Green and Black

When the DC Comics character Green Lantern was created in 1940, he was an individual with a magic ring, but twenty years later, his back story was rewritten so that being a Green Lantern meant one was part of a collective.

The Green Lantern Corps, as it was called, could be compared to the Jedi Order from Star Wars since both organizations enlisted thousands of different aliens (and just as the Jedi had a fallen angel in the form of Anakin Skywalker, the Green Lanterns were similarly betrayed, but I'm getting ahead of myself).

In 1959, a white character named Hal Jordan debuted as Earth's Green Lantern. Then the Corps decided a substitute would be chosen and kept in reserve in case Jordan was ever incapacitated, so in 1971, a black character named John Stewart was introduced -- making him DC's first black superhero (Marvel Comics' first, the Black Panther, premiered in 1966).

Hal Jordan remained the Green Lantern of Earth until 1994, when a 9/11-esque event traumatized him so much, he tried using his magic ring to raise those who died from the grave. The Corps deemed this as a gross abuse of power, but instead of turning himself in to be disciplined, Jordan turned on and murdered most of the other Green Lanterns.

DC Comics made a supervillain out of Hal Jordan, but in a subsequent storyline, DC redeemed him and had Jordan return as the ghostly Spectre (The Spectre was created by Jerry Siegel -- the creator of Superman).

I bring all this comic book trivia up because making Jordan the new Spectre was a brilliant move, but not only that, doing so could've cleared the way for John Stewart to finally become Earth's Green Lantern (Stewart survived Jordan's rampage), BUT OH NO! In something called, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Jordan is not only brought back to life, but now it's claimed "a demonic, parasitic entity" MADE him go off -- and all this time I thought he CHOSE to be a genocidal maniac like Anakin did ..!

So DC Comics would rather revive a dead white character than empower a brother ... I guess it was just too much for white comic fans to have their white hero fall from grace and take responsibility for what he did -- let alone have him replaced by a NIGGER. Yes, this is all fiction, but it's still indicative of something publisher Alonzo Washington said during a panel discussion:

"Most white people are uncomfortable with people of color gaining power. That's why affirmative action and immigration are always controversial topics in America. Therefore, the concept of a superhero of color is an uneasy thought to most white Americans. Moreover, the image of a superhero is one of perfection and morality. For years the mainstream media has always force fed the American public with the most negative and immoral images of black people (murderers, gang bangers, thugs, pimps, video tramps, whores, rapists, gangsta rappers, criminals, etc.). Therefore, the concept of a black superhero is almost a joke in the minds of most white people. That's why a number of Hollywood films are made with a black superhero as a comedy release (Undercover Brother, Meteor Man, Pootie Tang and Blankman). I have turned down a number of Hollywood producers who want to make a movie with my black superheroes as a comedy. Moreover, most of the creators in the comic book industry (not all) are white nerds. What do they know about black people or any other people of color?"

... as a black storyteller myself, I too will refuse to base any comedies on the black superhero -- a concept that MUST be taken seriously if blacks in real life are ever to be. Actually, there's at least one white man who understands. Bruce Timm was the producer of Cartoon Network's Justice League Unlimited -- a show where John Stewart is cast as Green Lantern -- and at the 2001 San Diego Comic Con, Timm nailed it ...

"When the show's lineup was first announced, there were a lot of people saying, why aren't they using Hal Jordan ... I'll just say it: You know we did need ethnic diversity in the Justice League. We felt that the show is going to be seen worldwide and I think having a member of the Justice League who is not just 'Mr. Whitebread' is a good thing."

... as Timm stated, "there were a lot of people" who had a problem with John Stewart and I seem to know most of them. One was Ralph Mathieu, owner of Alternate Reality Comics in Las Vegas -- who told me flat out a major motion picture about Green Lantern would flop if a black actor wore the fabled magic ring. Another was one of the three co-hosts I did an Internet radio show with ( lvrocks.com) known by his nickname, "The Goof," and what he said about the prospect of someone black portraying HIS hero on screen is simply too vile to be repeated.

