They need too leave spidey alone a while.

If they make Peter black, I want a white Martin Luthor King...I'm tired of being asked to sell my heritage for another and pretend like it's somehow "fair" and I'm suppose to "understand".Comment

Will all due respect...Peter Parker should not be mentioned in the same sentence with MLK.sigpicComment

Sure I can... He's not Jesus. And by the way even Jesus gets spat on in our school system and no one seems to mind. If we're going to say it's okay to dilute white heritage then all parties are fair game. You can't walk a double standard. If Marvel suddenly came out with a white Falcon, Jessie Jackson would be at their headquarters screaming foul. In this country EVERYONE is suppose to be recognized and heard. Well, guess what? I want Spiderman WHITE as snow. Having pride in my heritage doesn't make me prejudice anymore than a black person having pride in theirs. It ALL counts. This notion that blacks are entitled to get whatever they want and if someone objects that makes them racist is a total fraud.Comment

I don't see any blacks wanting to play George Washington or Thomas Jefferson...they just want a black actor to play some made up comic book character.sigpicComment

But what exactly is "white heritage"? If American Superheroes belong to any tradition, keep in mind that most of the icons were created by Jewish-Americans.
And speaking of Jews, if we are talking Jesus, let's remember, it is extremely unlikely that he was a white man, given the region and time period that he lived.
Abed from Community is probably closer in complexion to Jesus than the ones that get to play him in the movies.

Speaking as a hardcore Spidey fan, here's what matters to me as to who plays Spider-Man:
1) someone who can ACT
2) someone young enough to play a high-schooler or young college student for 3-4 films
3) someone who can be a convincing nerd, yet a smart-a** when in costume
Black, white, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese - who cares? Spidey'll be in costume through all the good parts anyway (oh, and can we PLEASE do away with the breakaway mask schtick like we got in the previous trilogy? PLEASE? Secret identity, remember?)"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

Oh no...that tool was Jesus?But what exactly is "white heritage"?

Now I'm a full blown atheist...not agnostic...if that's the case...
