No when to fall back breh.

We all shoot from the hip and miss at some point in our lives.

I understand those characters made some nikka nerds “proud” but they are not remotely black

they look and sound like white/asian characters “inspired” by black ppl in the most exploitative sense of the word

How are they not black? Cause their hair is white. Anime always changes hair colors/styles they got people with pink hair, those characters still look Japanese

And those ain’t the only shows that have black characters

don’t conflate the argument by posting pictures from entirely different cartoons to muddy up the discussion...I talked about no inclusion of black characters in the toonami segment including the ambiguously “black” character from naruto...the characters you just posted are a far cry from the other character(s) we’re talking about

Address the first statement

How are they not black?

lol look at the hair texture as well...especially in comparison to the characters you posted from the other cartoon(s)...look at the nose of the 2nd character you posted

like I said I understand some of these dudes being happy growing up with those ambiguous characters...that was probably their “black panther” moment so I get that I’m stepping on toes here

also I’m curious to know who are the black characters you posted from the other cartoon(s)...it might be able to help me prove my point

It's a cartoon and some of them have cornrows humans can change based on the environment they live in anyway

Got a whole village full of dope black characters but because they don't got black hair and afros or dreads they ain't black

I don’t think you know what hair texture is especially from that meme you posted...or you do and are purposely being deceitful...I didn’t say anything about hairstyles

Ogun Montgomery from Fire Force who uses moves like "Yoruba Forge" and "Yoruba Lance"

TJ from Appare Ranman and if you've seen the show you'd know he's so obviously black

if you’d take your time and read my posts you would’ve seen I already acknowledged he is black...I literally say it in the post you quoted

It's a cartoon, the fact that you care more about hair texture than the color of their skin color is
