Just going to say up front this article is not 'for' white people. White People always want a black person to "prove" racism is going on. Yet in spite of proof, evidence presented, white people default to Denying racism is happening. So I'm uncaring if a white person reads this, and says 'Hey that's not racism!" -- because that is white people's default position.
Their thoughts on these matters, are rarely rooted in Honesty. Usually they are always defensive. They feel if they admit racism exists in white culture, that it might mean they are racist too. White people want others to think well of them, and only see their good habits. This is why humanity is suffering as a whole. White people have made hate, acceptable.
So I'm in an Agents of Shield Group on Facebook; Those of you not following Marvel films may not realize Thanos just wiped out half the universe. The tv show, is connected to the films. All season 5, they've been trying to stop a future that they saw first hand. In that future the earth has been cracked in half. The people in the future have been taught that Shield caused the problem.
Shield was sent to the future, saw the after effects, and made it back to the present. However they seem to be repeating a lot of the same mistakes that led them TO That future. It's been a great 5 seasons, and this fifth one has been especially good. Meanwhile, 'fans of the show' have a problem with Mack.
Mack is the ONLY black member on the team
Naturally none of them are saying Mack annoys them 'because he's black'. Instead they are finding all sorts of reasons, that are not reasons, to dislike this character. Naturally it's because he's black.
2 shows back, Fitz was locked up after operating on Daisy without her permission. Daisy, leaves Mack in charge, but his girlfriend Yo-Yo who's had her arms chopped off decided to team up with Fitz' girlfriend. Together they fooled Mack, broke Fitz out of Jail; and locked Mack Up.
Then they went on a mission that results in Yo-Yo murdering a Child.
Mack, is still pissed about eveything 2 shows later; and the 'fans' are mad at MACK!!
One of the fans, stated this --
as an atheist his religion bothers me, sure he is a nice guy but lets face it ruby was too dangerous to live, yoyo was right
Yea right, she's bothered that Mack found religion? Saying Yo-Yo was right is also ridiculous for anyone who's watched the season. Perhaps, had she told the team what future Yo-Yo told her, they'd all be approaching things differently right now. But her actions, more than anyone else, have put the team on a path to destruction, just like before.
I had to remind that person of the following:
yo-yo may not have been right though; as they are still on the same course they were on before; perhaps if she had listened to Mack, they never go to 'stop' Ruby; they never kill ruby; Hale never goes back to the Aliens; who never come to the lighthouse with those monster people; and that never pushes Talbot to get in the Machine to 'fix' things; who then never turns into Graviton; who then never meets with the Aliens, and Casius father; who ends up getting his hands on Daisy b/c they went to Rescue Coulson .............. all because YoYo didn't listen to Mack.
.... another white person in the group said "He’s always been annoying to me Really wish they’d get rid of him and yo-yo." - Mind you, Yo-Yo is the only Hispanic member of the team right now. So just what are these people's problems with the ONLY black and ONLY brown team members?
It's obvious to me. But don't bother with asking white people to point it out. They won't. That is why I am here .... I wanna just call them all racists and be done with it. But, i know white people all too well. They'll argue that they're not racist for the next 7 months, and flag me out of the group for speaking truth.
Just how white people are .... unfortunately.
