There’sa pretty great modern comic I got from the library: Superman Smashes the Klan. Tells a story about a Chinese family moving into Metropolis and getting marginalized, has some good hero moments as well as identity moments for Superman - who, of course, is not from America.
I’d really love it if we had more modern media that sets aside the “complex, humanized villains” trend and just has Nazis as villains to get decimated.
What’s really great about that comic is it’s a loose adaptation of a 1946 episode of the Adventures of Superman radio show called “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” wherein Superman also takes on the Klan.
Klan membership went down after the broadcast aired, partially because fathers couldn’t really explain to their kids why Superman wanted to fight the Klan.
It’s credited pretty heavily with weakening Klan membership at the time of release, and it’s on YouTube.
This is kinda unrelated, but you were mentioning some of the identity moments in the comic. I really appreciated how they did some similar commentary in the new movie as well and, since I had never seen those themes focused on in Superman, I did some research into the history of immigration commentary in Superman.
Anyway, that’s how I found out there’s an adaptation from the 1980s where the life pod carrying Superman actually just contains DNA which it then assembles into Superman, all so Superman can be an American-born citizen. The 80s were one of the decades of all time.
It’s credited pretty heavily with weakening the Klan
That’s interesting, because the Klan was fairly weak by the 40’s. It peaked in the 1920s (something like 1 in 3 white Indianans were members in its heyday, to the point where Klan chapters would have baseball teams), but there were some huge political scandals and infighting over embezzlement that absolutely demolished the Second Klan.
I suppose weakening Klan membership at the time of release would be more accurate, I’ll add it to the post
The second Klan was formally disbanded for tax reasons in 1944, a couple of years before The Clan of the Fiery Cross. I think the argument might be more that the Superman episode kept the Klan from rising again. It was already profoundly unpopular in the war era due to some connections with the American Bund.
I can’t get over the fact that there was a White Power Ranger.

All lives matter energy
And the blue one was gay, got a lot of hate from the other actors. Yellow one was Asian. 90s was weird man.
The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accident is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?
Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.
Pink one was cute 😍
She did some “erotic modeling” after the show that’s out there on the interwebs, if you’re interested.
Are you being purposely stupid?

Black ranger was part of the OG rangers. White ranger was a Johnny come lately hanger on. I thought this as a 13 year old kid when that season came out.
Wasn’t it just an American carbon copy of a Japanese show?
The footage of them in full face obscuring costumes, along with the mecha, is mostly straight from various Japanese shows, overdubbed into English. The US production company got Japan to shoot a little bit of extra content when Mighty Morphin Power Rangers became a smash hit, before they started rotating to other Japanese series to take footage from. You can make more money off of the toys, anyway, if you have new action figures and mechs every year.
Redubbed I think, at least in costumes.

What a terrible day to have eyes.
I barely know who he is, and what I do know is horrible, but that seems like an incredibly obvious joke
That is pretty funny XD

Yes because the answer to fascism is blue fascist rhetoric
If you put on the uniform of the fascists you deserve to get shot and that’s just good praxis.
The only thing the tolerant cannot tolerate is intolerance.
A: Itsa fuggina joke B: Its also true
Play stupid games win deadly prizes.
Notes the tankies getting triggered by liberal violence against klansmen.
Where? I’m out of the loop, but I would find that surprising.
And now he has a lifelong financial debt to a Wayne industries related hospital.
(Batman didn’t even hear him or see the salute, he just goes around at night doing that sort of thing.)
Unfortunately this is an alternate Batman, where Wayne Industries doesn’t exist.
Although…I would love to see an issue where this Bats just goes to town on the health insurance industry. I wouldn’t put it past them either if they were willing to publish this thinly veiled allegory for MAGA being Nazis.
That looks like a great reinterpretation of the character. Thanks for pointing this out!
Huh, a Joker billionaire by Scott Snyder?
This might be worth checking out, thx!!
In the absolute universe Darkseid takes away the hero’s “light”. Superman grows up without his adopted parents, wonder woman without the Amazon’s, and batman has no money. His mom is alive though.
I gotta read more comics …
The absolute series has been good from what I’ve read
Bro just wanted to share the stoke for the upcoming snowboarding season. What a shame.
POW!
I feel they really missed the opportunity to throw in the old school pow! bubble to cover the strike, of course making sure it’s all super white.
I agree.
Batman should beating up zionist too.
Green Lantern did it for him.
this goes hard. may i screenshot?
What are they gonna do if they say no and you do it anyway?
You can also just download the image.
This is Absolute Batman, just read it. 13 issues so far.

