I'll support the black community in film at any cost.

They did make a series in the marvel knights universe. He is always here and there. Just not making the headlines cause he lives in teh ghetto. I remember that he did Daredevil a favor one time recently. (to my knowledge)

To answer the question above, yes Luke Cage is currently in the Marvel Universe, in a big way. He's almost a regular in Daredevil and The Pulse, and will soon be joining the "New Avengers", along with Wolverine, Spider-Woman, and I think Spider-Man.
Luke is also currently featured in Marvel's "Secret War", not to be confused with the great-to-lame "Secret Wars" (great) and "Secret Wars II" (lame) mini-series of the '80s.
All these books are written by the same writer, Brian Michael Bendis. Guess he really took a liking to Luke Cage. Either that or he wanted to challenge himself by writing something other than high-whitey heroes.
oh yeah, reading some of the posts in the first link, it seems Vin Diesel and Ving Rhames were considered for the role, but apparently, Tyrese Gibson (Baby Boy) is the one who landed it. Drats, Ving would have been awesome as Luke Cage. Vin is too light and Tyrese is too young (plus, he's kinda slim).
I wonder if they'll give him a white girlfriend like he has in the comics?

For some reason I collected Powerman/IronFist back in the 80's. It pretty much sucked. (Although not as bad as Moon Knight or the Defenders)
I have something even worse…an old, 70's issue of "Captain America and the Falcon" that I got when my Uncle gave me a bunch of his old comics. The Falcon was this jive-talkin' black dude who was all into this militant black chick with the biggest afro on Earth who kept calling him an "Uncle Tom". Cap's old enemy, The Red Skull (who was a WW2 Nazi) was in teh ghetto posing as a BLACK MAN in a Black Panthers-style group and he was trying to rile up his "brothers and sisters" to rise up against those "jive honkeys". Seriously, it's the most WTF comic I've ever read. I'll scan a few select pages and post them tomorrow. The words "Whitey" and "Honkey" are used more times than a supercomputer could tally.

It took me a long time to find this scan... but I actually own this comic somewhere, and it's VERY wtf, but not quite as messed up as Dolemite's.

8-9: The most infamous storyline. Cage is hired as a cat's-paw by Doctor Doom, who refuses to pay when Cage goes against his instructions. But Cage's street cred depends on never getting stiffed, so he follows the Doctor to Latveria. Their differing power levels and motivations made this a unique story (and too unique for some).

The biggest LOL moment of the issue for me is when the Red Skull's true identity is revealed, the blacks are all like, "It's somebody even WORSE than the honkeys!"
As for the Luke Cage movie, they REALLY need to do the 70's version or I won't give a shit.

They only way this movie would be truly awesome is if they made it with blaxpoitation in mind.
That's why I said "the 70's Cage". That's comic blaxpoitation at it's finest.
If it takes place in modern times Cage and everyone else will be wearing form-fitting black leather like every other superhero movie. Setting it in the 70's (including an awesome funk soundtrack ala Shaft) would help set it apart.
Wow, the more I think about that, the more awesome it seems. Too bad there's no chance in fucking hell it'll happen. It'll be like a 50 Cent video instead.

Blade was written like that too once. Blacksploitation was great back then, because they provided the only heroes in the black comunity. But its just funny to watch now.

"Do you believe a mere bird and a BLACK MAN can stop me?!?!"
That's comedy gold.
I love that line.
How about the title of chapter 2: "BURN, WHITEY, BURN!"

According to the title page, some guy named Gary Friedrich. This guy is awesome.
The art was by none other than John Romita Sr.

Its funny, my friend and I were talking about this, and the fact that Falcon was called an "oreo" at one point
Its sad. He could probably save the world from Modok or HYDRA every weekend, build a series youth centers, and go back home and be called a "honkey loving oreo". He needs street cred is what he needs. My friend and I suggested a couple of things:
1) Get thrown out of the Avengers.
2) Publicly slap Captain America.
3) Change his colors to red, green, and black.
4) Go to jail
5) Do a skit on the Chappele show (it worked for Wayne Brady)
6) Open up a chain of soul food resturaunts
7) Ride around on one of those minibikes in a rough rider video
8) Wear a dashiki

Don't forget he had Luke put it in Jessica Jones' butt in the first issue of Alias. Bendis denies it, but by reading the text boxes and looking at her facial expressions, its obvious that's what he's doing.

I like how he puts all the "hip lingo" in BOLD just in case you didn't realize how awkward it is in EVERY sentence.
What's also funny is that there's several attempts by Captain America to talk hip, too. You know, like asking The Falcon if he could use his pad so he could change out of his costume, or asking a black guy he's smacking upside the head with his shield if being behind bars is his bag.
The whole issue is awesome.
