The Spirit

This is not encyclopedic writing. Really, what kind of encyclopedia uses charged language and uncited opinion this way? Would this appear in Encyclopedia Brittanica?

(a name reminiscent of a minstrel show joke) is an ugly reminder of the dehumanization of African-American's in the popular culture of the time. While "Ebony" certainly does not stand alone as an example of the way American pop culture continued to justify the violent oppression of African-Americans through the grotesque characterization of them as venal, dangerous, and stupid, the terrible strength of Ebony's presence as a kind of “Ur-Nigger” is reinforced by Eisner's considerable talent as a visual story-teller.

You've made over three reversions, in contradiction of WP:3RR, under this and your IP of 166.84.144.29. Two editors have reverted you, and you will not work in a community fashion but simply keep inserting your own personal opinion that this characterization is "venal, dangerous, and stupid". The existing text says clearly it is a racial stereotype of the time an addresses this important issue using neutral language as required by Wikipedia and encyclopedic writing generally.