I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit.
Don’t claim some races are inferior to others, you are only encouraging them.
…what?
What do you mean “what”? I don’t think I could have been any clearer.
And if you meant to reply to the other comment, they meant to write horseshoe theory.
Nah, I think your brain is just defaulting to social concepts of race which is kind of ironic. It was confusing, but that seems to be the case after all.
But not enjoying the negative traits of my genetic composition and wishing I could substitute them with others is totally fine. If there was a race of humans with wings, you better fucking believe I find that a cool trait to have. They’d be ugly bat-like ones with skin and shit, but the benefits would be too good to pass up. If you want to acknowledge the social concepts of racial inferiority or superiority to the wings, or even subscribe such concepts, that’s all you. But, as you would note in my original comment, these sorts of ideas are silly to me.
And I know what horseshoe theory is. It’s mention makes absolutely no contextual sense, but it is highlighting where some people’s brains disturbingly wander off to. Won’t be dragging me along, though.
White people are great at getting rheumatoid arthritis too!
There are no biological races in humanity. Nothing that can be compared to dogs for instance. On top of that “white” as a biological marker to define a group makes as much sense as “tall” or “small hands”, ie: none.
We humans are pretty varied lot, people have wanted to create categories for ages and have done so, but those are social categories.
Yeah, like most everything, it’s a social concept.
On a biological level, dogs are all the same species. There’s obviously something beyond biology in terms of classification. And humans have whatever it is: you only need to watch an NBA game or a 100m Olympic final to see this in action.
I agree that most categories we put people into are artificial, but it’d be an error to say it’s all social.
I also think our species superpower is not our physical makeup. Our ability to work together and use our brains is what sets us apart from the other species on the planet, and on that front the playing field is level.
This guy internalised Advanced Race Theory.

I’d be very torn between Khajiit and Argonian.

I’m tempted to say something famous like the Indy 500, but I think I would be a simple 5K
Depends where I’d geographically end up. Whatever genetic traits benefit that the most and also what I want to do the most.
For starters, I’d be preferring more melanin, but I still like my northern EU frame for swimming. Hmmm…but I would like longer legs for running. Also more east asian hair for convenience.
Having Nordic height is convenient too, but the weight is rough when falling so African lakes region is good for that.
My spawn point is prob somewhere around the Pacific. Sailing and surfing will be my jam, so if I had to select a preset, probably Tongan sub if Polynesian, but I’d rather.customise.
I dunno, what would you pick?
If there’s a house shoe theory for eugenics, you’d be the poster child.
You are thinking about it way more than any white supremacist does
Thats why they are the way they are. They know the only way they keep the power is doing shady ass shit.
No. Most racists are not people in power, and having “inferior” white skin (not a downgrade, just a sidegrade for the combination of northern latitudes and agriculture) applies to a lot more people than just the racists.
The reason that they are the way they are, is that it’s an easy outlet for the anger caused by probably a myriad of reasons, some common, some more specific to the person in question. I’d be willing to bet that financial insecurity caused by neoliberalism is pretty high up on that list for many, and that’s why actually powerful people like to promote racism to divert the anger elsewhere.
White people are better at drinking milk and absorbing vitamin D.
Spending all day inside and sexually abusing cows, that’s what whiteness is good for.
nice racism.
Sorry, but it’s biological fact that pale skin aids vitamin D absorption and that the lactose tolerance gene originated in and is most common in Europe. White people have evolved adaptations to aid in the loser NEET lifestyle.
Sometimes I look at how my BPD has fucked up my life, and then I look at incomprehensible statements like this.
