Superman #179 for those that was to read this cringe shit in full
Here's the link to the comic for anyone lazy. I don't care about comics or superman but was curious about this. In defense of the white people who wrote this, the above page is the last page and Mohammed X (lol) does get the final word, which can be read I think as Superman's empty pablum being seen for what it is. Superman has no defense when accused of never saving people in Harlem, and Mohammed X is never shown to be wrong. Also in the authors' defense, when they get superman to go to his one black friend's house, said friend is mercifully absent. Likely they plotted out a scene where he was congratulated on not being racist by a respectable older black person but canned it before print. They did however include a line about how not all black people agree with militant density-shifter Mohammed X, inviting the reader to imagine their own smiling, agreeable black person who likes Superman, without them actually having to depict it.
Unfortunately they somewhat damned themselves by having Lois Lane go on for ages about how righteous it is to be color-blind and how reverse racism is the real racism. The green alien guy reciting the 14 words was also uncalled for as far as I could tell (not up on the lore, idk if that's a thing green guys usually do in-universe)
When X first met Superman, he calls the hero out on how the hero ignores Harlem and the rest of the black community. This makes Superman question his understanding of race relations. He speaks with his friends Lois Lane and Natasha Irons, because of his lack of knowledge on the subject. Natasha mentions other black heroes who are well known in the black community such as Rush & Silence, Stoneyard and Underground.
Rush & Silence, Stoneyard and Underground have yet to appear in any DC Universe comic.
They got so distracted by each other's bulges that they can't keep their eyes off it.
He didn't say it's harder to be an alien than to be black, he said it's harder (for him, an alien) to be a human than for either of them to change the color of their skin. Which is, uh, incoherent. But not wrong? Both are basically impossible tasks. I have no idea what he was trying to say. But what's in your title is not it, I think.
