister Fayne; and her grandfather live in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by gigantic alien bugs and different factions waging war in search of the all-powerful Infinity Stones….
Do you #stillstandwithahmed? Ahmed Mohamed story continued…
As the TRUTH about Ahmed has unfolded are SOME of you still using the Hashtag #istandwithahmed? Are you still consigning that he’s a cute (although he is cute) Muslim high school freshmen who ( shouldn’t have) took his “ invented clock” to school who than took his “invented clock” to engineering class he shows it to his Teacher then his Teacher told that boy to NOT carry his little “invented clock” to the next class or show it to other teachers; classmates because it LOOKS SUSPICIOUS AND PEOPLE WOULD THINK IT WAS BOOMB.
So what does this cute little muslim boy do he takes his “invented clock” to his next class anyway AFTER HE WAS TOLD NOT TO the Alarm on his “invented clock, clock went off NOT once but twice. The Teacher then called the principal who then called the police then I guess someone pulled out they smartphone took his now famous handcuff photo now I will say this if this had been a cute white high school freshmen no one would have paid it any attention he may have been arrested for the same thing but TREATED much differently. When the police asked he was passive aggressive and hostile so he was NOT arrested and put in jail for a making a bomb he was charged with a BOOMB HOAX. While National; local News pounced on this humane interest race; religion story America was;are still outraged and came together for Ahmed with love, support a hashtag #istandwithahmed and his name has gone viral, Ahmed got lots of Twitter followers the President; Mark Zuckerberg gave him a shout out, he appeared on Good morning America, The Today show and was scheduled to be on the Ellen Degeneres Show; someone set up a #istandwithahmed fund raising campaign through LaunchGood to do date ya’ll have raised 15,423 dollars Microsoft has given him thousands of dollars worth of FREE stuff hmmm was one of the gifts an Xbox One? (I MEANT THAT SARCASTICALLY) During ALL of Ahmed’s interviews he seemed to relish in all the attention he was getting as I sit back and read the social media comments one facebook user told me that I needed to give Ahmed props for inventing the clock I was like wtf you still wanna cosign after all the evidence that has been proven and presented to you?
I’m just smdfh while saying ya’ll took the bait hook line and sinker ya’ll would rather believe a LIE celebrate a FRUAD come to defense of a FRUAD, donate your hard earned money to a FRUAD rather than just sit back and drink your tea and LOOK and LISTEN as I did you would see the cracks in his story. Reportedly, his parents have taken Ahmed out of school and the child is not eating or sleeping well also the family is now hired a lawyer to see if Ahmed’s civil; legal rights have been violated also to get Ahmed’s clock back from Irving Police Department. The family said they’re also suing because they say Ahmed had been “severely traumatized”, and they hope one will experience what he did. Ummmmm no Boo I think your guilty conscience is getting to you.
I still say Ahmed’s family are race baiters I believe they came up with this plan knowing that Ahmed would end up arrested I don’t think they planned for their plan to go this far I just thank GOD Ahmed didn’t get shot or killed or we’d be hearing a different story. I have to remember that Ahmed story is a side effect of the social media & BREAKING NEWS age. Everyone wants a feel good story, everyone wants to rally around injustice but IMO (in my humble opinion) don’t jump on the latest hashtag; or reach in your pocket book ready to donate to a cause that’s NOT a cause but a TRUE FRAUD. Oh BTW I STAND BY WHAT I WROTE SOME OF YA’LL STILL GOT PUNK’D!!!
Native American child sent home by Utah school for wearing traditional Mohawk hairstyle

It’s SEEMS when (SOME) White AND Black (MORE WHITES TEND TO TAKE OVER EVERYTHING THOUGH) folks loose control over one thing they take control over the next. Remember how they (NOT ALL) TIRED to control how we wore our Natural Hair? The found out they couldn’t control that so they turned their attention to other people of color who also want to represent THEIR CULTURE;HERITAGE. This poor baby was removed from school because of his hairstyle that represents WHO HE IS HIS HERITAGE;HIS CULTURE Now as soon as mainstream white media sees an opening white folks are gonna start rockin’ this mo’hawk and call it a TREND IT’S GONNA BE COOL AND IN STYLE while NOT understanding the HISTORY behind the hairstyle. White people have NO culture and they (SOME ARE) jealous cause People of color have CULTURE and they want to be the ones to say THEY started it! WATCH ya’ll this Mo Hawk gonna rock the Runways! If you’re white and you wanna rock our culture at least learn what the significance behind the culture;style is and give credit where it originated that’s all we ask.
A Native American child was sent home from school for wearing a traditional Mohawk hairstyle because the school said it was against dress code, WFAA reports.
The Utah second grader is of Seneca and Paiute heritage and chose the hairstyle because it is commonly worn by Seneca Nation members. But this week his mother received a call from Arrowhead Elementary officials in St. George, Utah, saying….

