Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that this year marks the 20th anniversary of a black actor portraying a Marvel superhero in a big budget studio film? \u00a0No, I am not writing about Black Panther from the future. No, you have not Rip Van Winkle\u2019d to the year 2038. The truth is that this is the 20th anniversary of Blade, a $45 million Marvel superhero movie distributed by New Line (which was part of Time-Warner) that starred Wesley Snipes, a black man.<\/em><\/h2>\n

Blade was also a hit in 1998, going on to gross $131 million. Two sequels soon followed. Blade II<\/a> arrived in 2002 with a $54 million budget and a $155 million gross. Oh, and Blade II was not directed by a white guy, but by Guillermo del Toro, who is Mexican, so\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to the 16th anniversary of a black man starring as a Marvel superhero in a big budget studio film directed by a member of a racial minority. Two years later, the Blade franchise sadly came to an end with Blade: Trinity<\/a> \u2014 a $65 million flick that grossed a disappointing $129 million. But everyone pretty much agrees it was ruined by a white guy \u2014 Ryan Reynolds.<\/em><\/p>\n

How can this be, you might ask? How can this specific racial milestone be 20-years-old when we are celebrating 2018\u2019s Black Panther as a milestone, as the first big budget studio film with a black actor portraying a Marvel superhero?<\/em><\/p>\n

Is it all lies?\u00a0 Is it all a hustle? Is it all politics? Is it all BS?<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes \u2014 yes, it is.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is also an indication of just how much race relations regressed during the toxic Obama years.<\/em><\/p>\n
