Annoying.
I went to refresh my memory on the estimated number of Americans per proportion of the population that owned slaves. Found a page that challenged the “claim.” Between 1.4 and 1.6% of the population owned slaves.
That also includes non-white groups that owned slaves. Some black families famoulsy owning slaves. Native Amercians, also, owned slaves.
So 1.4% of the entire country owning slaves, limited to where it was legal, in 1860.  And as many as 5% in the southern states. So..
Pretty sure it’s safe to say that the institution of slavery in the United States was primarily for the well-to-dos and already wealthy. The vast majority of Americans never owned a slave, nor wanted to.
“But that’s not true! Slaveowners had whole plantations of them!”
Yes. And a very small proportion of Americans owned slaves. And this is relevant, because it’s attributed to being a crime by white people. When in reality, it’s a crime by the wealthy. There were far, far more people that were anti-slavery than pro, and yet with the power of generalizations, they shortcut and just act like white america was just gaga over chattel slavery.
If we applied that logic to today, the United States was a foot fetishist pedophile society because nobody stopped Dan Schneider of Nickelodeon and tolerated his presence on their network with the orange foot on it for a logo. The truth is that the people decrying ‘whiteness’ as inherently white supremacist and pro chattel slavery was, and has been since inception, contrary to the principles rooted in the thoughts of the Enlightenment. Slavery was an institution of the very rich to upper class, and throughout American history, those have always been a minority.
Yet when they retell the history of slavery they condemn and decry “all white society,” while at the same time saying whites have never been a culture, have never been a society. So.. which is it, are all whites descended from a slave mad culture of wackos and evil monsters, or are we not a culture at all and there’s no ‘true’ heritage or culture or shared history to be proud of? Are whites only allowed to be thrown under the same community when that community is hereditarily guilty of chattel slavery and culturally guilty of tolerating it from 1619 to 1860? We’re all at fault and accountable for being descendants of a “society” that did great harm, but culpability and praise for that society’s accomplishments in humanitarian aid, scientific advancement and support for ideas from the Enlightenment spreading globally can’t be attributed to that population? Because, “whites aren’t a real population?”
The point of pointing out that less than 2% of all Americans, and that included many slave holding native American tribes, black men and Jewish families/communities, is that attributing slavery and racism as inherent to ‘whiteness’ is to poison the well of European cultural heritage in the Americas to illegitimate, by holding the common people accountable for the worst actors of the bunch.
It completely ignores the parts of the United States that never tolerated the institution of racial chattel slavery, or were founded under the premise of the abolition of slavery, and have spent literal centuries as regional cultures without so much as a single slave.
It ignores the population of abolitionists that also existed in the pro-slavery states; numerically, more people in those societies opposed slavery and chomped at the bit to support legislation to end it, than owned slaves. At highest estimates in 1860, only 5% the confederate states where slavery was legal, owned slaves. Where it was concentrated the most.
It ignores the population of that society that abhorred the practice and fought to change state policies. And instead, because it existed, they just go ahead and attribute it to being a moral failing of the whole culture and society.
If we’re just going to go ahead and attribute the sins of less than 6% of a people to the whole race, I have some bad news about ethnic gangs and what that means for black America.
The entire narrative of a “society” being white supremacist, or bigoted, is unfair hooey that is allowed to perpetuate because it puts the responsibility for the bad history on the shoulders of every white person descended from it on the basis of being white, while the same people with the same narrative, using the same blanket, “culture is nation” narrative, claim whites have no consolidating culture beyond that. They either need to be logically consistent and abandon the ideas of race-as-culture, and the idea “white SOCIETY” did anything just because a few selfish assed, amoral upper-crusts owned all the slaves, or they need to lay off saying whites are not a culture and they never contributed anything of their own to humanity, as a people. Because when you make the mistake of attributing culture to people based on ethnic heritage, when you try to do it preferably for ethnic minorities, you cannot deny that whites have pound for pound, profoundly improved science, economics, medicine, standard of living and technology, and rather than hoard these things, historically, has shared them with those that ask for it. That is real “white culture.” Not this stale, disgusting old claptrap about how every white person from Jamestown to Abraham Lincoln were just these sneering white supremacists that “invented” racism just to use and abuse other people on the basis of skin color, hair type and religion.
