Great read. Now I want an AC game set in the Wild West.

I see......

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I didnt know Clementine was black. But I never played it after my progress up to Episode 3 got deleted somehow.

 

[SoilBreak]

we'll be getting to anime levels of denial soon

''Wow, she's black?''

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I only played a little of episode 1, but I thought it was pretty clear she was black.

Is she a game-original character?

 

[Angelus Errare]

''Wow, she's black?''

“She was adopted.”

Where's that J.Law gif when I need it.

yep.

 

[Gorillaz]

Yea I thought she was asian

I didn't play the game tho so were talking bout the little girl right? I remember seeing her in a few pics

 

[SoilBreak]

I had to convince myself she was white since I found it difficult to connect with a black child

bruh

 

[JustAnotherMike]

I think that toasty guy is trolling based on some other thread with a similar subject.

I have no evidence of this, though

 

[cdyhybrid]

bruh

[Oldschoolgamer]

Toasty isn't wrong tho. I wouldn't use his exact words, but let's not act like dark skinned women/kids get a lot of play time in music videos, games, tv, or film. 2 Chainz' Feds Watching was probably the first time I saw really dark skinned women paraded as a thing of beauty in that nature. Fucking Grace Jones is one of the few actresses.

Probably that godlike GTA San Andreas thread from WAY back.

ikr everybody is doing the most acting like he's telling a lie

 

[Silky]

bruh

ridiculous

i think Clementine's hair is a dead giveaway of her race for me when I first played the game

 

[cdyhybrid]

I see......

 

[Professor Beef]

Satch got a new tag

 

[Boss Riovane]

I see......

Bass Reeves in the Assassins Order. Esco it sells itself.

But an all honesty I am happy he is getting a shout out. Its like that time he got called out on Justified. So good.

 

[DrFunk]

Wooooooo!

And it's only Feb 3rd!

 

[Mumei]

Satch got a new tag

It's an odd choice, too.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Just got Freedom Cry. Going to hammer it out once it finishes DLing.

 

[Order]

That Clementine thread is depressing. You can't have black characters unless they're overly exaggerated apparently.

How is AC4? I could use a good action game.

 

[cdyhybrid]

It's the only one in the series I've played...I enjoyed it. All the pirate ship action is awesome.

 

[Boss Riovane]

Best of the series. One of the better games this gen. Point blank no bullshit its a solid game that's worth playing.

Do I need to finish AC3 to play it? I quit midway through.

 

[Byakuya769]

Too good to pass up. Thanks.

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Do you believe yourself to be the true queen of shade?

*stinkeye

 

[Boss Riovane]

Hell no. You know the gist of the story jump in. AC4 tells the events that happened in 3. And the Connor stuff just wiki.

And that Clementine thread. Goddamn Black Athena.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Solid AC4 endorsements. It is bought.

Hijacking Black Athena, I don't care if it's copywrited

ED: Someone said she's a Wonder Woman character; is that true?

I know there was a black WW at one time...

 

[Boss Riovane]

I know there was a black WW at one time...

Yeah her name is Satch....

And I got the biggest confidence boost earlier. I told you cats way back that I'm gonna do something with myself this year, started around my birthday on the 20 the of Sept. Any who I have been hitting the waits every other day for the last 2 mos. Man I walked past a mirror at the barbershop and did a damn double take. I saw some results. And then a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in months told me "goddamn what did you do, you look good". The wife has been feeling on my arms as well. A lot more. Man I'm more motivated.

Looked it up; Black Athena is apparently a book on the African/Asian culture and what influences it had on the greek civilization. it's apparently pretty controversial?

Yeah, I'm thinking about checking it out. Light on reading material right now.

 

[ReiGun]

Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization is a controversial three-volume scholarly work by Martin Bernal. He discusses ancient Greece in a new light. Bernal's thesis discusses the perception of ancient Greece in relation to Greece's African and Asiatic neighbors, especially the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians who, he believes, colonized ancient Greece.
Bernal proposes that a change in the Western perception of Greece took place from the 18th century onward and that this change fostered a subsequent denial by Western academia of any significant African and Phoenician influence on ancient Greek civilization.
Although the influence of Egyptian and Near Eastern civilizations on ancient Greece is not controversial in either ancient or modern Greek historiography, the Afrocentric claims contained in Black Athena have been described as pseudohistory by Ronald H. Fritze.

Thank you, Google.

You're thinking of Nubia.

Though, Black Athena should be someone's supervillain.

i told y'all business would pick up on Monday.

It's amazing how people don't believe black people can be light skinned.

I guess I would give most of them a heart attack.

what exactly do you mean by this?

is it the notion that a black person who is light skinned must be mixed to some degree? because no offense, i thought that was usually the case.

Both of my parents are pretty dark and yet my skin is pretty light. Light tan, even. I'm nowhere near mixed.

Because, here, that usually translates into stuff like "I thought Beyonce was white."

Crazy genetics, man. There are people in my family lighter than either parent.

Jesus this Clementine thread.

If I may:

Every thread about a black woman (particularly in regards to her identity as a black person) will eventually or immediately get to the point where people ask if they are really black.

Mark it

i knew it was certainly possible to have lighter skin, and have darker parents or no trace of it being a common thing in your family. i just assumed more often than not they were mixed, which was a poor assumption on my part lol.

and lol at the beyonce is white thing, i think i can recall actually seeing shit like that on gaf.
