Check out the comments...<br /><br />1."Just because you're black doesn't mean other blacks have to support..."<br /> <br />2."The Black race is not responsible for your individual failures or successes..."<br /><br />Is there any wonder Blacks are at the bottom ?? Only they would make such ridiculous comments and then get offended when you point it out. The simple fact is both of those comments are exactly wrong and the exact opposite should be true.<br /><br />1. Just because you are Black, other Blacks should support - every other successful ethnic group operate on exactly this principle.<br /><br />2.The group is responsible for helping the success of it individuals - assuming the individual is trying to be productive.<br /><br />You are right Shawn. Many Negroes are still psychologically enslaved.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-36838179605482797332014-05-12T15:32:49.771-07:002014-05-12T15:32:49.771-07:00Why can't you get it thru your head.

Hustling is the same as pushing, hustling is the same as stripping, hustling is the same as standing on the corner for whatever reason to make your money. Hustling, however, is not gainful employment. How does pointing out that you don't have employment reinforce your point about Group Economics? The Black race is not responsible for your individual failures or successes. Very few people of any race, creed or ethnic group supported your campaign. Get a grip on reality!!! Economics 102 states that if no one is buying your product, even after it has so called been improved, then you need to take the product off the marketAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-63718112459208912612014-05-10T19:42:31.489-07:002014-05-10T19:42:31.489-07:00I only get paid minimum wage.

So I can only afford to donate in payments, as an mixed african american Myself, I understand how hard it is to find a job to support yourself financially. I had to move to another state to finally get employment. After doing research on the movie industry, reading your blog and imdb and looking at the careers And the type of roles african american entertainers get. I understand why you want to create better images. These bad images impact how others view african americans and that affects when applying and getting a job. It makes it harder to work, not everybody is lazy.breenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-69096024524839334842014-05-10T19:14:12.427-07:002014-05-10T19:14:12.427-07:00I don't always agree with your blog post, esp...I don't always agree with your blog post, especially your horrid views on single mothers.

Not everyone will like what you have to offer. Maybe it's time to do some popular stories for the short term and leave your passion projects for the long term. You keep doing the same thing and have very little sales for it. Free downloads are not sales or a show of interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-46872106436977303612014-05-07T16:59:33.091-07:002014-05-07T16:59:33.091-07:00I think he means he is writing books with Black ch...I think he means he is writing books with Black characters, or Black protagonists/antangonists, and because Blavk folks are not supporting him, I guess that means he will write books that feature white people.

They had a beginning, middle and end however Icon, Static & Hardware ended before those issues (which became Milestone Forever)were made.<br />And Milestone wasn't meant for just blacks but everybody who wanted to read them.<br />The reason why McDuffie got more attention via cartoon is because cartoon were accessible to EVERYBODY. <br />For many to get a comic book you have to hunt down a comic book store or book store and just how many book stores are in the hood? Also I don't remember seeing Milestone books in black bookstores.<br />Here is some advice stop trying to only attract blacks. write YOUR story and let who wants to read it read it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121130217304877410.post-41320348691642349382014-05-07T05:06:39.651-07:002014-05-07T05:06:39.651-07:00Ad, That's my plan.

Businesses follow money.<br /><br />I finally understand how the late Dwayne McDuffie probably felt after Milestone published its last issue. He invested in Black readers and got nothing from them. It's only when he went to writing Justice League and JLU did people see how great he was.
