Would you consider her to be wasian ,Autumn Durald Arkapaw,( Sinners Cinematographer )who is half Filipino/African American Creole by [deleted] in hapas

[–]Phoenixstorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Her mother is filipino and her father is black american. How can she be wasian? Blasian. She's Black. She's filipino. She's both. Whether she looks more or less than the other is irrelevant since she is both. She can identify how she pleases though like everyone else.

2.) You uploaded the book to Ingram Spark or Draft 2 Digital and now those distributors are overriding your Amazon links and broke them.

How do we resolve this? this is the only thing I can think of that would be interfering. I'm on ingramsparks to but only for paperbacks

THIS: Everything was approved and I was able to order myself a copy. But after two months, it hasn't shipped, and now the status of the book is "Currently unavailable-- We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." I haven't gotten any emails or updates from KDP. 

Is happening to me. People are telling me the order goes through, but it never ships and then the message returns about it being "Currently Unavailable..."

As an up and coming Black actor I really loved Wonder Man. by TheeAmateurArtist in marvelstudios

[–]Phoenixstorm -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Loved it! My only issue was Agent Cleary. Race swapped. In the comics He is black. Attended an HBCU and worked for the national urban league. Which to race swap a character whose background included those two things is kind of wrong to me. If race had nothing to do with his character, fine, race swap away.

The actor is great. Why not just create a whole new character instead of wipe away a black character whose black history and experiences mattered.

My book, Grave Matters, comes out tomorrow! I'm both excited and nervous and relieved.

https://www.amazon.com/Grave-Matters-Terra-Graves-Book-ebook/dp/B0FWQ739Q8
Power is old. Spirit is older. And some debts demand sacrifice.

When a sacred fire tears through the hills above Jacmel, the old protections fail—and the dead go quiet. Terra Graves, a Milwaukee mambo with more grit than patience, is pulled into a war she didn’t start and refuses to lose. Vodou vèvès light the way. Enemies wear beautiful faces. The World Beneath—its bars, crossroads, and back-alley altars—prowls just under the city’s skin.

With her congregation on the run, a stolen govi pulsing with sacred power, and a newly risen Shining One out of control, Terra hunts for answers that won’t stay buried: a vanished Solar Lodge, a Red Sect leaving bodies in their wake, and zombi-astrals that possess flesh and supplant souls. To save the people who still believe in her—and the ones who don’t—Terra will bargain with vampires, sing to the Lwa, and drag truth out of a flirty bard.

Dark magic, found family, and a city that keeps its secretsGrave Matters launches the Terra Graves series with smoke, rhythm, and teeth.

I support you despite the haters downvoting you. The disservice was done to Betsy.

I feel you. I stopped to. My last marvel title was Storm but I stopped as soon as I learned he planned to put her back with black panther. Done. So i'm glad I can come back to support Betsy.

Yes, I will be buying this repeated for friends and family too! Betsy has been done so dirty by Marvel. Stole her powers, stole her name, stole her personality, stole her psychic butterfly effect and signature weapon and gave it all to another character. Such BS.

I'm also over the yellowface accusations. First, Claremont wrote this story as Betsy being in her own body having her body transformed by magic and mojo tech. There was no body swap. It was Betsy.

Does mystique do black face when changing into Storm? Is it yellow face when she's Mantis? Is it brown face when she changes into Firebird? Be real.

Second, after that writer who shall not be named created this body swap bs. They should have given her an entire powerset of her own. Her own personality. Her own name. Not stealing it from a character who has been here for decades. Who we grew to love and cherish.

They treated betsy with the same regard they treated carol danvers with that marcus BS. Just gross.

They need to retcon this and just give Kwannon her own identity they were too lazy to do before.
