Racistest Superheroes

[Joe Rice]

I just posted something on CSBG that I'm pretty proud of. I don't get to do much expose-style journalism there, but here it is (http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/01/12/racistest-superheroes-ever/#more-3819).

[Agent Helix]

You're a very bad man, Joe Rice.

[Joe Rice]

You're a very bad man, Joe Rice.

THIS WILL NOT STAND! I crusade against bigotry.

[Rob on the Job]

Excellent work, Mr. Rice.

Groundbreaking.

Hard-hitting.

Incisive.

But you forgot another example ...

The Australian wannabe plus ultra:

[Ed Cunard]

I want to have your racist babies.

The Jury is still out on whether Australians are too Irish to be considered human.

[Joe Rice]

I want to have your racist babies.

You mean anti-racist-babies, right? Because otherwise, I'm not in!

[Rob on the Job]

The Jury is still out on whether Australians are too Irish to be considered human.

Oh baby.

Man the ramparts, sir.

The Irish have set down their Guinesses and are mobilizing to attack as we speak.

[Elegance Liberty]

Ow, my political correctness!

Seriously though, that article almost made me snort coffee out of my nose. Nice work.

[Ed Cunard]

You mean anti-racist-babies, right? Because otherwise, I'm not in!

Well, you know how kids rebel.

[Ed Cunard]

Oh baby.

Man the ramparts, sir.

The Irish have set down their Guinesses and are mobilizing to attack as we speak.

We will know them by their stumbling gait.

[Joe Rice]

Oh baby.

Man the ramparts, sir.

The Irish have set down their Guinesses and are mobilizing to attack as we speak.

I'll just have to avoid pubs that they could bomb for a few days.

Uh oh.

[Joe Rice]

Ow, my political correctness!

Seriously though, that article almost made me snort coffee out of my nose. Nice work.

Thanks! GLad you enjoyed it!

[Joe Rice]

Well, you know how kids rebel.

NOT MINE.

We will know them by their stumbling gait.

And their aroma. And illiteracy. And inability to cogently form thoughts.

[Agent Helix]

Split infinitives are the zenith of racism.

[dingo]

The Jury is still out on whether Australians are too Irish to be considered human.

I'm not Irish.

I've never even been to Ire.

And besides which, we want no part in the human race.
Unless it is being held in a pool, cause we always win those races.

[Agent Helix]

Especially if you're told there's an unattended pocketbook at the other end of the pool.

HEYOOOOOOOO!

[Rob on the Job]

Uh-oh.

Here comes the mightiest Irish superhero of all time!

http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/img/Banshee.jpg

Prediction: Joe Rice takes him in about ten seconds.

[dingo]

Especially if you're told there's an unattended pocketbook at the other end of the pool.

HEYOOOOOOOO!

Is that a money thing or something?

Can it be used to buy beer?

[Agent Helix]

Nah, it's the old "All Australians are Criminals LOL" chestnut.

Unless you mean "what's a pocketbook". In that case, a pocketbook is a lady's purse.

[dingo]

Yes I meant what is a pocketbook.
It is not a term I am familiar with.
Sorry.

And yes, I did catch the whole Australian=Criminal and I added Australian=Beer Swilling, pot bellied, overly muscled, long blonde haired, tanned, beach going, could crush a keg on their forehead bunch of drunkards.

And that is just the women.

[Lone Ranger]

The Arabian Knight had a grandfather, and his name was Jon Juan.

He's trying he damndest to convince people that he's not gay with all of his fighting, loving and daring BUT those pants aren't helping, and neither is the fact that he waxes his chest.

It is a pretty interesting group of ladies gathering around him - Cleopatra, Pochahontas and Melanie Hamilton among others.

[Agent Helix]

You'll have to excuse me. It's early in the morning (relatively speaking), and a swarthy Frenchman just stole my wife. I'm not all there.

[Joe Rice]

Uh-oh.

Here comes the mightiest Irish superhero of all time!

All I have to do is throw some whiskey in a dangerous place and he'll fall in.

[Joe Rice]

The only people I've ever really seen dress that way were drag queens.

[StoneGold]

Sigh, I almost hate myself for this, but Bill Mantlo gave Bruce the abusive father, not PAD.

[Typo Lad]

And Bruce wasn't made Jewish

[StoneGold]

And Bruce wasn't made Jewish

Yeah, but you already covered that in another thread.

[Typo Lad]

Yeah, but you already covered that in another thread.
I will keep saying it until it sinks in!

[Michael P]

Cute.

For the real racistest superhero, though, I don't think you can beat the Black Bomber.

[StoneGold]

Does Ebony White count as a superhero?


And for the record, never do an image search on Ebony White. Very little Eisner.

[Joe Rice]

Cute.

For the real racistest superhero, though, I don't think you can beat the Black Bomber.

I actually do have a problem with Psylocke.

[Michael P]

I actually do have a problem with Psylocke.

I have *lots* of problems with Psylocke.

[Typo Lad]

I ignore Psylock's existance.

Claremont's too.

[Joe Rice]

I have *lots* of problems with Psylocke.

The way Claremont writes accents I'm surprised she isn't all, "Ohhhhh Cy-crops! You sooo powerfur! Ah so!"

[Typo Lad]

No, worse.

"Oh Cy-crops, you jorry good hero. Brillant!"

[Spackling Compound]

No, worse.

"Oh Cy-crops, you jorry good hero. Brillant!"

"Blirriant"....

What was the thinking behind Psylocke's transforming into an Asian (other than making a Rainbow Coalition of Xmen)? I mean, in the comics, what was the rationale...gamma rays? bitten by an Asian? An Asian flew in her window while she was pondering what would strike fear in criminals' hearts?

Mind switched with that of an Asian assassin by an extradimensional TV executive.

You know, perfectly logical.

Ohhhh..that. Yeah, in the 80's and 90's that was big deal but now it's all done same-day.

[Athena Bast]

Uh-oh.

Um... ain't Banshee Scottish?

[Michael P]

Um... ain't Banshee Scottish?

Nope. Irish. With a castle and leprechauns and everything.

[Joe Rice]

If he were a Scot he'd

A) have better powers
B) never have turned evil
C) not have died so dumbly (well-writtenly dumbly, mind you)
D) never let his niece be turned over to PAD.

He has a niece?


Oh, Syrin is his daughter.

[Michael P]

And he was brainwashed into turning evil. Not his fault.

[Joe Rice]

He has a niece?


Oh, Syrin is his daughter.

HA HA! NERD TRAP! Sprung!

[StoneGold]

HA HA! NERD TRAP! Sprung!

Did you not read either of the threads I started the other day?

[Joe Rice]

Did you not read either of the threads I started the other day?

You'll not trap me!

[Joe Rice]

And he was brainwashed into turning evil. Not his fault.

The Irish have weak "minds." A Scot would not have been brainwashed.

[Chris Nowlin]

I'm not convinced any characters have inherently racist depictions.

On any unrelated note, here's Brother Voodoo.

[maczero]

I'll see your Brother Voodoo and raise you.

Cockroach Hamilton (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/hamck.htm). I know he's a supervillian but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring back an old Luke Cage foe.

[niall mc cann]

And their aroma. And illiteracy. And inability to cogently form thoughts.

Hay! I cn from stff!

:mad:

[The Watcher]

Am I the only one who first thought the thread title was "Raciest Superheroes" and was slightly disappointed when it turned out not the case?

[Dizzy D]

Well duh! It involves "brains" and "washing", two things Scots avoid at all times.

Hod raises his hand.
