This is one of my main annoyances with black characters in film/television shows. They always have to go through "minority" issues. Some form of discrimination or a look back into black history, etc... that other minorities/white characters in these film don't deal with. This is fine in historical stories/time period pieces, but this doesn't need to be in fictional stories. If I create a fantasy world where characters are shooting fire balls or living in some made up city, why the hell would I reference the slave trade or how hard it was for my character growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn?
For example, the movie "The Man With The Iron Fist" with the RZA. This movie is set in a fictional city in 19th century China, but there are all sorts of non Asian characters in the film and crazy/fantasy things are happening. But it's only with the RZA's character that we are given an "explanation" on why he is there and how he got so skilled (being a slave and escaping his slave masters to China where he is taught how to fight by monks). Whereas Russel Crow and Batista's characters had no backstory like this. They were just thrown into the movie and you just knew "hey white guys that kick ass, ok fine" and that was it.
Funny thing is his backstory didn't mean much in the end because the movie was still shit.
I feel The Man w/ The Iron Fists is like a small piece to what RZA really wants to do with a film. I'd like to see him take a crack at an Iron Fists sequel
He just needs to have someone else write, and to not star in the film.
Yo a friend of mine brought up something. He said he notice during the group stages of the World Cup that it was rare to see a supporting crowd that was mostly black even when the majority of the team was mostly black . The exception was Ghana. I noticed something similar with the darker Hispanic teams.
Anyone else notice that?

That's ridiculous.
I'll post this again because you seemed to have missed it.
These black people didn't paint themselves white. Do you know who they are dressed as and would they be easier to identify if they had?
You are essentially saying being black is a black persons most defining characteristic.
Yet it's completely correct.
Why do people wait so long for their accounts to be approved just to risk it by saying the dumbest things in race threads?

I wonder how many black relationship stereotypes are in Think Like A Man Too.
Might make a bingo card.

It doesn't justify it at all, but I think Gaf's mods are way more active in enforcing their rules than other places on the internet. Especially Reddit and 4chan which are probably the two communities that Gaf shares the largest amount of users with.
Funny thing about Rza character is that his backstory didn't mean much in the end because the movie was still shit.
Why are you hating on hyperstone heist? It was a harder turtles in time.
my nigga you out here sellin dat reggie man
that iron fist movie was struggle as hell...
Tell me ya'll saw my dude hamming it up in GI Joe 2
edit: Play Cross Tekken in 2014 brehs.
Eh, the mods ain't that great on this particular subject. DY pointed it out earlier - it's pretty telling that it's always the same 2-3 mods in race threads cleaning shit up; might indicate that the rest are lax enough on the subject to let it fester 10-20 pages longer than it should.
Meanwhile trivial shit like port begging gets Hawkeyed on the Gaming side. They even put it in the thread title sometimes. Just once I'd like to see someone parenthesize "Racism = ban" in a thread title.
Just like Shenmue 3 and Last Guardian.Tekken x Street Fighter will be everything.
Believe
Listen man
all I gotta do is win mega millions when it rolls around again
WE WILL get Shenmue 3 before its all over with
Half the dudes repping Shenmue ain't played that shit. Let that shit die.
Breh one of my employees showed me that vid off Facebook. Lil buddy went tot the end of the street for maximum velocity toogotta go fast
I just saw this last month its not even a film, its some crazed fever dream put to motion pictures.
but in the meantime, Sega could stop fronting and bring Yakuza 5 to the states
People who think Shenmue is better than Yakuza make me laugh. Which part, the gameplay, the voice acting, or the vanilla revenge story? And I like both.
...I need names.
