Of all the Warriors in history Samurai have the dopest combat armor

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

I aint reading all of that but it depended on who was in charge at the time. Japan was civil waring for a century plus. Some samurai leaders were more heartless than others.
There's a dope docuseries on Netflix bout em.
Good watch.

Nah. Read the article. Most docs about them are based on a 'romanticization' of what samurai were without respect to actual history. They were rich thugs and bullies....like the Knights Templar. There was no 'code' they subscribed to. They did whatever they wanted, more often than not, for money. 'Honor' didn't exist.​

They had the most swag deficient hair cuts tho

They was cutting the top of their heads to look like they was bald

Me and a homie had a convo about this. If the Sengoku period samurai had Korea's early Joseon era hairlines and headbands them dudes would have been swagged out on the battlefield.

Bushido didn't really become a thing until after the Tokugawa Shogunate was established after the Sengoku Era. Before then Samurai ain't have no issues killing women, kids, old people, raping...basically they was vikings with more status and prettier armor. After Toyotomi fukked up and got the samurai's ass kicked in Korea as a class they en masse lost the appetite for war. After the Shogunate came round they all started writing poetry and romanticizing their war exploits.

Its just like the Shinobi/Ninja... Most of them nikkas was farmers and peasants no some elite group of ultra spies.

I just read wayyyy more than I intended to on that quote, and it was based in racism.

It was basically an insult.

Ashmead's expertise was that he served in Japan for a bit as a doctor, and he's read Maget. It's a read that'll make your stomach turn. Most Western writing from that period is Orientalist and has tinges of racism (well-meant or not), but this is pure unadulterated hate literature, with arguments for lynching of black men included.

By p. 86, he gets to the crux of his argument. Negros are subhuman. Japanese are Negros. Therefore, the Japanese are subhuman.

I’m certainly not denying that there weren’t Black samurais ... but the saying itself seems to have been traced to a racist writer.

Even logically why or better yet, how, could every single samurai have Black blood?