I’m not arguing in favor of racial culture as community. I’m against it for all. It does a disservice to think of people by their “minority status” as culture as community. And it doesn’t matter if it’s majority, or minority. The institutions of the United States should not be baking racial consciousness and selectivism into its legislation or policies when it comes to an unjust criminal justice system, housing or distribution of aid to the poor. That’s just institutionalizing racism in another form and declaring the majority are chattel to pay off this imagined class-vs-class debt of blood, time and labor for the benefit of the other.
And this is why I oppose Critical Race (as well as sex, as well as gender) Theory. Because this is the interpretation by which they tint the objective facts of history in order to tell a story of snarling, sneering, jeering evil Europeans and objectified and abused black and brown people. “The whites are responsible for this, and here’s why. The whole society is busted and full of sin.”
Using the same logic of how a “society’s” actions make it accountable would logically also condemn black America, except they make special rules that only apply to majorities vs. minorities. And after that, further clarify something can ONLY be racist if it comes from a white person- it’s prejudiced if it comes from an Asian, but miraculously, it can only be racism if it’s specifically carrying on a, “white supremacist cultural tradition in America.” So whites are responsible even for Asian and Latino racism against one another.
‘White society endorsed the institution of slavery’ ignores the people and looks only to their wealthy and their official leaders, and ignores those parts of that society that did not engage in it whatsoever. Whites don’t get any credit regionally for not having partaken of the practice, and no credit for fighting for abolition. When the reality is, it’s due to Enlightenment principles fostered BY European science and academia that brought about the global abolition of the slave trade to begin with.
The hypocrisy burns my ass so hard. You cannot condemn the US “society” for something that it voted to abolish it federally in 1865, and only applied to the populations of 16 states legally separated into their own communities and societies to begin with.
It’d be improper and wrong to characterize someone from a free state as responsible for what went on in Georgia. As improper as trying to hold the nation of Canada responsible for what the United States does. Are Canadians guilty of the same crimes against humanity the US government are, because they aren’t threatening war over crimes against humanity? For, “tolerating” stuff so close to their borders? No. Different land, different laws, different societies. At best you can drag the societies of former slave states, only. Someone from fucking Rhode Island, whose ancestors didn’t migrate to the states until the 1800s or lived there slave-free since inception, does not count as the whole “American society” that institutionalized slavery.
American society fought to end slavery, and did so. You can teach that bigots in power have used the institutions of government negatively. You don’t get to condemn the entire society as bigoted, just because of whom the majority is.

Fandom Mashups Are On The Rise
Fact: Two fandoms are better than one. When your favorite fictional worlds collide, it’s a mashup made in fandom heaven. Fandom mashups are becoming more popular, with crossovers popping up in TV shows and movies, fan art, original cosplays, and even new collectibles, making pop culture hybrids a top trend in the geek world.
Fandom mashups have such a powerful impact because they join together two groups of extremely passionate fans — or two halves of your own geeky heart. While products and entertainment moments that feature themes from two separate worlds may be a little more niche —  not every Dungeons & Dragons fan would get schwifty with Rick and Morty — they have the ability to draw fans from one property into another. And the most accessible way for companies to pull off this concept is with gotta-have-it merch — and lots of it. With the right properties and the right fan bases, the collaborations can be seamless and maintain the integrity of each brand.
Take FOCO’s line of Game of Thrones MLB Bobbleheads, for example. The cross-licensed series pairs Major League Baseball players and mascots with Game of Thrones characters and settings. The first series merges three distinct bobblehead styles — the Iron Throne, the Night King, and the Ice Dragon Viserion — with mascots and branding from all 30 MLB teams.
“We definitely think it’s an emerging category, this cross-licensed mashup that we’re going to explore,” says Matthew Katz, licensing manager at FOCO. “… We tried to make sure we had the right balance. You don’t want to go too far one way or the other because you want to capture the people who are superfans of either baseball or Game of Thrones, and then capture those people in the middle as well.”
