Black Ranger Walter Emanuel Jones weighed in on a 'Power Rangers' writer calling the potentially problematic casting of Black and Yellow Ranger 'a mistake': 'It wasn't a mistake; it was a milestone.'
“While some choose to seek out the negative, I’ve always believed in focusing on the positive,” Jones wrote. “I understand the impulse to address what might be seen as cultural insensitivity, but calling it a ‘mistake’ would dismiss the impact it had on countless people around the world who found inspiration and representation in TV’s first Black superhero — morphin’ into none other than the Black Power Ranger! It wasn’t a mistake; it was a milestone. It was an honor.”
Huh. He’s a role model when out of costume too.
Wasn’t Black Lightning or something on Superfriends in like the 60s?
Shhh, give him this.
I was thinking the same thing, but I’m way too white to suggest it.
Yellow, on the other hand…
Sounds like “I don’t care about your problems”.