COA Tool Box

Given the amount of resistance there's been to John Stewart taking Hal Jordan's place, is it any wonder why white supremacists have such a problem with their distant descendants looking like Halle Berry ..?

You ain't from the streets you come directly off your mothers couch bitch! Another one of your bullshit lies.

Hey I take it seriously when someone threatens my life.

I have documented this and will let the local authorities know of your intentions.

I guess I should call Amnesty International on you since you obviously believe in taking someone's life!

"Dr. Ellis, would you please fuck up the way the stalker's brain works with a piece of rebar? Thank you."

THE JOKES GETTING OLD!

God this has to be the funniest shit Saab has said in like a day or so! Saab was requesting over the internet to have someone drive him to Portland and this was his excuse for never having learned how to drive.

"I've never learned to drive a car (cartooning took that much of my time over the years)"

What cartooning would that be? Three zerox sheets stapled together called Dufus the Rat!
Dude when the story was first told it was funny but now the jokes grown stale. Please list all the comics you have drawn to date and let us know how we the people might purchase them? As far as driving a car goes I'm sure it was just a matter of choice so you would have another excuse not to be responsible for yourself!

Hey everyone I just opened my first blog ever!

Please check it out, I know all will like the format and design. Hoping to receive some great comments from all of you.

Thanks Shazzam

MR.HOLLYWOOD

Saab Lofton

"I have turned down a number of Hollywood producers who want to make a movie with my black superheroes as a comedy."

YEAH RIGHT, I'M FUCKING LAUGHING MY ASS OFF RIGHT NOW! You're a fucking tool!

Saab Lofton's racist statements of the white spoiled privileged

Lord knows how far those whites are willing to go to maintain today's status quo.

Let's face it, all too many whites view the 21st century as their last stand

If the Democrats would stop watering down their beliefs to appeal to all the dumb white guys out there, they'd win

I mean whites have to collectively overcome their economic masochism

The comfort of fat, spoiled and ignorant Americans

This means there will NEVER be a point in which whites will be let off the hook

It's been my experience that hippies are usually spoiled white kids rebelling against their uptight parents;

I wish I was bigger! Cindy Sheehan quit and yet she's an icon. I've been at this for over two decades and yet I'm still obscure! Goes to show white women are more powerful than black men

their subliminal belief in the supposed necessity of white dominance alone will keep them from funding my work.

and since the comfort level of a white American woman is sacrosanct

Ensuring that some spoiled yuppie will never know a moment of discomfort? Again, the exalting of white America's comfort level ...

White fear is profitable

there's still this "profitable" fear all too many whites have

Unfortunately, there's talk of casting some white guy as Captain Marvel
First, seeing as how white left-wingers are more statistically likely to be related to a Republican than any other demographic

Mainly because the white left is afraid for the lives of their ig-nant kinfolk:

white leftists are more concerned with the fate of their right-wing relatives

this is about something all too many whites have yet to deal with. This expectation for blacks to be eternally masochistic workaholics

And then white people -- 90 percent of the guns in this country are bought out in the white suburbs where you don't need them because there's virtually no crime

can be as difficult as explaining that a white woman can marry a black man without the world coming to an end

White liberals and New Age hippies who're related to people like O'Reilly claim I'm in danger of being consumed with anger; that if I don't "tone it down

FOX has had left-wingers (Alan Colmes don't count -- he makes Clark Kent seem macho

I guess it was just too much for white comic fans to have their white hero fall from grace and take responsibility for what he did

Most white people are uncomfortable with people of color gaining power

the concept of a superhero of color is an uneasy thought to most white Americans

The only reason the Religious Right demonizes the erasure of global borders is because whites are a minority worldwide

If any of the spoiled in the world are the least bit incredulous over why is it Chavez would want or even need more power in order to better help the poor,

I also would tell the spoiled to go slumming

blacks have to perform a task twice as well as whites just to get by

First World whites wallow in gratuitous cynicism like a pig in slop

I've always suspected that the reason why whites are so corny and will laugh at the most insipid shit is because their lives are so boring

WHO'S SO BORED AND SPOILED IN LIFE

what exactly gives white boys the right to talk this much trash?

