"The Blackening"-- a phenomenon that occurs in popular culture where traditionally white-identified heroes have their race changed to Black. It's been a popular way to diversify old properties for decades... but how do we feel about the practice?

During this episode, the panel discusses the positives and negatives of making well-known characters Black where they had not before. We talk about how it works in practice (Nick Fury) and hypothetical Blackenings that would intrigue us (Batman). We also get into why original works would be the preferable way to go. 

Whether you hate it or love it, I think we can all agree that it makes racists mad and isn't that just delightful? If they put a cape on, then they can even be "Supa" Mad! Thanks to Rich for that one.

Jump on in! (Oh, and DM us for shirt inquiries).
