Things to consider

TV/Movies, Comic books, online shows/movies or just life in general, there are many things that you the reader may not consider when you are living life off/online.

I thought that I should share some of my thoughts that you reader may or may not have stopped to think about.

Here are some of my thoughts and please, don't race to conclusions.

Interracial marriage and families

While I am not opposed to white folk being married and having kids with African-Americans, I am however tired of the repetitive use of it in popular culture.

I mean I get it "Black Lives Matter" but that doesn't mean that you have to be more than just friends with Black people, you just aren't supposed to be assholes towards people who aren't white.

What about white people who want to be in relationships with Latino's, Asians, Native Americans or Pacific Islanders?

Would there please be more interracial relationships between Caucasians and non-black people in popular culture?

Blacks playing Whites

Notice something from this crappy film of 2015? Johnny Storm is played by a black guy.

While I do not hate Michael B. Jordan, I have grown from being indifferent of African-Americans playing white people to just plain damn tired of seeing it.

The Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie featured Black Canary being played by an African-American woman and the upcoming Batman film features Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman.

Again, not having a problem with this. There was a time when black people playing certain roles was a real breakthrough (Nichelle Nicholas the original Uhura and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman in Adam West's Batman) was a major game-changer. But that was then, nowadays it seems repetitive that black people are portraying whites.

I mean, what's up with that? There are enough Black characters in fiction (Blade, T'Challa, Black Lighting and Bronze Tiger are my favorites). So why not focus more on characters who have been Black from the very beginning?

Not all Christians are Catholic

I know the Catholic Church is the oldest and the largest Christian faith, but come on popular culture, not all of us are Catholics.

I was brought up a Lutheran and my family has friends that are Baptist, and in the TV series King of the Hill they are Methodist, so why not have people who are not of the Catholic faith in TV/movies?

I am well aware that some places are mostly Catholic like the Latin American countries and that there has been controversy, but I am not advocating an attack on the Catholic faith.

I am advocating recognition of and acknowledgment of other Christian denominations.

Provoker vs Provoked

Who do you think is looking to start trouble in this picture? Many would say the protestors to the right instead of the fascists to the left. But that's just my opinion.

Better yet, ask you self this:

If someone gives one hard time so much and for so long then they get punched them out, why is the one who threw the punch given the hard time instead of the person who provoked it?

This is a problem for people who are out on parole. They physically assault someone and it doesn't seem to matter why they did it, because it's a violation of their "parole" and they go back to prison.

Does it ever occur to people that maybe it was a case of self-defense? that the person out on parole had some issues with anger that landed him/her in prison and couldn't stand being bullied?

Society continues to devolve into sub-humans with they're unwillingness to give people with records a second chance, when they aren't punishing people for being foolish.

I don't punch people out because I want to be the bigger man, plus, I am a fitness nut and martial artist. I am afraid of killing or seriously damaging people with my blows.

I am not advocating people's right to be violent. I am condemning people who use sleazy tactics to get other people in trouble.

"Manliness"

Bunch of pussies with dicks in their hands pretending to play soldier, right?

Same could be said of "men" who justify raping women and children, who are too stubborn to ask for directions, who refuses to learn how to cook or do chores, thinking that dancing is gay, or committing physical abuse against their wives and children.

When it comes to crap like this, it's a real facepalm moment for me.

My definition of manliness is defined by my willingness to get up off my butt and get shit done. Physical fitness, manual labor, chores, martial arts, and cooking delicious food is my definition of being manly.

Treating women as people is not what I call Manliness, but I see that as being a decent human being or being a gentleman.

After all, why should women go for men who behave like Donald J. Trump rather than someone like Barack Obama?
