I'll check out that documentary. I would argue, however, that Misty doesn't have the usual blaxploitation trappings. She is not composed of negative stereotypes but instead presents as a successful, independent entrepreneur. I also don't equate inter-racial relationships with blaxploitation - I see them in popular culture as anti-racist statements. But that's my perspective, and not being African American myself there are going to be subtleties that I'm likely to miss.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-90699511344537430162012-02-22T21:51:10.432-05:002012-02-22T21:51:10.432-05:00Misty Knight was a good try for a black super hero...Misty Knight was a good try for a black super hero but she was a big part of blaxploitation. She represented everything blaxploitation wanted. The biggest part of blaxploitation was that black men and women always fight against each other and love their white counterpart. And that is exactly what misty represent. She is not a move in the right direction at all. And people that don't understand the sociology behind racist images would believe that misty was a good representation. Good try but miss the mark. Look for the documentary X Mark the Spot it will give you the real truth. Don't get me wrong I love your article but I understand the sociology behind racist’s images.Real talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634058247546171995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-33447631673159975962011-02-24T07:22:15.314-05:002011-02-24T07:22:15.314-05:00Now I'm like Googling everything about Misty K...Now I'm like Googling everything about Misty Knight.:-)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05636868625682368042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-49508577501656597212011-02-19T17:30:26.743-05:002011-02-19T17:30:26.743-05:00Glad I was able to introduce you to Misty!
