They finally put a scene in a major Marvel/Disney show reflecting how many black people really feel about America and the government and the response to that is to call Sam a coon.

Im not even shitting on Sam like that.

All i wanted is Sam to say something like im not doing this for America, im doing it for me and mines.

Thats all.

I just hate the whole, dont give up, keep trying hard to change the minds of racists.

Not a huge deal to me. Just dont like that shit
 
Dude told a man who was jailed for 30 years and had to fake his death to escape to stop being bitter.

Like what? Isiah should have choked him out right there.
Mandela went through the same shit, but he stopped being bitter and became the president of a nation. There's a time to feel bitter, but it has to be a part of the process of healing, bitterness can be a real prison that locks you in hatred for good.
 
“Isaiah has been to hell and back—if I was in his shoes, I’d probably feel the exact same way,” Sam tells Sarah. “But what would be the point of all the pain and sacrifice, if I wasn’t willing to stand up and keep fighting?”

And thats what I mean.

That there.

Like hey, racism isnt your fault, and racists are assholes, but make sure you dont give as the victim and keep trying to change the mind of your victimizer.

Like I said, great show, not harping on it, and this is like the 8th thing going on in the plot so it aint even important, but this shit is the laziest way to write racism. Shits an old ass trope. Let the victim try hard to defeat racism.

Let me say this to you and the two posters above me who love to respond to people without addressing them directly, which is very passive aggressive by the way:

I am not one of these idiots who just watched a Tariq Nasheed DVD yesterday and suddenly I think I know enough about black historyto call anyone I disagree with a coon, uncle Tom, bedwench, etc. You've never seen me give it up like that. If I give you a definition of a word, and then ascribe that word to an individual based on their actions aligning with said definition, you can only acknowledge my premise or reject it.

but don't go "aw well I had heard somebody use the word 'coon' wrong so now I'm gonna act like I no longer know what the word means and group EVERYBODY who uses the word into the same category"

Don't play them stupid games with me. @Duwop @AP2.0 and notice I'm addressing you both directly.

I'm glad you brought up this quote because I literally said "nigga what!?" When I heard it for the first time.

The point of the pain and sacrifice of your elders and ancestors is for you to learn from it so that you do not have to repeat their pain and sacrifice. You are a reflection of those who came before you and thereby you are their opportunity to choose a better route than they did last time.

You spit in the face of your elders and ancestors when you insist on repeating their pain. They went through it so you wouldn't have to.
Sam the kinda guy that think it wouldn't happen to him. The guy that if you dress a certain way and talk a certain way you will be ok in America.
He's the kind of guy to get harassed, tased, arrested, or shot while in uniform while crying "yall can't do me like this... I put my life on the line for the country and this whole universe... I'm not a black man, I'm am Avenger"
