“Behind that steel mask, there’s a very handsome guy. Okay, he’s a good looking guy. But there’s one thing wrong with him. He’s got a scratch on his chin. And he’s frustrated; he knows he’s extremely handsome. He knows he’s got the scratch on his chin, but you haven’t.
He doesn’t realize his own anger and frustration is mounting. He’s not a bad guy, as you saw in the Fantastic Four. He’d give the Fantastic Four a wonderful meal… before he’d kill them. Doctor Doom isn’t all bad. And he’s got a lot of class, he’s got a lot of culture. Doctor Doom is a college man, he’s a knowledgeable man.
I can tell you that the gangsters in my own section lived very short lives, not because they were villains or different from anybody else, but because they wanted that $200 suit a little faster than the average guy. And they were willing to do things that would put them in jeopardy and put everyone else in jeopardy. But I can tell you they were good to their mothers.”
- Jack Kirby on Doctor Doom, 1985.
Here's the thing about Wanda-- I have spent the last two weeks looking at footage of Roma death. Stanislav Tomáš was murdered by police officers in Teplice, Czech Republic on 19 June, 2021. I have seen images of his broken body, and born witness to his senseless death, more times now than I can count, and I have felt powerless, as an American, to even protest his murder, as it has received minimal news coverage in this part of the world.
I literally do not have it in me, right now, to further traumatize myself by witnessing another representation of Roma murder, especially not in a scenario where so many other readers and writers will be cheering it on. If you think that sounds silly, or if you think it's inappropriate for me to conflate these issues, I'm sorry. That's just where I'm at, mentally and emotionally. That's to say nothing of the degree of anti-Black brutality that Williams has written into David's storyline, and how cruel it will be to read, especially from a white writer.
Please, read this open letter from the ERGO Network, which demands justice for Tomáš's death. It has gathered over 350 signatures from human rights organizations around the world, but until justice is met, and until the world truly understands who Romani are and what we are subjected to, we have to continue making these demands, and we must keep circulating news and information.
Allies, please share the news articles about Tomáš's death, and distribute ERGO's letter. Reblog this post, but share the links on your instagram, twitter, and facebook. Say his name, and continue speaking the names of all Black and Roma victims of hate crime and police brutality.
nothing more embarrassing than holding a blonde man dear in your thoughts. you were supposed to be the enemy.
