Speaking of The Matrix I can't believe Will Smith passed on The matrix. I know Hindsight is 20/20 but lets be real did the script for this:

Black peopel are not allowed in Scifi.

In the original Star Trek we had to answer phones.

In Star Wars we were shady as shit.

Babylon 5 a drug addict

TNG crippled and a simp

Ok in DS9 we ran shit, but Sisko was of a lesser rank then any other mainline Trek leader for the majority of the series

DS9 a depressed vulcan

Enterprise we were driving Sam Backett.

BSG I ain't watch that pseudo philosophical bullshit..

Eureka smartest man in town was the black man, who always had to save the mighty whitey.

Warehouse 13, the only black character is pretty much a force of nature.

Yeah.. but, but, but we're there. SIKE. Dude in Eureka was a mechanic because clearly black engineering geniuses work on cars. They don't have careers but work on cars as a way to give back to society. This was just a ploy so he could simultaneously scheme on everyone's significant other AND they steal their cars.

I could've sworn one of the Assassins in Assassins Creed is a black woman. Writers on some 300 shit half the time. They on that same drank the conservatives were on last election talking about "we built this".

Having said that, writers need to switch it up. I need some young (or old) black male) representation that isn't drug dealing, dancing, thugging, or some other tea party codeworded stereotype. Only some real shit, give me a main character that saves the universe or alters mankind's trajectory on some Shepard shit.

I'm going in..

I'm sick of these impossible white man characters. White people I love you but we need some diversity in these scenarios. This doesn't technically qualify as impossible white man genre but some of these characters be impossible as shit. Hollywood and software companies are lazy as shit. Look at Infamous story. Imagine Infamous with teenage black bike messenger. Cole was great but I need some authentic struggle to enhance the narrative. While I'm ranting we need a USM game starring Miles.

im actually surprised Tarantino hasn't tried to make a video game yet considering all the weird, zany shit japanese developers pull off.

Tarantino should make a Final Fantasy movie for shits and giggles

I can't imagine how that would turn out. A hard Rated R fantasy film from QT? lol

You listen to the Black Guy who tips? cause that is the only place they talk about Impossible White Men characters.

Yes, I do listen to it. Rod's a fool. I was ready to get behind the N.I.G.G.A. National Intelligent Gamers Gaming movement until I realized that isn't a great look. If you think about it that stuff makes my head hurt.

Case in point the entire Uncharted series. That series is impossible.

Let me get this straight:

Drake fights his way through 20 people on a train and gets thrown off the side of a cliff into a train car that's about to fall. He's bleeding, shot, and has a concussion. Somehow he summons the strength to scale a train and take out 20 guys with a revolver in the snow.

Drake killed pirates on a ship that was sinking and survived a sinking ship. Sharks didn't eat him.

Strange Days probably houses one of the most interesting takes on a black character in a science fiction film. Underrated film to boot.
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"

What they did to Henry pissed me off. One of the smartest, humble men in town, yet king of the SIMPs. He was willing to fuck up the world multiple times for a woman. Even worse for a wife from an alternate dimension that he barely ran into for his.

Mrs Frederick is the boss though.

Nope Rodeo Burger was small soldiers

But westerns did comeback thanks to QT

wat

edit: and looking up the commercial on YT shows the Small Soldiers connection, and comments saying they thought it was a Wild Wild West promotion too :lol

Yup, and the theme song is vastly inferior to the one it aped, "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder.

I still need to pick that up for Rock Band w/ the rest of the Stevie pack:

Small Soldiers still holds up.

And by "holds up," I mean it's still cheesy as fuck, but also fun as hell.

Lisa Strunk I like D-Wade but this is just ridiculous! Highly doubt they are anything like Trayvon. Do they go to a run down public school? Do they sell drugs? Do they post on Twitter how much they enjoy porn and fighting? Yeah...that's what I thought.

Marshall Taylor just lost respect for you, Dwyane Wade. Guess i should go stop breathing just cuz im white, right? pathetic

I said god damn.

Really only podcast I fucks with. Drak's conception was pure Impossible White Man
So salty.

Jeff Haynie It's funny how ReRe hates idiots, but if she knew anything, she'd know that skittles, Arizona watermelon iced tea, and codeine cough syrup are combined to make "lean" or "purple drank". Yes, he bought skittles, but not to use them in the conventional way. Either you're extremely naive or choose to feign ignorance.

Co signed

Solid movie with my favorite band headlining the soundtrack.

And don't get me started on the amazingness that was UPN.

fucking Desmond Pfeiffer.......
 
I heard that skittles is actually urban
urban means black
slang for "crack rock". So he wasn't as innocent as you liberals like to pretend he is!
