Yo, what the fukk is wrong with you? You're weird as fukk...

No lie
The problem with a lot of black people, in this case black men, is that we have been the medias laughing stock for so long that any thing that could perceived as a slight is worthy of ire.
If you're not writing a black character that plays up the characters intelligence, strength, etc. then you're not taking a positive step to undo how we're perceived.
Finn is interesting. Here is a black character who will be in the biggest franchise the world has known. He was marketed as a god damn Jedi. We already had S.L. Jackson play a jedi, but not a lead one, right next to a white chick doing the leading for once.
I guess a lot of black men saw it as a vessel to present to the world an image of our might; who was strong, could lead, and could get the white girl. On world-stage!
When the character could not live up to that all hell broke lose. If Finn was played by Zac Efron i bet the character wouldn't receive so much criticism. We're just not used to a lead black fantasy character either not being hyper-masculine, or playing the comedic side-kick role.
Objectively, he was a typical young, inexperienced, but nevertheless brave character. He will clearly step up. But because he couldn't be everything we fantasise him to be, he's useless in the task of undoing that old image that we feel the world has of us.

Notice how we've had two black journalists writing articles supporting Finn and Jayden. One is a black woman and the other happens to be a feminine looking gay black dude. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence though 
thanks, will check it out

we got our own style that we prefer 
as far as the emotional development of black characters within media in general, I don't have any reservations about it as long as its done in a redeeming way. Like as in the guy was a coward but learned to have heart in the end kind of sounds like that movie Creed, still haven't seen it yet

Finn was the fukking hero of the film .
Breh was the fukking first one to use Luke's fukking Lightsaber for fukks sake
Some black people were never going to be happy unless FINN was the main character,or some sort of Jedi Master like Mace Windu
Its bad enough we had to deal with white people's shyt and now he's gotta deal with negative reactions from black people.
She posted a pic? Because I think she is a plant
Yep. It's like black men now have to be c00ns or indecisive men. Black men of yesteryear were the polar opposite.
I know alot of black women probably mean well, but women shouldn't have to speak up for us and have a say about our manhood
That's why we have homosexuals and the LGBT community leading movements and black women being the sole head of households too often
We can refine our masculinity without snipping it away and throwing glitter on it
I take mental notes on how lots of black males (16-30's) don't even look people in the eye when they talk vs. Everyone else that does it. Same age, same gender. Sad

I agree with the general point of the article, but not every statement. I do think that black men should be allowed to show more emotion without getting criticized for it. Too many people in society expect black men to be robotic
Finn laid face-down unconcious in the damn snow while a little girl went toe to toe with Kylo Ren
I mean, if you want to cape for Finn, at least be honest about his character

Hate to say but some of what she saying is true. You had brehs on here complain about Finns character not being no hero or looking weak. Then you have some brehs saying why can't they show emotions. shyt that be the main topic in them bedwench threads , for a black female to like you have to be this and that, while the pale breh can be anything
But I don't agree with that feminine agenda they trying to push. Like its a bad thing to be a manly breh