NC police chief retires after calling ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement a ‘terrorist group’ on Facebook
WOW…. Looks like this dude was typing to much I don’t feel sorry for him NEVER TYPE ANYTHING ON Social Media that may harm you, your family, credibility last your livelihood. These RACIST polices and regular hard working white folks are really SHOWING THEIR RACIST; IGNORATE beliefs. People are afraid of the unknown for they can not see or hear into the present nor into the future they worry, gossip and make assumptions and defend the person, place or thing for they feel they know that person, place or thing telling anyone who will listen some people may say… “BLACKLIVESMATTER MOVEMENT is a racist HATE group!” when in fact it IS the opposite. So before we act as judge and jury know your FACTS before you give your opinion. White people (DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL I DON’T MEAN ALL WHITE PEOPLE!) are getting scared of the unknown as we all are but SOME are taking it to far when it comes to their racist beliefs MANY are not racist but seem to not know or not fully understand the issues at hand,
Just this year a White man brought this to my attention he says when we people of color are talking on;offline about THEIR issues of their race, their lives, police brutality, white privilege; supremacy… WHITE PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN MORE SPEAK;TYPE LESS READ AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND ask questions yes but don’t get offended or take it personal when the answer is not what you wanted to hear. OUR VOICES ARE NOT HEARD BECAUSE WHITE FOLKS ARE SO BUSY RUNNG THEIR MOUTH; ( trying to sympathize or cuddle us) OR TYPING until they end up NOT HEARING US; HALF ASS READING what we’re saying until what we are trying to say or teach you is lost. #BLACKLIVESMATTER however, the movement needs to regroup; get these militant hate filled, wanna kill a white, man; cop black people out of the picture; start engaging conversations about our issues that have been at the forefront of our lives that’s never REALLY been resolved and that’s TRUE racial equity and an end to the Prison Industrial Complex; abuse of power in our justice system. You say what about Black on Black crime? I’ll answer that in my next Blog. When you start caring about #BLACKLIVESMATTER then #ALLIVESWILLMATTER!
PLEASE YA’LL STOP LOOKING AT FOX NEWS IT’S HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!

Trey Radel, Busted On Cocaine Charge, Voted For Drug Testing Food Stamp Recipients
ALL (NOT ALL DAMNIT) THESE PLITICIANS ARE A BUNCH OF RACIST HYPOCRITES! This one a druggy and a racist. This political season is really turning out to be a JOKE!
WASHINGTON — In September, Rep. Trey Radel voted for Republican legislation that would allow states to make food stamp recipients pee in cups to prove they’re not on drugs. In October, police busted the Florida Republican on a charge of cocaine possession…

4 Powerful Photos Capture The Sad Truth Of Racism In America
As I look at these photos I feel his pain not as a Black Man but of a Black Woman who’s life DOES NOT MATTER #BLACKLIVESDONTMATTER you white folks say but #ALLIVESMATTER! Let me give you some food for thought IF #ALLIVESMATTER why is it when a BLACK life is taken you want to make an argument,that black life that was snuffed out was a thug and a criminal you say well if he/she hadn’t been breaking the law… I THOUGHT #ALLIVESMATTERED?
Although, I understand where my Black Brotha was going with the #ITDOESNTMATTER hashtag but to say #ITDOESNTMATTER makes white people who don’t believe in #BLACKLIVESMATTER; say #ALLIVESMATTER feel more comfortable saying #ITDOESNTMATTER WE MUST NOT MAKE WHITE FOLKS FEEL COMFORTABLE THEY NEED TO HEAR US SAY AND SEE THE WORDS #BLACKLIVESMATTER than follow it up with but you don’t care cause you are selective when it comes to BLACK LIVES you say #ALLIVESMATTER but when one of your OWN WHITE race is killed by the police where’s the outrage then? You to my people when a white life is taken by the police we need to treat the white victims(s); as if they was one of ours have the same outrage and say their name LOUDLY!
My BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE ALONG WITH OUR WHITE ALLIES WE MUST DISMANTLE THIS NEW JIM CROW! One thing that white folks MUST start doing (on;offline) is LISTEN MORE, TYPE LESS;speak less when people of color are talking, discussing, debating even when it gets heated yes ask questions just don’t get all in your feelings when we tell you like it is. LAST WHITE PEOPLE DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL PEOPLE COLOR ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING! IF #ALLIVESMATTER then you won’t mind just listening; reading and fixing what you created if you don’t than I guess #ITDONTMATTER to you that a LIFE was taken by police brutality.
To my BLACK PEOPLE we NEED TO STOP KILLING OUR OWN CAUSE IF WE DON’T CARE WHITE FOLKS WON’T EITHER! BOOM READ THIS>
Amandla Stenberg Launches New Comic Book Starring a “Badass Girl” of Color
I love the fact we’re seeing more People of Color in comic bocks and graphic novels but it be nice see a DARK SKINNED Character you white people (DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONAL WHITE PEOPLE of course I DON’T MEAN ALL OF YOU THINK THIS WAY) may say what’s the BIG DEAL at least you have something of your OWN! yes that’s TRUE but light skinned or white seems to be always the DEFULT when it comes to producing; casting for movies, TV or even creating a comic book; graphic novel. I am proud of this sistah girl Amandla Stenberg but from the Hunger Games Movies I wonder does she recognize that it is important to NOT only represent her OWN complexation but give the DARK SKINNED GIRLS some SHINE!
