I wonder if they know that Sam Wilson became Captain America in the comics years ago when Steve Rodgers retired.

I hate "wokism" and can say the racial issues are being handled very well in this show. People being offended are looking to be offended.
I agree. People in this thread are looking to be offended. It's a shitty click bait article that way oversells the racial aspect of the show.

Isaiah Bradley has every reason to be embittered and hateful to "that white man's shield" because of his life experience IN THE SHOW.
Sam recognizes that and understands it, but doesn't relate to it because that hasn't been HIS experience as a much younger black man. He makes it abundantly clear he isn't going to let Bradley influence what he does or how he thinks.

Marvel isn't pushing anti-white extremism. If that's your perception, that's your issue.
Correct, they're not just limiting their extremism to the white demographic.
Go ahead, try and find a similar situation. Try and find someone Marvel is calling a Nazi/Hitler 40 or 50 years ago who's a best selling author whose opinions are shared by roughly half the country.
While you're at it, go ahead and try and find Marvel using a a similar tactic on a Republican or Democrat presidential nomination. Trump's mostly running on a secure the borders campaign? Let's paint anyone who agrees as a neo-Nazi...

...and the current story is about how much it means to be that symbol.
I tuned in just to see how bad it would be, and managed to half way (was doing a bit of paperwork as well) watch two episodes. It's cringy AF. In the first episode we see a white bank manager declining a loan to Sam Wilson (The Falcon). The next episode a white police officer harasses Sam but completely ignores the white guy with him (Bucky - the Winter Soldier).

Why does it make you uncomfortable when someone of a different race plays the part?
Good question to ask, as that's exactly what caused these changes in the first place.

the racist legacy of Captain America... it doesn't exist.
The writer(s) at Disney MCU & who ever wrote this article...
These are people who have zero interest in the characters, but who just want to interject their SJW agenda into EVERYTHING.

Adolf Hitler?

That comic books have become some leading medium for social enlightenment is telling to just how intensely f’d up this country has become.
Screw Disney and their underoos brigade. If you’re still consuming that trash, you deserve to be offended.

Yeah, just wanted to make the point that he was a best selling author and more than half to population agreed with his politics, which apparently has never served as any kind of shield from comic books.

Great point. But yea, the gas light isn't dim. We're just imagining it.

Yes. They gobble it up unfortunately. It used to be subculture but has become mainstream.
I’ve never experienced so much racial agitating in all my life as I’ve had beginning with “a fundamental change.”

I got you, but the comparison to Hitler/Nazis would be meaningless unless there was a proto-Nazi/Founder that you could point to.
That's partially the reason I specified "40 to 50 years ago".

I politely disagree. Hitler is the perfect example of someone who is wildly popular, widely read, and highly successful, yet still smeared by the culture machine that is the press, academia, and comic books. This started well before the war, and continued well after the war.
There is absolutely nothing new about popular people being deconstructed by the culture machine. It's what they do, often decades, or even centuries after the death of that person. In fact, many of the outlandish, provably false things that people believe about Hitler were only ever published in comic books. Think about that.
You might be conditioned to believe that this could only happen to person that's "truly evil", but you'd be wrong. The culture machine that is the media has its own agenda. Case in point, we only ever see the media talk about Hitler, but never Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, or anything remotely related to the mass murder of Christians by Bolshevik revolutionary forces in Eastern Europe. Why?
