That kind of social commentary is especially what Captain America is about, too, so it should be no surprise that when Sam’ Cap is the focus of the show, there is no “both sides” waffling or skirting around issues of race. In the comics Sam stopped a group of “border militia” domestic terrorists who were kidnapping undocumented immigrants, and when he was criticized for “taking a side” in a “political issue” he rejected the premise and went about doing his job. Because Cap is about equality, fairness, and standing up to systems of oppression and those who create and perpetuate them.Cap was created to symbolically show America rejecting and fighting fascism, at a time when there was an American Fascist Party holding rallies, and people in Congress who were sympathetic to their arguments.</blockquote>
