Isaiah Bradley - Tumblr Posts
Bucky has to be under some kind of blackmail from Val or whoever because there's no way you can look me in the eye and say honestly that Bucky would choose to work for the government that screwed over Sam (and Steve's wishes along the way), and did to Isaiah and his troop what Hydra did to him by experimenting on them; dehumanizing them, unknowingly and unwillingly turning them into super powered weapons of war, then punished and imprisoned Isaiah for doing the same shit they made Steve a hero for.
Bucky is one universe-hopping visit from Hobie away from becoming a punk rock anarchist, come on now.
Let’s get this straight.
This fucker who told Sam he “did the right thing” by turning in this shield...
He’s cool with having Captain America in the picture—as long as he’s white.
Sure, having a Black guy along is alright—as long as he doesn’t carry the shield.
You realize all of this is pointing out how many don’t really want a Black Captain America.
Just a Black sidekick.
And I am ready for this show to turn all of this shit on its fucking head.
Fuck racism.
Also, folks need to dig deep into Isaiah Bradley, the first Black Captain America.
Why didn’t you tell me about Isaiah? How could nobody bring him up? So you’re telling me that there was a black Super Soldier decades ago and nobody knew about it?

"Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
I'll live now 'cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now"
I recommend that comic series so much. It was pretty disturbing, yeah. But well written.
Holy crap. They went there. They really went there.
Isaiah from ep2 of fatws? That’s Isaiah Bradley, the protagonist of the miniseries Truth: Red, White & Black, written by Robert Morales and drawn by Kyle Baker–a.k.a. the heaviest, most disturbing comic series I’ve ever read.
Basically: during WWII, 300 black American soldiers are taken, against their will, to parttake in the super soldier serum experiment (the remaining soldiers in their camp are killed). Only five survives, all the others die in agony. The five remaining are taken to Europe to fight (basically treated like dogs), where four of them die in various ways, until only Isaiah remains. He steals the costume meant for Steve Rogers, and goes to a concentration camp to destroy the German branch of the supersoldier program (there is a gas chamber scene. It makes your chest constrict and your heart clench), he succeeds but then is taken hostage and brought to Hitler, who plans to dissect him to reverse-engineer the serum. He is freed, but then court martialed for stealing the uniform, and setenced to prison. He is freed after nearly twenty years, and becomes a legend amongst black people, while no-one else really knows about him. Steve leanrs about his existence in present time (the series was released in 2003) and visits him–by then the serum has mosty destroyed Isaiah’s body and mind.
The whole thing is way more disturbing than what is seen on the show, and that was already plenty disturbing.
