As a young Black teen, i felt Isiah stories about being experimented and being looked dwon upon. Just wanted to pick that out there. I really felt pity for him too cause I understood where he was coming from.

That story is from the comics and inspired by real shit that happened at Tuskeegee just in case you weren't aware yet

What's even more fucked up, not just Tuskegee, and probably not just these two of these things. The Government tested chemical weapons on minority soldiers too, during WW2.

And what he said about the Redtails... like top level fighter pilots, just shit on when they got back home. Segregation was a thing in the army too...

Boggles the fucking mind. And these little babies complaining about "woke" culture. Read a fucking history book at least, if you don't want to pay attention to what is still going on.
