[edit] Almost Black Superhoroes

Weren't there supposed to be black superhoroes that were instead made white because of the time period these characters came into existence. I'm thinking of Captain America which recently published a series on the initial experimentation on blacks to discover the correct formula to create the desired outcome. --Mitchumch 12:54, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discrimination

I honestly think the title of this list could be interpreted as discriminating.

I don't agree, but for the sake of discussion, what would you propose instead? Sparkleiya 23:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bon comics.

What the hell are they? It's a useless section on a poorly made page with a non pc title.

Frankly this page blows.--Simondrake 21:02, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else but me think that the phrase "African Americans constantly seek validation" is a little offensive? I think that should be reworked somehow to make it less inflammatory. Maybe "African Americans frequently seek outlets of self-expression in the mainstream entertainment industry." Something like that, instead, that won't make people mad. Cee

[edit] Serves a purpose

It just needs a little work, I'll add it to my list. I think it needs a name change to "Black superheroes in comics" --Basique 12:11, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of Black Superheroes

We may need to break the page into two sections one on history and one strictly the list. While editing I'm seeing a warning about page length. --Basique 18:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] READ!!

Please read the page thoroughly before you add an entry, chances are it's already there, i'm finding way too many dupes on here. --Basique 23:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super or Not Super?

A lot of the characters under the TV section may be a bit questionable to call "superheroes". Does being in G.I. Joe automatically get them on the list? As for Josie and The Pussycats...or Mr. T...well... --- Noclevername 15:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
