White Privilege

Overall, Black Superheroes are the ones clearly fighting to end racism and anti-blackness in their comics because of the White creators’ White Privilege. The White superheroes often make problems around racism worse. This can be seen with the comparisons between the Black and White superheroes. The ideas are centered around the 2016 Nighthawk by David F Walker.
