Just in time for the holidays, from the You-Can't-Make-Up-Shit-This-Stupid Department, we hear that neo-Nazi groups are freaking out over a member of the Norse pantheon in the upcoming Marvel Comics movie, "Thor."
Heimdall (not real), the sentry of Asgard (not real), is portrayed by Idris Elba, who is (GAAAASP!!!) BLACK!!!
(And real.)
Nothing screams supremacy like a racist rant spit out in broken English, bad spelling, poor grammar, and anti-semitism:
Marvel is headed by radical left-wingers who insert their ideologies and agendas into their comic books and movies.
In February 2010, the TEA Party movement was viciously attacked in an issue of Captain America. Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Qesada publicly defended the issue.
Marvel creator and front man Stan "Lee" Lieber is a notorious left-winger and financier of left-wing political candidates.
"What is needed is a school campaign to get White kids to boycott everything that comes out of Marvel Studios," wrote a human being called Annis Isbell. Another fan of the boycott, James Hick wrote, "Need to try and get black sepratists in on this to. Let them know that marvel is trying to negate and down play their racial culture & heritage and saying by default blacks are cultureless unless they imbrace the white mans culture. That would sit a black back lash," which we suppose is an almost utopian sentiment for someone whose Facebook profile pic is the Confederate flag.

For more on this, we turn to Comics Alliance:
[T]he Council of Conservative Citizens and their friends at Boycott-Thor.com [have revealed that] Heimdall, Sentry of Asgard, was white and Idris Elba, the English actor hired to portray Heimdall in Marvel Studios' Thor, is black! BLACK!
...
The CCC's unhappiness with Elba's appearance in Thor jibes with the material on its Statement of Principles page, where they assert that "the United States is a European country and that Americans are part of the European people... that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character," and thus "oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind... to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races." The Statement also makes plain the organization's desire for the United States to be extremely Christian, curmudgeonly, and for its citizens to appear as hobbit-like as possible.

Don't just take that last sentence at face value - visit the link to comicsalliance.com for a portrait of the pasty, crumpled old white supremacists who comprise the CCC. (Why can't I have a name as cool as "Idris Elba"?)