Not all of us has white skin privilege,

How spoiled would one have to be to bother to point this out

What "arrogant, obnoxious attitude"?! You people ARE in fact spoiled!

When whites protest, it's to be hip and fashionable .

"Dan" sounds like yet another one of the spoiled

you've already proved yourself to be spoiled by viewing me in such a simplistic manner

That's petty and that's spoiled, period

not only does it let the rich/powerful off the hook big time, but it is SPOILED as a motherfucker

something the spoiled can't grasp because, well, they're spoiled

Again the difference between someone who's spoiled enough not to have to worry about the bills every month

who exactly am I offending? A bunch of spoiled whites who have the luxury to sit by a computer in the First World and be SOOO fucking concerned about my ego

Picking on a black man who's fighting for his very survival all because YOUR spoiled ass was bored!

whether or not I'm offending the spoiled and privileged. And pointing out how spoiled and privileged all too many whites are is factual, it's NOT encouraging bad blood-though I'm sure spoiled whites would love for folks to think it is

but would get a white boy's ass whupt if he said it

That goes for anyone else in this country of all countries who's white and pretty and at least lower middle class. GET OVER IT

For far too long, the poetry circuit has been dominated by spoiled white kids whining about insignificant things.

I tried to explain to the punks how their white-skin privilege got their black friend in trouble

One of my favorite examples of how blind whites can be to their societal privilege

And being white, the odds are you're more statistically likely to be friends with/related to some FOX News Republican than I am

thus wasting all the more time/energy which could be directed at the enemy as someone SPOILED would do

Only someone SPOILED by white privilege would find a future devoid of war and poverty to be "pansy

Only someone already spoiled and inconsiderate would consider making the world a better place

existence of white privilege/dominance

Sheehan quit! She's not taking a break, she's quitting! How dare Sheehan quit with all the privilege she has to spare?
Sheehan's claim to fame is that her son was a SOLDIER in IRAQ-and since most of the left are whites with right-wing relatives, Casey's military record was used to appeal to said relatives (instead of simply telling said relatives how wrong they were

but that still doesn't change the fact that she's famous solely because white leftists figured her son's military background would impress their right-wing relatives

DICTATOR ALERT

That's exactly right you are a scared ass pathetic hypocrite!

I have to be anonymous because of communists like you. If you were ever to get into power you would surely seek retribution!

As for protecting your website ( another one of your many lies) I haven't ever touched it. The only thing I have done is comment on your excuse ridden article on why you can't work because of the "SPOILED WHITE PRIVILEGED"

"it is understandable that (for once) I took the same stance that Castro does".

"I don't approve of the censoring of dissidents in Cuba, but I understand it: There's a historically legitimate fear that a counter-revolution will take Cuba's free, universal health care away".

That's right Saab believes free health care is more important then actually being free.

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
1. http://coanews.org/article/2008/a-tale-of-two-savages

Because you are a Totalitarionist masking yourself as an anarchist activist. I'm certain without a shadow of a doubt that if you ever had any real power you would certainly take revenge on those who disagree with your warped sense of reality!.

And what do I do with my free speech? I try to expose those that pose a dangerous prospect for the freedom we all would protect from a would be dictator such as Saab Lofton-I do not want Saab Lofton to die I would like to see him evicted from subsisted housing as he refuses to work for a living. Your life is not at stake and I've every right to expose you as the fraud you are..

"There's NOTHING "unverifiable" about the sales of my work."

Sure that's why most of what you had posted on Wikipedia has been removed because it's unverifiable.

This is what his Wikipedia page first looked like before I started challenging the facts!
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saab_Lofton&oldid=216645023

This is what it looks like now without all his unverifiable bullshit in it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Lofton

and most likely it will be deleted because He isn't really notable at all.

[I HAVE BEEN AND WILL REMAIN VANDALIZING YOUR WIKIPEDIA PAGE UNTIL THEY TAKE THAT UNDESERVED PEACE OF SHIT OFF THEIR SITE]

You are not notable and therefore do not deserve the right to stand among professionals that actually know what it means to be a novelist!

