" If you are looking for persons who are not overtly ethnically biased you are in the wrong place. In my epxerience here on the vine comic book readers and those in every aspect of the industry, are, for the most part, some of the most biased, discriminatory, and I dare say bigoted, human beings. "
em that comment in its self is bigoted "
No, that comment is not in itself bigoted, as I am not obstinately or intolerently devoted to this opinion. I would dearly love to be proven wrong and am open-minded and hopeful that I someday will be. Nor do I hold any hatred or intolerance in my heart for said groups, only disappointment. "
Truth.......

Sometimes the reactions remind me of those town hall meetings that were held around the country right after Obama got elected. "I WANT MY COMICS BACK!!!!" The answer to both responses is, it's ours as well.But, were dealing with the subjective here. What offends me may not offend you and vice verse. What you find empowering, I might find demeaning. "

And one more thing: Can anyone truly be objective when it comes to race? Does not having love for your own community with regards to ethnicity and culture make you somewhat biased?

I was coherent, you just cannot comprehend and you're a bigot. Weaponmaster is a bigot as well.

It wasn't directly aimed toward you, and it also wasn't an attack, just a serious question: Can we truly detach our selves from whatever community we identify with? Should we?

Ah. Got ya.
We need to see all communities as "our communities", all people as "our people". The divisive mindsets are the very things that are destroying us all both figuratively and literally in many cases. We are all Homosapiens. One human race. Our pigment differences are simply adaptations to varying exposures to UV rays subsequent to migrating from sub-saharan africa.
