Comment on Walter Emanuel Jones reacts to Black and Yellow Power Rangers casting comments

“While some choose to seek out the negative, I’ve always believed in focusing on the positive,” Jones wrote. “I understand the impulse to address what might be seen as cultural insensitivity, but calling it a ‘mistake’ would dismiss the impact it had on countless people around the world who found inspiration and representation in TV’s first Black superhero — morphin’ into none other than the Black Power Ranger! It wasn’t a mistake; it was a milestone. It was an honor.”

I was thinking the same thing, but I’m way too white to suggest it.

“While some choose to seek out the negative, I’ve always believed in focusing on the positive,”

Sounds like “I don’t care about your problems”.
