Black Spider-Man is Michelle Obama's Fault According To Glenn Beck

[Chimichurri]

In one of Marvel’s comic series, Peter Parker has been killed off and the mantle of Spider-Man will be taken up by a new character: Miles Morales, who is half-black and half-Hispanic.

On his radio show today, after repeatedly telling listeners that “I don’t care” about the new Spider-Man and that it is just a “stupid comic book”, Beck got his real opinion out. He explained why the new bi-racial Spider-Man can be attributed to Michelle Obama.

“I think a lot of this stuff is being done intentionally. What was it that Mrs. Obama said before the campaign? Because its strange how so much of this seems to all be happening,” he said. Beck then played an audio file of Michelle Obama saying that “we’re gonna have to change our traditions.”

1. And it just keeps getting more and more surreal ...

[no_hypocrisy]

2. Tell Beck to shove it. Batman exchanged Julie Newmar with Eartha Kitt

as Catwoman in the Sixties. No ratings or cultural outcry for that . . .

3. I thought Spider-Man was red and blue?

[sakabatou]

6. He does have the symbiote suit.

[EOTE]

13. So it's THAT black Spiderman.

It's too bad that the movie Spiderman had organic web-slingers. It would have been a cool upgrade to receive from the symbiote. It's looking like the reboot is going to go back to the mechanized web-slingers of the pre-"Disassembled" comic books.

4. it's so pathetic when you think about it

for Beck to be bothered by it, and for however many of his listeners to be bothered by it.

5. Riiiiight and Brian Michael Bendis has nothing to do with it

[Maru Kitteh]

7. How long before they just go ahead and bring back the white robes. They'll need a fashion update

and something to reflect their status and wealth. Maybe genuine silk with platinum accent threading? Not too fitted, but flattering? Kind of like the trench coats in "The Matrix" but in white and, you know, Klanned up with some crosses or something?

8. Beck Gets Paid To Stoke Racial Animosity Between The Races

That way when a White person loses his/her job, they'll blame Black people instead of the corporation that sent their jobs overseas.

9. They have their blond, blue-eyed Jesus.

What more do they want?

[deutsey]

10. He's a loon and very handsomely rewarded for it. n/t

11. Isn't this just an alternative universe Spider-Man? nt

[PVnRT]

19. Yes - Ultimate, not Amazing Spider-Man

[onehandle]

24. I vaguely remember a 'What if?' where Peter Parker is bitten and becomes a mutated spider-monster.

You would think that would upset him more.

Clearly being Black or Latino is more horrifying to that racist fuck.

12. Stupid never wears off.

BecKKK proves the point with each passing day.

[dtexdem]

14. And nothing says 'change our traditions' like ...

a new Spider-Man comic book character. Glen Bozo at it again.

[applegrove]

15. They know how popular Michelle is so they attack her.

[blogslut]

16. I just want Donald Glover to play him in the movie

I never really cared for the franchise but I adore Donald Glover.

[DeschutesRiver]

17. The rise of right wing "stupid" is Glenn Beck's fault (among others)

It probably just chaps Beck's ass that more commercials are beinng shot using black and brown people,instead of the all white cast we've seen for years hawking products.

To take a leap with the first lady from "gonna have to change our traditions" to direct responsibility for Spiderman's change is stupid on steroids - of course, he does says this kind of shit because it feeds his stupids and they keep him rich in return.

[PVnRT]

18. Jesus, it's the Ultimate line, not the original Spider-Man

But I guess it's a convenient excuse for the righties to disguise their racism in the form of defending something they probably didn't even care about in the first place.

[Dappleganger]

23. Ultimate-schmultimate--do you really think Beck the Clown knows the difference?

He probably needs help getting out of bed in the morning.

[PVnRT]

25. No - that's the point

[Dappleganger]

20. Isn't he supposed to also be gay?

That would definitely push his buttons, lol!

[MouseFitzgerald]

21. Whats funny...

is that he admits he doesn't read comics and specifically doesn't read ultimate spiderman. For anyone who has read and enjoyed ultimate spiderman, especially over the last few months with the whole "death of spiderman" arc this change makes perfect sense.

22. Who the fuck cares?! Just a comic book getting mad at another comic book, that's all.
