A true trailblazer and national treasure. 

Incredibly defensive knee jerk reaction to a simple question. Obviously it is hard to understand though because you just spent multiple paragraphs distorting the meaning. You talk about identity politics in one breath and then you play the card yourself. Black nationalists and the fringe left on...

Actually this is more about the hopefully positively power a person's memory can have after their passing. Not that they personally have power but that their memory does. Is this really that hard to understand?

Roman certainly has a very legitimate beef given his underlying health issues.

Really surprised by all the never heard it before answers. It was especially prevalent when people were talking about Chadwick Boseman aka T'Challa/Black Panther.

Rest in power is usually used when one was a fighter for or leader of a movement that seeks justice for some societal wrong. So it's about context regarding the person and their life which one might be the most appropriate.

For sure Kingpin could be the main villain in a Spiderman or Daredevil movie keeping it a bit more grounded and there are some great arcs there to exploit. And that would be more in line with what those characters do in their own books. Although Spidey is more cosmic than DD by a long shot.

I wouldn't go with lame. I'd say like pretty much all the series it had a slow build. I thought the show worked pretty well. The chemistry with Yelena really helped Kate as a character and many of us have been wishing for Vincent back as Kingpin. Seemed more like Spider-Man/Daredevil comics...

How about anecdotal criminal justice outcomes? Oh wait those are also proven real. How about anecdotal paying more in interest? Oh wait that's so real they tried to make laws against it. The list goes on and on. Ignoring it solves nothing.

Don't care how hard pressed you are to believe anything. This isn't a one off its a thing that happens so often it has literally cost black families billions of dollars.

Not anecdotal it's a recognized, proven and researched thing that happens.

America is still very racists. I can give multiple examples of it in every day life. In fact we just had yet another report of a black families house being appraised for less then the rest of the neighborhood until they had a white friend pretend like it was his house and then magically their...

No corporate America doesn't believe in it and their allies went to bat for them. Poll after poll shows not only is Bernie personally popular but his policies even find majority support on the right in many cases.

Ah yes the old if we do anything for the people scream socialist at it.
