>Miles Morales' father, a black man, is called Jefferson Davis
>The same name as the President of the Confederate States of America
Did Bendis not realize what he was doing? Why is this not considered problematic?

Why is that problematic?
Are you one of that soccer moms that got angry at that black kid whose surname was Washington?
like Denzel Washington?
Is Davis a rare name?
Is Jefferson rare?
People have all kinds of names.
Presumably there are people called Edmund Kemper or John Wayne or William Tell out there as well.
Bendis might have thrown it in as trivia/cheap joke, if it was intentional at all.
The real question is why his name isn't Miles Davis.
Or his dad's name is Jefferson Morales.
That is, unless Benids is making a reference to the common stereotype of the absent black dad.
Go to facebook, twitter or any other social media platform where the permanently angered PC crowd hangs out - you'll feel better there, more empowered.
Towards the end of his life Jefferson Davis realized he was evil and actually promoted racial equality and cooperation back when it was still a radical concept
People change
Jefferson wasn't an absent father, so that's not it. I don't know if Bendis ever gave an explanation, but Ahmed's explanation was that Jefferson hated his own absent criminal father, so he'd rather not have his son share his surname.
>Did Bendis know what he was doing?
Yes. Yes in fact he did
Is that why during the 60s they built tons of statues for Confederate generals but not that many for Jefferson Davis?
They wanted to let everyone know that Miles is a half black, half hispanic character but Bendis is physically incapable of making an interracial relationship where the male isn't black.
Couldn't he just have given him a Spanish name with an anglo surname for the same effect? Like Miguel O'Hara?
It's a Mexican thing.
He really didn't do much, and soldiers carry more inherit dignity than politicians.
The "mexican thing" would be to call him Miles Davis Morales
Fuck off. I’m tired of everything being found problematic. The confederacy and the kkk were Democrats to begin with and they lynched blacks to destroy the Republican Party, which was started by blacks. Look it up and get woke.
Pretty sure Lee was for integration after the war
Alliteration.
Fuck off crybaby, it's only a problem to little bitches like you.
Miles' dad was cool, you should die.
I don't think Bendis was thinking about what he was doing at all. Miles's dad's weird deep undercover in Kinpin's organization for Shield storyline is probably the most useless piece of shit obscure trivia I know about Spider-man comics and every day I wish I didn't.
People sometimes don't get married and are fine with the kid having the mother's name,
Maybe?
He knew exactly what he was doing, Miles was first given the last name Morales without much thought to have the initials match like Stan Lee used to do and for cheap latino inclusivity as well, and then when Bendis realized the name implies a latino dad, which would conflict with his fetish for strong black bull men, he invented the whole contrived reason about his dad being named Jefferson Davis so the kid has an excuse to not take his last name
Is Miles’ mother supposed to be a mestizo or Afro Hispanic? Because if it’s the latter then it’s not interracial.
You'd be wrong.
Why is he a cop? Isn't insensitive to have a black cop in these times
I have no idea what interratial means. Most people in the US are pretty mix, incluiding with native americans.
Pretty sure that's just outright false. Davis spent the post-war years doing basically nothing but promoting the revisionism that the Confederate states withdrew from the union for reasons other than slavery. Basically the only good thing he ever did was discourage butthurt Southerners from trying to secede a second time.
oh great its the 13th Zig Forums bait thread
No not integration. He was for building schools and public programs for black people, but opposed their voting rights. I’ve never seen anything to suggest he supported integration. I don’t think anyone in the union was for their integration.
We have reached the point where people whining about Zig Forums are more annoying than Zig Forums LARPers.
>incluiding with native americans.
No, that’s just wrong. Most people who claim to have Native blood are retards like Elizabeth Warren who turned out to be whiter than the average White American.
Not sure even that's a good thing. Getting their asses handed to them a second time might've knocked some sense into those retards.
Bendis is an idiot.
