Here I sit, I am indeed forging forward with my static shock project. It's a labor of love. You have to understand who I am and where I come from. I'm a nerd all my life, super hero fanatic, and when WB put on the static show I was infinitely attracted to the show and watched it religiously. I didn't think it was that great a show but I never missed an episode, I hoped the show would get better and actually put up a bit of a fight against Batman Beyond and of course the old Batman TAS show. It ultimately was at it start a mediocre show and ended as such, but it truly was the last of its kind. They simply are not making shows like Static Shock anymore. A show about a black superhero that's actually fucking good and not a complete insult to blacks. There's nothing of the sort on tv these days. I'm not crying like a little pussy about oh white people are keeping blacks down, that's hardly the case, it's just that there simply seems to me to be a weird lack of blacks on tv this day and age when I come from my childhood seeing blacks everywhere in everything doing everything under the blue sky. Now I don't see blacks anywhere, and what the fuck is that about? There's very smart good black people in this world, put them on tv give them something... don't just say, Nah, only whites should be doing stuff. We're supposed to be beyond that way of thinking...
Am I right?
I mean, yeah I get it. Black people are like 90% shitheads in this world. I'm not stupid about that. But that should' not mean that TV reflects that view point, even to the point of there being no black cartoons for kids to watch at all these days.
Well I'm going to finish my project and put up a really badass trailer on youtube for anyone who's interested. All 5 of you out there.