The bobblehead collaboration started off as a partnership for MLB’s theme nights, during which every fan who walks through the stadium gates gets a promotional item, like a bobblehead. The promotion opened the door to a conversation on how to expand at retail, especially for people who couldn’t make it to the promo nights or desired a more high-end collectible than the ones handed out at the games.
A unique aspect of pop culture mashups is that it gives the creators a bit more freedom in playing around with storytelling. The Night King was an ominous Game of Thrones villain, but he’s a bit more lighthearted when he’s wearing team-themed armor and ditching his spear for a baseball bat made of ice with the team’s logo on it.
“Developing a non-traditional product line like this gives a fresh perspective and allows a fan who has love for both brands to get a refreshed look,” says Josephine Fusezi, MLB’s vice president of global consumer products. “Being able to play with key elements from both baseball and Game of Thrones gives the consumer something different and refreshing. It also gives us an opportunity to have a little fun with our fans.”
Response to the first bobblehead series was so positive that FOCO quickly developed a followup series in just six weeks, featuring characters such as the direwolf, the Kingsguard, and a White Walker, available now for preorder. New MLB theme nights began in June for a Netflix Stranger Things collaboration, too.
Fans will also know exactly who to call with Hasbro’s new Ecto-1 Ectotron figure. The Transformers universe already has heroic Autobots, evil Decepticons, and now ghosts! The iconic Ecto-1 Cadillac from the 1984 Ghostbusters movie is now a Transformers robot — a converting Paranormal Investigator called Ectotron. The figure comes with its own Proton Pack and Slimer accessory, and it converts between Ecto-1 and robot in 22 steps.
This year marks the 35th anniversaries of both Transformers and Ghostbusters, making it an ideal year to combine the best of both franchises. A five-part origin story from IDW Publishing will also be available this year, giving fans insight on Ectotron’s background.
“Brand anniversaries not only allow us to celebrate a franchise, but we can also tap into nostalgia around a brand,” says Tom Warner, senior vice president for the Transformers franchise at Hasbro. “The Transformers and Ghostbusters brands are filled with waves of millennial nostalgia as new parents share the toys and brands they loved as children with their own kids.”
Ectotron preorders sold out within 24 hours after the figure was revealed at Toy Fair New York in February, so additional preorders were made available. Fans should also be on the lookout for other potential Transformers and Ghostbusters collaborations soon, according to Warner.
“On the surface, the Transformers and Ghostbusters franchises may seem vastly different; however, they share more in common than one may expect,” Warner says. “Both have two passionate fandoms, sharing a mutual bond over out-of-this world storytelling rooted in science fiction. When combining both worlds, our goal was to create stories and a product that stays true to the origins of both brands.”
The Avengers movies are probably the most well-known, most popular crossovers, but they weren’t the first. Think of all the “most ambitious crossover event in history” memes that circulated around the time that Infinity War came out — and how we were reminded of Disney Channel’s That’s So Suite Life of Hannah Montana, which came out in 2006, or 2003’s The Rugrats Go Wild, in which the band of babies met Eliza and her family from The Wild Thornberries, on Nickelodeon.
Entertainment crossover content is so successful because fans of these franchises can see all of their favorite characters interacting in situations they normally wouldn’t, like when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles visited Gotham in Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2019). In this movie, the heroes in a half-shell and the Dark Knight team up when Shredder joins forces with Ra’s al Ghul, and all of the heroes need to work together to defeat the combined might of the Foot Clan and League of Assassins.
These crossovers can also span multiple age groups, such as Sesame Street’s “Respect Brings Us Together” campaign. Two commercials launched in April featuring Elmo and Cookie Monster, one of which starred the notably at-odds Lannister siblings from Game of Thrones. And if anyone can convince Cersei and Tyrion Lannister to get along, it’s Elmo.
Fan demand for this type of content is loud and clear, as is the case with The CW’s DC Universe. The network has created crossover content yearly since 2014 through its DC TV shows, starting with Arrow and The Flash. At the time, in December 2014, the two-part Arrowverse crossover between the two shows was the most-watched December telecast in seven years for the network, and the most-watched episode for both shows since their respective series premieres.
In 2016, the network’s #DCWeek event delivered The CW’s most-watched week in six years, featuring a four-night DC crossover between Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The CW’s fifth-annual Arrowverse crossover last year, Elseworlds, introduced Gotham City and Batwoman into the mix, and concluded with a tease of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover, set to air this fall.