As for
Battle Neverending,
October of 1998, was 500 copies
April of 2005, was 1,000 copies
December of 2005, was 2,000

= 3500 copies which you claimed sold in one year, I don't think so (see this goes to your lying about how you sell everything in record time).

"I sold all three thousand copies of Btl Nvrg within the span of a year."

Your statement not mine. This is what you call a lie used to prove your book is so great it that it must of broken someone's imaginary sales record.

here's the link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phoebe#Concerning_the_vandalism_of_Saab_Lofton27s_page_.28and_the_sources_as_well.29

"NOW, the rain (it rains a LOT in Seattle) kept me from selling copies every-single-day. So if one were to take each day I DID work - and consecutively add all those days together statistically speaking, I sold an average of a few copies per day or 3,000 per year!"

I like his fuzzy math!

Now on to the next doozy!

"However, his claim to fame is the novel he wrote while still in the dorms at San Francisco State University, A.D., which was so radical a book it got him kicked out of college in 1997."

See this statement in and of itself is so disingenuous. Trying to make himself appear as ubber radical and that every one is trying to squelch his speech.

Here's the real story:

"Lofton wrote "A.D." while a student at San Francisco State University and spent so much time hawking the book A.D. when it was published three years ago that his grades began to fall and the university cut off his financial aid."
He dropped out a few credits shy of getting his film degree and moved in with his mother in Bremerton".

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19981101&slug=2781130

And yes I have heard his ridiculous excuse ...

"too radical means I "spent so much time hawking the book" because I had to overcompensate for all the (CORPORATE censorship surrounding the book. ) Had I an easier time "hawking" the book, there'd have been more time for grades. Of course, plenty of wayward students have had their financial aid renewed after having missed classes for far less substantial reasons, so one wonders why was it so important for me to be dismissed ."

Because you were flunking out fool!

What Corporate Censorship? Any corporation would think you're a fucking nutcase! And excuse me idiot but lots of people miss classes and still keep their grades up. It's called juggling your work!

And here's another great one.
"I took a chance on A.D.

I had 2000 copies printed. A.D. sold remarkably well, quickly becoming my 2nd best-selling title. It sold about (1000 copies the first year)"

So if it sold only 1000 books the first year that averages 2.7 books per day for one year. Goddamn that must have been hard selling 2.7 books a day and juggling college at the same time.

That must be hard being homeless on your mothers couch!

Another one of his many claims of being homeless.

Here's another example:
"Since then, I've been sleeping on a couch in my mother's living room at the ripe old age of 37--this is a crime"

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/34398/saab_lofton.html?contact=true&sent=true

"but what really hurts is when the working class looks at me as if I'm some kind of snob for not wanting to ruin the hands I draw/type with doing some form of manual labor everyday"

This is especially rich since he wrote this while refusing a day job and had been sleeping on his (remember he is homeless) mothers couch for three years.

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://coanews.org/article/2007/dream-jobs-or-death

"His politics were also shaped by a year he spent living on the streets."

Another one of his homeless lies!

But don't believe me here's the link, read it for yourself
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19981101&slug=2781130

A stalker and a liar!

On June 25th, 2008 Saab Lofton says:

You go ahead and call the cops, STALKER! An investigation will reveal the psychotic, obsessive extent to which you've taken shit out of context ..!

http://www.zenarchery.com/2007/12/30/god-im-dumb/

Joshua Ellis // May 24, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Well, one comment. But the point is taken. Guy who’s calling yourself Matt Hafner: you wanna bash Saab, do it on your own time, in some other place. Not here. I have your IP address. Saab may not know how to track you from that, but I do. Bother me again on my site and I’ll come to where you live and fuck up the way your brain works with a piece of rebar. Transmission ends.

... I was jokingly paraphrasing what Dr. Ellis said when you got on HIS nerves! Are you going to press charges against him too?

As for this line, "the only reason I respond at all is I’m from the street and I don’t walk away from a fight," that means just that -- a FIGHT. Boxers and wrestlers FIGHT all the time. Democrats and Republicans FIGHT all the time (even though they're more alike than not).

But you call the cops and maybe then your true identity will finally be revealed ...

Saab is advocating violence against me!
