“Not everyone was happy with [Captain America]. This may surprise some people, but before America entered World War II there was actually a strong pro-Nazi sentiment in the United States. So much so that Simon and Kirby [Cap’s creators] received death threats and mail disparaging them in their creation, not helped by the fact that the two were also Jewish.
In fact, a pro-Nazi group called ‘The German-American Bund’ once marched in front of Timely’s offices [one of Marvel Comics predecessors]...

Jefferson and Washing...

Quick reminders while the horrible events of the #ParisAttack are still unfolding… Be safe, my friends.

Reminder that no matter how freaked out you are, right now,“the Muslims” are not responsible for these attacks. This is a specific extremist group–one which many Muslims have had to flee from. Don’t let fear make you a monster. That’s how the extremists win.

Don’t let fear make you a monster is one of the most powerful sentences I have heard in my entire life.

“Native American Looking” Fantasy Protagonist, No Culture

writingwithcolor:

@thosedamndragons asked:

So basically,...
