The X-Men movie pissed me off. Why are they still killing off the black person/man 1st?
So I went to the movies to see X-Men First Class today. It’s apparent that we as black people are supposed to feel like the inferior race. White people get to be the sexy super heroes and the blacks…. we just get to be lucky to be in the movie. I remember when I was little, the black man was the first and only super hero to die in the movie. I’m a grown woman now and the movies still go just like that. The black man had to be the first to go in the movie. 
There were two super sexy ladies in the movie. One black and one white. Of course the black girl had to be super light almost white and they had her working at the strip club. She was also the first to switch to the bad side. 
Why does the black girl have to be a stripper? Thank goodness they didn’t make her a stereotypical one with a big bootie. May as well had of… But obviously in the movie they made the white lady sexy without objectifying her. She got to make the old man hallucinate that he was actually touching her. But still they could of made her something other than a stripper.
I’m sure someone other than me has to see the subliminal tactics in this movie. Some are going to say they had Will Smith and Halle Berry. Yes, they will give us those two. They always throw us a few bones.
Anyway, before I go off on a rant, I’ll just stop here. Other than upsetting me with cliche things the X-Men First class movie was pretty awesome. I won’t give it a bad review just because of the cliche things. It kept me thoroughly entertained.

they didn't kill him off, darwin's power is reactive evolution. more than likely her converted himself into pure energy. it was never confirmed that he died, that was mystique's assumption.
Whatever yeah the kids mother did die first but not nearly as fucked up and dramatic as the brotha did. And oh yeah…when asked whats his power he says….well I blend in to survive….wtf is that smh
And Eric’s mom died because the movie started in Auschwitz. There was nothing but Jewish people, so there was no distinguishing. In that particular scene, you saw 3 different archetypes of white personalities. Not so with Black characters in mainstream films.
The stripper(Angel) is Zoe Kravitz (Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet’s daughter). She’s light enough that she can, “pass,” as whatever they want her to be. The red guy is German(he’s Nightcrawler’s father. Stupidest thing is that Darwin’s power preclude him from being killed, period. Black characters always die nobly in movies. So what? So do dogs. We’re either the cheerful wise harmless old hoojoo kook(The legend of Bagger Vance, Song of the South, The Matrix) oversexed buffoonish lothario(Mike & Molly, Final Destination 3), or just overly emotional cowards(Eight Legged Freaks, Final Destination 2). Most cases, the character is just made white(Terry Fitzgerald in “Spawn”). Either way, with rare exceptions, Black is still seen as either the primary character trait or a liability in film.
For god's sakes, Eric's mum get's smoked way before the black mutant, who by the way, didn't the stereotypical dodgy character, but actually stuck to his guns and tried to beat the bad guys when some of the others were hesitating… The demon fellow also drops a few whities from the sky before the black guy ate his bomb, because as we all know, black people are hungry and that's why he was fed the bomb…
Kissy, you know I love you, but I'm going to have to disagree! I wrote up an article on my blog about how another news outlet called this racist, and how that's wrong. Not that you said that, but yeah. If you want to check it out, it's published on Viewshound now.

Completely disagree…. This movie does NOT speak in social commentary of the era it presents. Your opinion of X-Men First Class is like Munich or Schindler's List not saying a single solitary insulting word about Nazi's or Germany in general. Shaw in this movie warns all of them collectively with a passing "enslaved" directing only at Darwin. This film is a set in pre-Civil Rights era which makes ANY African-American a SECOND class citizen in a movie called X-Men FIRST CLASS. You do realize they cut Storm's chastizing speech from X3 right? This was truly a FOX film.
It bothered me that the black guy was eliminated like that as well! And I am white! What is wrong with diversity??! I wasn't aware that the stripper was black, she looks white maybe latino to me. If she is black then no more than 1/4 I would guess.
I don't agree that the blonde telepath was sexy at all. She is so skinny she looks disgusting. No ass, no leg . . . she looks anorexic. The girl playing Mystique actually was pretty cute. Anyway . . .
you need glasses,they killed off several white people in the movie before they killed off 1 black guy,,open your eyes and mind instead of rascism

I read alot of the comments, and I must say good commentary, but you gotta remember superheroes really dont die, thats the wonderful thing about fiction. and why are yall complaining about such a minute call to detail, there are so many "black" characters in the marvel universe its kind of ridiculous, Look at Black Panther he is kind of a Big deal in the marvel universe dont nothing go down with out him knowing about it. Storm his wife. the first captain america was black or should I say the prototype or progenitor of the super soldier program Isiah Bradley, the story goes into the Tuskegee experiment. To really be complaining about this shows a big mental block that some of you have, it goes deeper the movies!
THAT’S WHY WHEN IM IN QUESTION ON THE WORTH OF A MOVIE, I GO & GET A BOOTLEG COPY, B CUZ IT’S TO MUCH MONEY IN CHI THEATERS TOO BE GIVING THEM FOR A BUMP MOVIE!!! SO I SUPPORT MY BOOTLEGGER HUSTLE ~~~~~~~~~
@DuClair, i DO N0T watch 0scars nem0 bcause of th0se XCACT 2 reas0nz! Denzel waz snubd 2WICE for MALCOLM X & GL0RY rolez..bt they gav him 1 fa playn a cr00ked azz c0p bt nt fa 2 American Hist0ry r0lez! same nite mkn Ms Halle tha 1st Blk w0man 2 win eva, 4 her r0le n a s0ft p0rn of a cr00kd pris0n system m0vie! yes HollyHood doez hv a ‘pattern’…
I can see your point! Just like the spartan HBO show has a character by the name Hannibal as a slave who is also gay. In real life he would never have accepted slavery, and wasn’t gay. In fact, he conquered Italy with elephants and would kick euro ass all over their continent…hollywood is notorious with putting Black folk in a bad light. The worse we act(if we aren’t killed)the more accolades we receive. For instance, Halle Berry had to sex a white dude convincingly for an oscar, while Denzel had to be the core antithesis of every character he has ever played to get his oscar. I concur with you. Things haven’t changed. It got more devious.
yeah they was supposed to do 2 Hannibal of Carthage movies one with Denzel and the other with Vin Diesel, but people are complaining too much that both are "too dark", which is crazy because the Romans were darker then Vin Diesel so you could imagine the color that the Carthaginians were. who knows when they gonna drop this Movie I think Ving Rhames would be a perfect fit for Hannibal. that would really piss them off.
Kissy,my lady said the same thing when that happened. Kids don’t catch on,but we do. I really think that he would have proved to be a powerful character,but they bumped him off. Typical.
Haven’t watched x-men in a while but I thought storm was black lol
this would be like a war movie…where they shot their own men…
They’ll be able to say, “hey! At least we put a darkie in the movie! Somethings better than nothing right?” Smh.
Haven’t seen it but i don’t think it’s a BFD! Sorry it’s just a movie!
Just like when al gore helped G Bush STEAL the presidency – any brotha or sista that accepts a movie or tv role that has them being killed of in the begging of the thing- HOW CAN THEY BE RESPECTED?
A moment of weakness – A lifetime of pain!!!!!!
If we stop walking into beasts mouth he’ll stop devouring us.
In the real world they feel like there is to many people need population decreased no room 4 u kno who……..dont kno about movie
Na dats nt true its just a fiction movie dnt mix wid politics it suckx
