Ignorant Fool Alert: Larry Doherty of Larry's Comics uses Racist Jokes to Draw Attention


You knew the changes in Spider-Man's background would make someone act a fool. Well, Mr. Larry Doherty from Larry's Comics has gladly volunteered for the part.

See his tweets, which are now gone (thanks to Bleeding Cool for capturing this)

Yes, he or whoever tweeted this mess. Bleeding Cool and others confronted Larry about this foolishness, but he had this to say: 
google African American Jokes. Do it now. WHY is it good natured and funny When somebody BEDIDES Larry Doherty says it?
and....
not drinking Rich. ( which is rare ) Genuinely thought it was funny. And appropriate. Guess I AM a dick. #comicmarket 
 Seriously? Then today, he responded:
“Sorry, that I offended the entire Internet with my bad jokes. I STILL think making New Spidey black is G…er Lame”
What is his deal? If he needs attention, then somebody dump a bucket of slop on him. I'm sure that would work. Still, he needs to know that it's not okay to act like this. So if you want, you can email him at LarrysComics.net or tweet him and tell him to get a clue. @LarrysComics and use the hashtag #comicmarket

Thanks for enclosing his email address. He's going to get a very heated email from me.

Here’s something you probably don’t know about Albert Einstein.
In 1946, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist traveled to Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, the alma mater of Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall and the first school in America to grant college degrees to blacks. At Lincoln, Einstein gave a speech in which he called racism “a disease of white people,” and added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” He also received an honorary degree and gave a lecture on relativity to Lincoln students.


The reason Einstein’s visit to Lincoln is not better known is that it was virtually ignored by the mainstream press, which regularly covered Einstein’s speeches and activities. (Only the black press gave extensive coverage to the event.) Nor is there mention of the Lincoln visit in any of the major Einstein biographies or archives.


In fact, many significant details are missing from the numerous studies of Einstein’s life and work, most of them having to do with Einstein’s opposition to racism and his relationships with African Americans.

V, I'll e-mail him. His "jokes" went way beyond the line and he knows that. Such a disgrace.

I was elated to see the new Ultimate Spidey vision. A whole new world.
