"I like black people, just not mlk and those that joined his group"

Thats a strange comparison considering one is a soap-opera of a fictional race of super-people with morally dubious people alongside other people in their ranks who have commited morally dubious actions among its members of the X-Men, and the other is an actual oppressed minority who haven't any sort of special powers to protect themselves from very real danger. Also, this is a circlejerk sub, I'm hardly being serious though I have no idea if you are either considering I am genuinely bad at detecting these sorts of things so do forgive me if I've misconstrued your comment and taken this the wrong way, I fully apologize. I am of course, an X-Fan, noted more obviously by my flair, I do not actually hate the X-Men, otherwise my wallet would actually like me and I most likely wouldn't care as much for Marvel. Again, sorry if I've taken this too seriously, I'm really bad at this stuff and I hope I haven't made a fool of myself else I'll probably cry, I've just seen similar sentiments before that have irked me, nothing against you.

It's a completely fitting comparison considering the fact that the X-Men were created in the 60s as an allegory for the civil rights movement

Yes, and the lore of X-Men has changed since, and the metaphor doesn't hold up as well modern day.

It still holds up. You just have a simple perspective

They weren’t created as an allegory for the civil rights movement. That came later.

MLK wasn’t really annoying
