Trying Not To Think About…..

…. “The Amazing Spider-Man,” but it’s not working. 🙂

And, In Obvious News,……. :)

Been enjoying watching online the first season of “Green Lantern: The Animated Series.” I was very happy to see this character animated.

….the next “Avengers” movie better have the Black Panther in it! I mean, he is all over the cartoon, as seen below. Note the obvious differences between these two Marvel productions. 🙂 Glad to find out BET finally aired this six-part miniseries last November. It had been slow-rolling on this for quite a while. The below airs around the world and in America on Disney XD.

Pretty great. Amen. 🙂

Now, the below I finally watched today, since I’ve been hearing about it for YEARS…. 😉

I’ve never heard or seen all of the the famous “Black Athena Debate” from 1996, so putting that to the side……

Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters, Lerone Bennett Jr. I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed a historical discussion so much. Real debate! Real audience comments! (And where was this happily stereotypical Harlem audience during the Malcolm X-Manning Marable discussion?!? LOL! 🙂 ) And why won’t C-SPAN allow embedding of this fantastic 2000 discussion?

Twenty years ago this coming Labor Day I came to Maryland to try to become a serious student of history. Thousands of hours of goofing off later :), I’m very inspired by this. (As my anniversary approaches, Bennett keeps coming back into my head.) Time to go back and read those Ebony “encyclopedias” Bennett (clearly) wrote and edited.

The respectful review that Bennett thanked Foner for is here.

……. “Iron Man 3?” It is? Okay :), but here’s a picture of the Iron Patriot, so it looks like some version of him will be in this flick.

…but I think I’m going to have to see this this weekend! LOL! 🙂 My excuse is that Thor and Charlize Theron are in it. 🙂
