The black community wants to buy things and want to see themselves portrayed in a certain way. And if they don't like what they see, then they won't spend their money. Everyone's not gonna always relate to Captain America; everyone is not going to always relate to Thor. A lot of characters just don't speak to them.

Not being white has never prevented me from enjoying Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. These are heroes of mine.
