When was the last time you've seen Blade or Black Panther, or Luke Cage, or Bishop or War Machine...(although last I heard there was like nothing left of Jim Rhodes inside the suit) in anything? its like the real black heroes are being buried, and black versions of Flagship heroes are being poorly written in. it makes no sense to me, personally if they did some good bade stuff, or a Heroes for Hire re-launch, I'd be a Marvel reader again for sure.

Bishop was an important part of the X-Force run before this last one (Storm was, too), and Blade and Luke were in Mighty Avengers (I think that entire team was black except Shulkie and Spidey).

The whole Captain Falcon situation had a problem of its own, in the media at least with every jag-off blogger that reported "Captain America is black now" instead of "Falcon is Captain America now". Pissed me off that this character who had been around for 40 years was being disregarded as a character in his own right who happened to be a successor to the mantle and was just "a black guy" (plus it made it sound like Steve was changing races). Especially since I grew up reading "Captain America and The Falcon" so to me, Sam becoming Cap made more sense than Bucky.
