I really dislike the way Monica seems to being handled in Marvel Divas. It's like she's the requisite 'sassy black chick who makes ironic quips about the stupid whities, which is fine, though, 'cause she's black, and black people say these things. Also, we're totally hip and down with it. Really.' I mean, for cryin' out loud, has she EVER been written like that prior to MD? I haven't read very much of her, I'll admit, but none of it has had her sound like this. It's preposterous. It's like Hudlin set in stone how a black character must now be written. Blech. And speaking as a white person - no, we did not cause Katrina. The Bush Administration caused Katrina - the disaster that it turned into, anyway - and simply calling them white people is an oversimplification of vast proportions. I mean, does the name Condoleeza Rice ring a bell? She's black, and she was definitely a member of the Bush Administration - and, oh yes, there were all those corrupt and lazy New Orleans politicos who couldn't be bothered to keep the levies in workable condition, and a whole host of other people who were involved in one way or another, SOME OF WHICH, I'M SURE, WERE NOT WHITE. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - racism is racism, no matter which way it goes. There are a hell of a lot of white people who have been and are continuing to be responsible for heinous acts, but point the finger at THEM, not the rest of us palefaces - and if you've GOT to point the finger at the race as a whole, point it at us for the things that we're actually guilty of.
