Meanwhile, here are a few notes. 11-29-16 Politics/Human Rights News Mexican Musings, Caribbean Winds and Border Destinies As 2016 approaches a tumultuous end, possible changes in the U.S.-Mexico relationship are cooking. The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, the apparent shelving of the proposed Trans Pacific Partnership fervently supported by the Obama and Pena Nieto administrations and statements from north of the border of cancelling or renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) are all generating consternation and introspection in Mexico. Mexican nationalism is stirring, with actors of different political stripes urging a reexamination of U.S.-Mexico relationships, defined by Proceso columnist Jesus Cantu as a “nortedependencia,” or a northern dependence, which put Mexico at the mercy of the economic forces steered by its powerful neighbor across the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo. While such talk is not new, it has taken on a greater urgency with the rise of Trump and his promises to build a giant border wall, deport undocumented immigrants and toss out NAFTA. “There has to be a total rethinking of the root of our nationalism, of our capacity, of our pride..,” economic consultant Rogelio Ramirez de la O told a recent Mexico City business forum. -

Tony Isabella: Black Thought
Tony Isabella: Black Thought Tony Isabella wants you to know he’s ticked off. For years the industry veteran has championed positive portrayals of black heroes in the pages of comic books. In his Comic Buyer’s Guide column, “Tony’s Tips”, and on the internet he’s raged about the lack of ethnic diversity in comics publishing and the stereotypical treatment of minority characters. So it should come as no surprise that the seasoned writer has taken issue with events in the recently released Green Arrow #31. In his eyes, his most beloved creation -- Black Lightning -- was transformed into a cold-blooded murderer. Black Lightning/Jefferson Pierce sprang from Isabella’s imagination in 1977 to become the first African-American superhero at DC to get his own title. Gifted with electro-magnetic powers, along with a strong sense of community and Christian morality, Jefferson Pierce was designed to be an enduring symbol of justice. But over the years Isabella has watched his original character become distorted, even as he continually slipped on and off DC radar. Black Lightning’s debut series, written by Isabella, only made it to issue #11 before it fell prey to massive cutbacks in 1978. A string of guest appearances in other books such as Detective Comics and the Justice League followed before Black Lightning found a new home with The Outsiders, a street-level superhero team led by Batman, in the mid- 1980’s. After The Outsiders ended in 1988, Black Lightning was again downgraded to guest star status. It wasn’t until 1995 that Jefferson Pierce became a consistent player in the DC universe again. -
