BTW, I’m not saying that Black female characters can ONLY be written by Black Women. Just that we should be given the opportunity. Especially because it’s so rare. I have no problem with people from different walks of life writing stories about people who are different from them. That’s how you get to understand others.

You can’t exactly say people of colors voices are being heard when people of color aren’t even the ones writing the voices behind the characters.

Having Diversity in comics is more than JUST throwing a POC in a story or having a POC taking up the mantle of an established hero for a short run. It’s about the voices behind the scenes too. We’ve seen what happens when there aren’t a diverse group of writers behind a story that’s about POC (I’m lookin’ at you OITNB). I’m sure Bendis will be great on this series, but I want more POC writing comics. It’s just as important.