The ratings for The CW’s crossover events clearly show that fans crave this content, and it’s safe to say we can expect more of it in the future.
Pop culture mashups also come from the most important community: the fans themselves.
While manufacturers and entertainment companies have the power to bring pop culture mashups to the masses, fans can express themselves through cosplay and fan art — without the shackles of licensing rights getting in the way. And here, creativity is key. Out-of-the-box fan mashups, including one-of-a-kind cosplays and stunning illustrations, all have one thing in common: They fuse two things that would likely never be together otherwise.
Eric Proctor is a digital artist at TsaoShin who draws vibrant fantasy pieces, with a heavy focus on pop culture artwork. His gallery features bright, fun, and whimsical pieces that incorporate characters, such as Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.
“For me, the crossovers are a Venn diagram where the two circles completely overlap of things that I absolutely love,” Proctor says. “So, any crossover that I’m currently doing is going to just be just that I love A and I love B, and I’d love to see A and B together.”
Proctor is currently working on an ongoing Grumpy Cat and Disney series, which had accidental roots. Proctor bought a new rig and tablet for his illustration setup and was practicing with his new equipment. He sketched out the iconic The Little Mermaid scene in which Ariel is singing on the rock with water splashing around her, and because he doesn’t like drawing people, he drew in Grumpy Cat as a last-minute decision. He showed it to his friends, expecting to delete it, but then people asked him what Disney scenario he was going to put Grumpy Cat into next — and the series was born.
“I say that I love both of those things, but one of the things I felt so guilty about making that particular series is that I really, really love Disney, but I’m putting Grumpy Cat in a scenario where it’s just ruining it,” Proctor says. “It’s this little bit of dark humor where you’re like, ‘I really love Disney, but honestly if Grumpy Cat was in it, this is probably what would happen.’ So it’s taking something that’s a little sacred and then ripping it to shreds a bit. I think the humor was one of those things I had to play around with.”
Proctor is currently working on his next Grumpy Cat Disney installment, a Cinderella-themed piece titled “Bippidi Boppidi No.” It will show the scene from the animated film in which the fairy godmother grants all of Cinderella’s wishes, but with everything completely ruined, such as a pumpkin dress, Lucifer the cat being the size of a horse, and other mishaps.
“It’s one of those situations where it’s so easy to imagine a lot of those crossovers together; they seem so real and fitting that it just feels like a marriage of two ideas that you’ve enjoyed both of those things so much,” Proctor says. “For me personally, when I look at a crossover that just succeeds so well, I just get so happy because someone else saw the thing that put those two things together and they made that real.”
With pop culture mashups, fans get to express themselves in a whole new way, and manufacturers and entertainment companies are taking note of the increasing fan demand and creative potential. The possibilities are limitless.

—New Advertising Campaign and NYCgo.com Content Debut Today, Encouraging Family Travel to New York City This Summer and Beyond—
New York City (June 5, 2018) — NYC & Company, the City’s official destination marketing organization, is joining with Nickelodeon—the number one entertainment brand for kids—to announce an expanded New York City family travel partnership that will include three Official NYC Family Ambassadors: SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, and the return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a third year. This will be the fourth family partnership opportunity between NYC & Company and Nickelodeon, as Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer, Dora and Friends and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have served as NYC Family Ambassadors in the past. With a multiplatform advertising campaign and refreshed age-specific content on NYCgo.com/family debuting today, the beloved Nickelodeon characters will encourage families of all ages to travel to New York City—just in time for kids’ summer vacations. “After more than a decade promoting New York City as a family-friendly destination, we are pleased to expand our partnership with Nickelodeon to advance our family travel platform utilizing new family brand properties SpongeBob SquarePants and PAW Patrol, in addition to building on the appeal of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” said NYC & Company president and CEO Fred Dixon. “By lending us three of their influential and diverse brands simultaneously, we have a unique opportunity to target three individual micro-audiences within the family segment, showcasing how all ages can enjoy New York City.” The new Nickelodeon brands inspiring family travel to New York City from now through early 2019 include: SpongeBob SquarePants, a fan-favorite series for nearly two decades, now also appearing on Broadway in a Tony-nominated musical; PAW Patrol (produced by Spin Master Entertainment), the number one ranked preschool series on all TV; and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the newest reimagining of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlefranchise, set to debut on Nickelodeon this fall.

