[A] black editorial writer at the Washington Post, Jonathan Capehart (…) ran into New York City’s police chief at breakfast one morning and asked about the city’s rising crime rate. The conversation led Capehart to examine the New York City Police Department’s crime data…
“In short, 95.1 percent of all murder victims and 95.9 percent of all shooting victims in New York City are black or Hispanic.
“And 90.2 percent of those arrested for murder and 96.7 percent of those arrested for shooting someone are black and Hispanic. I don’t even know where to begin to describe the horror I still feel looking at those numbers. But the word ‘hunted’ comes to mind.”

Perry is white in the comics, so there’ll probably a couple of dipsh*ts out there pissed about this (not to mention Sam Jackson, who’ll be bummed to miss a paycheck). While I agree that’s a little lame when they cast Thor’s sidekicks like a college course catalog stock photo (two white, one black, one Asian), especially since they’re supposed to be, you know, Vikings, swapping a white dude for a black dude every now and then is perfectly acceptable…
