2. Oh, Jesus, this Whole Thing is Going to Be About that “Reverse Racism” BS, Isn’t It?

(Page 2)

Our story begins!

Lois has been assigned to cover one of Metropolis' poorer neighborhoods, which is known as…oh, jesus…Little Africa. Um, traditionally, similar neighborhoods are named after COUNTRIES. Africa, in case our public school system failed you, is not a country. We are in Panel One, and there’s already a problem. Lois also mentions that she's going to win a Pulitzer for covering this story.

Oh, boy, using black people as fodder for your awards-bait journalism. How wonderful, Lois. And why does she think she's going to win a Pulitzer? What is her story? Extree! Extree! Black People are victimized by systems of abuse ingrained in our culture since slavery. Read all about it! That is not news. That was not news in the seventies. We all already knew that.

So Lois leaves, and Clark figures that he might need to keep an eye on her as Superman. This fear is spurred on only by the information that Lois is going to a place where there are black people.

The answer to that first page's question Is Superman racist? is Yes. Yes he is.