Three creative concepts are among the displayed advertisements (one for each family travel partner brand), with unique taglines in the voices of the Nickelodeon characters. To inspire families to plan their New York City adventure, a targeted digital and social campaign will run throughout the summer and drive to a newly imagined family section at NYCgo.com/family with comprehensive guides, itineraries and curated experiences, all designed to help families make the most of their NYC experience. Once on the family page, families can discover more “Things to Do” in New York City than ever before with online content tailored and themed by three specific age groups, corresponding to the Nickelodeon properties: teens (featuring SpongeBob SquarePants), tweens (featuring Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and young children (featuring PAW Patrol).

Including a 4D film with exclusive footage, interactive displays that dive into the players’ training regimen and game plan, physical challenges that allow guests to measure up against the pros and championship memorabilia, the first-of-its-kind attraction takes fans from the stands to the field (nflexperience.com). Opry City Stage opened in December 2017 in Times Square and is a four-story 28,000-square-foot entertainment complex dedicated to country music and Southern culture.

NEWS - Boom Studios Announces Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers Crossover Event
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Meet For First Time in New Event Series From BOOM! Studios
Road to SDCC 2019: Morphin Power Takes On Turtle Power In Historic New Comic Book Event
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 15, 2019) – BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc. and in partnership with IDW and Nickelodeon, today announced an all-new five-issue limited series event –  MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! Written by Ryan Parrott (Power Rangers: Necessary Evil) and illustrated by Simone di Meo (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Venom Annual), the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fight – and maybe team up with – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the first time in comic book history beginning December 2019.
The Power Rangers arrive in New York City to find Tommy Oliver – AKA The Mighty Morphin Green Ranger – but soon discover he’s joined forces with the villainous Shredder and the Foot Clan! As the Rangers are sent reeling by this betrayal, they’re confronted by another (fr)enemy – the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Can these heroes find a way to work together to defeat the bad guys and save the world from total destruction?!
MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1 (OF 5) features a main cover by Dan Mora (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once & Future), with Turtle Ranger Helmet variant covers by Goñi Montes (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) and more!
Click to download high resolution cover by Dan Mora!
New York Times bestselling author Ryan Parrott was one of the key architects of the landmark Power Rangers: Shattered Grid comic book event and currently writes both Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers at BOOM! Studios, along with creator-owned projects Volition and Oberon for Aftershock Comics.
“Honestly, I’m pretty certain keeping this project a secret has taken years off my life. These two iconic franchises were my TV parents, each teaching me valuable life lessons thirty minutes at a time. The Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles are too insanely awesome not to bring together. I mean, they’re both color-coded teenage martial artists who fight monsters! It just makes too much sense!” said writer Ryan Parrott. “A huge thank you to Hasbro and Nickelodeon for letting me play with so many of their wonderful toys, as it is truly an honor to be a part of such an exciting crossover. I’m the luckiest kid in the world, and I cannot wait for you all to see what we’ve been putting together.”
Simone di Meo is a comic book artist from Italy. He has recently worked as the artist on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for BOOM! Studios and Venom Annual #1,Immortal Hulk: The Best Defense, and Old Man Logan Annual for Marvel Entertainment.
“It’s an honor to be able to work on this amazing project. I’m very happy to be a part of this, one of the crossovers I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid,” said artist Simone di Meo. “Drawing these two teams together is a dream come true!”
Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 26 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date. Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993 with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the franchise celebrates its milestone anniversary year with the 26th season, Power Rangers Beast Morphers currently airing on Saturdays at 8 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S.
“No one could possibly love the Power Rangers or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles more than the creative team at the helm of this epic event! Which means they’ve got every dream team up scenario you can think of jam-packed into the pages of every issue.” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Monsters will grow. Shells will get kicked. And that thing you’re really hoping we’ll do? Yeah, that’s in here, too.”
Print copies of MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1  will be available on December 4, 2019 at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one), or at the BOOM!
