Ogun Montgomery

thanks for posting his name...granted it wasn’t necessary for me to google info about him bcuz from his hair texture in conjunction with his hair color and skin color he was clearly intended to be a black character...the name “ogun” also is a dead giveaway...there’s no forced ambiguity with this character

Dude wants them to have the negative stereotypical "big lip, wide nose, kinky hair" look, smh.

now you’re being disrespectful and straight up lying bcuz you can’t address the points I actually brought up lol

you’re more so telling on yourself with that description as you went straight from A to Z...the 2 characters he posted from the other cartoons are clearly black without resorting to the silly description you put forth

it’s been answered by me several times...better yet you tell me why they’re black...bcuz they fukking rap when nothing else about them looks black??

they look like southeast asians

this is why I said I’d leave it alone multiple pages back...but if y’all gonna keep quoting me then I’m here lol...I’m being objective and arguing with ppl who grew up on this show believing these characters were “black” and “spoke” to them...it’s an uphill battle :smh:

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

fukkING WRONG

These are their English dubbed voice actors/actress

And no one said their black because they rap. Only one who "rapped" was Killer B. The rest of them don't. YOU telling on yourself.

:heh:

It is not that deep breh and you're bringing the conversation to a stupid place. I could understand if you said the characters look Thai, but white? Sound is equally ridiculous when their source is the manga.

I said they look white and asian in the very post you quoted...I even got more specific and said some of them look southeast asian...thai is not asian lol?

they look like southeast asians

...and one of the gifs dude posted a character looked like a white girl

nothing “stupid” about the argument...y’all are just angry bcuz I’m questioning the characters y’all grew up on

Should have just bounced from the thread or admitted that you fukked up.

This looks more white to you?

not at all...I could argue that you’re using “hotep” as an insult bcuz you’re a c00n nerd but it doesn’t address any real points in here

You could argue it but you would be in the wrong. At the end of the day I'm not the one referring to brothers as nikka nerds because they're able to observe something simple. You're not going to "you're a c00n" your way out of this one. You're in this thread making a mountain out of a molehill which is somewhat ironic when your grievances are centred on these gestures not being enough.

Why do you care about people having a harmless interest. Why does it upset you that those characters were clearly modelled after the image of a black person?

now this is concrete...I can’t argue this...if they used black voice actors for the character then it’s clear they intended for these characters to be black

:umad:

and @Mr. Jack Napier I respect you actually shutting my query down directly

I don’t argue for the sake of arguing...if I’m arguing it’s bcuz I believe I’m right until I’m proven wrong in which case I learn something I didn’t know before...anyone familiar with my posts know I’ll say “my bad” or “sorry” if proven wrong

no hard feelings
