Mehcad Brooks speaks out about the racism he was subjected to by Supercorp fans. It has been a year since I was active on this blog but now feels like the right time to speak.

I created this blog purely to appreciate and enjoy James and Lena’s relationship. On countless posts and gifset that I spent hours making, Supercorps left mean, hateful and nasty comments. The abuse in my inbox was so bad I had to disable asks. I would feel physically sick whenever I would get a notification because it was relentless. 

“Get him off my screen and far away from Lena”

“Don’t let him touch her!”

“I just threw up in my mouth..”

“Rooting for a monkey lmao”

That just scraps the surface. It was not a safe space. Going into James tag; the microaggressions and dehumanization. It was painful. I would have internalized and never said a word if not for the response to Mehcad’s tweet from Supercorps. The reflex denial, deflection and complete fabrication that they defended James against racism.

You made the fandom a living hell.

You made me as a black person feel like I was nothing. 

I had to sift through so many disgusting and debasing posts and messages.

Two years ago I posted this: “Supercorps have spent months attacking James Olsen, spewing rhetoric that can only be described as anti black...”

Two years later I am posting the same thing.

Supercorps spent over a year attacking James Olsen, spewing rhetoric that can only be described as anti black.

Without even needing to look too closely. Staz Nair is experiencing the same harassment, bullying and racism for daring to do his job and play the love interest of a white woman.

What does Lena see in James and what does James see in Lena?

You’ve met Mehcad, right?

Also…have you met ME?

Racism is the oldest form of bullying. But when I became Guardian, I put that mask on… It was strangely liberating. But it was the first time in my life that I had the opportunity to be judged on my actions, and my heart       not how I look.

The way I see it, your friend came to you with something unbearable. And you tried your best to help her carry it.

This tea is hot...

James didn’t trust Lena when he didn’t know her. Now he does. He trusts her implicitly. 

Kara knows Lena and didn’t trust her. She went on full anti Lena Luthor rant.

James told Lena he was Guardian.

Kara still hasn’t told Lena she’s Supergirl and they’re “best friends”.

James understood without a word why Lena kept Sam away. He called it beautiful.

Kara interrogated and shamed Lena.

James never apologized to Lena bla bla bullshit excuse.

Didn’t catch Kara apologizing. Is “clean slate” Latin for "I’m sorry.”
