Disney+ Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

And the show is aware that a black man being a hero for this particular country with all the hardships and treatment towards men of color would be an issue.

And they directly addressed damn near every one

1. Black decorated soldier still can't get loan at bank
2. America history of experimentations on black soldiers
3. The lengths they'd go to erase dirty racist history to save face
4. America willing to put a clown like John Walker in the mantle to avoid making it a black man
5. Isiah's own words that no self respecting black man would ever want to be Captain America


Like these are all legit arguments any fan who wanted to bring race into the discussion would present. And I feel like they were all properly addressed. I personally feel like if Sam is 100% Captain America going forward.... This show was very responsible in addressing the racial aspect of it.

I ain't calling Uncle Sam a coon

Not just a Black decorated soldier; a Black Avenger that helped save the universe, if not the planet. Only in America would someone who fought an invading alien army led by someone hellbent on destroying the very universe we all exist in not be able to get a loan.

AND they tossed Isaiah Bradley in jail for doing essentially the same shit they praise and call Steve Rogers a hero for... disobeying an order to save his fellow soldiers/brothers from behind enemy lines
 
Good episode. Wudda been cool too see some visuals of Isaiah in his hey but then they probably wudda shown him get captured too and needled up and I don't wanna see that.

Maybe I missed a line of dialog but what I took from Isaiah is that he and his guys were lied to and given a serum they didn't know they were taking.

Then suddenly they're going on Black ops missions.

The problem wasn't him serving in the army or the missions he went on. The problem was that even after his squad served, the government plotted to kill them off as a failed experiment because the serum was killing them anyway. Isaiah bucked the system to save his guys and when he got caught, they treated him like a labrat.
