The truth about X-men

U know what I mean. eta:   I think that's why alot of POC love the X-Men. We know it for what it is. The only folks that had to be told this is most likely white folks.

True but I think had the story line gone the way of people having to out themselves as mutants...sign paperwork n'sh*t to get loans and "participate" in the system.. then it would have eventually turned to that. Nobody would want to live next to Mutants or have them in their neighborhoods and schools. What about the children?! What if my daughter comes home with one?!

Then when they get their own sh*t i'm sure "average citizens" would be mad that they are doing well and excelling then they'd drop a bomb on their sh*t. Think of Professor's school. They had to hide that sh*t. Those children were exceptional not only with their gifts but with their mind and thinking.

I refuse to think that is about gay people. No shade.
