So I read this post by Douglas Wolk on Grant Morrison’s lamentable use of a Magical Negro stereotype in the latest Batman right after I saw Carl Wilson mention Lil Wayne’s use of an alien “Afronaut” persona, and now I think that lazy caricature Douglas rightly excoriates is extra-regrettable, because Morrison himself has recently drawn upon Afro-Futurism in a far more interesting way.
