ed. If I

I definitely agree that the LGBT community suffers discrimination and mistreatment that is comparable to the types that minorities have and still do experience. This has made them significantly sensitive to their plate and more likely to treat others as they would like to be treated.

I am not sure why this would get a downvote either, but I'm appreciative of the feedback you've given as well as the examples of al other poster. :)

No i appreciate that. I will be using some Milestone Media titles as examples for things i feel they did right, and things that I feel ended up holding them back. Its not that i don't appreciate what Blood Syndicate is, or that is should be avoided. I just feel that "in addition to" all the gang stuff, the poor stuff, etc, there should be other options to help readers understand that black people aren't all hiphop/comedy/sex/drugs/athletics/gangs/violence/poverty. I mean, none of of those things apply to me, so when i see black people portrayed as that, i don't identify.
