Cops vs Superheroes. Top Story - December 2017.
Earlier this year, a close friend of mine was killed at the hands of police. I won’t go into too much detail about it (because this article has enough triggers), but long story short, it wasn’t met with the worldwide media attention as a bunch of other fatalities handed by police towards black men and women. That’s not to say that I think they all need to flood your Facebook timelines every time a black person dies at the hands of police (oftentimes unarmed) because if so, we’ll wouldn’t be able to escape it.

Wakanda U: Black Villains Matter
Name some Black comic book villains off the top of your head. Who comes to mind immediately? Black Manta is certainly a stand out. Fans of Netflix’s Luke Cage will probably call out Cottonmouth, Diamondback, and Black Mariah, even if they have never cracked open an issue of the titular indestructible Black hero. The Black Panther movie is around the corner. Do I hear a Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan’s Marvel movie redemption) or White Gorilla (Danial Kaluuya of Get Out and Black Mirror fame)? And how many of you brought up names of villains that weren’t originally Black? For instance, the late Michael Clarke Duncan’s Kingpin being the ONLY redeeming quality of the horrible Daredevil movie, or Jamie Foxx’s shockingly good Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
