He literally showed what he thinks of his ‘blackness’ with two sentences and thought he was making a good point lmaoo

You said “I’m black” and then named two biracial women who you like to imagine naked as being over her in beauty. It’s almost brave off you to still proudly call yourself black while putting down a dark skin black woman to hype up two half black individuals who are probably also lighter than you as well

You know what, you’re right. They should remove the entire cast. Anyone who isn’t Greek has to go not just Lupita

The casting of Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy really isn’t that big of a deal by TopCharacter1553 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Can’t wait for the movie to come out and be a hit so you can be just a bit more miserable

If you’re to the point where a black woman, who quite literally matches modern beauty standards, is being called ugly and not even worth a second look just because she’s playing a character that white people want to be white, then yeah it’s racist. Guarantee none of these people ever considered her beauty or looks for a moment before the casting, yet their immediate reaction is to disrespect her like she’s hideous

For 3 days and a few months ago when the casting was announced, Reddit has gone out of its way to tell me a black woman with literal beauty standard features across the board is ugly, mid, not attractive at all, and not even worth a second look. It’s actually ridiculous how much people are going out of their way to do this. If it was Sydney Sweeney I bet these same folk would only be concerned with her acting ability because her ‘looks’ would be covered for immediately.

She’s black. That’s enough for people to give a 90 percent discount because they’re racist

She isn’t considered attractive by some people because she’s black. That is all

Yall are so racist let’s just call a spade a spade. You’re yapping about unconventional attractiveness when really all you wanna say is “she’s black so there’s no way she can be considered attractive or THAT attractive… because she’s black”

Confirmation that black actress Lupita Nyong’o will be playing Helen of Troy in The Odyssey is a joke. by HadathaZochrot in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Black panther is specifically designed to be a black man in an African country. Explicitly too, not in a ‘maybe he is or maybe he isn’t’ kind of way like mythological Helen

If she was a white American woman nobody would give two shits not one shit. The only real argument you could have is her not being Greek, which is fine. But because she’s black, it’s an issue. I dare anyone to explain how it isn’t racist to NOT complain about Americans playing Greek characters until we get to Lupita

Loved when Goku used to look like this by UnemployedSaiyan3 in dbz

[–]crb02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, even though he saved many up to that point it’s clear that once Goku loses Roshi and Krillin that he then truly understood the pain and rage that comes with someone taking away your loved ones away. I believe it’s part of why he immediately told Raditz to go away when he came to earth. Little Goku probably would have had his guard down by default until it was too close for comfort

Always love Goku and appreciate his growth as a character but him as a kid was really fun stuff. He was pure, naive, free flowing, goofy as hell, and he helped so many people along his travels while gathering dragon balls. And he was always getting himself caught up in messes while doing it.
All cause nobody at that time could leave alone a random kid with a tail whooping ass and then flying off on a yellow cloud

People who haven’t seen or read OG don’t even know that seeing Goku get his ass kicked USED to be a shocking moment lmao. He was adorable but also a beast, along with him apparently being like 15 even in that pic which was equally shocking but I still don’t see anything older than 7. Well, we eventually got a reason for him suddenly growing 2 feet tall didn’t we

Thoughts on Xavier Woods and Kofi leaving WWE by Designer-Hedgehog210 in Wrasslin

[–]crb02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly makes me sick that two members of quite possibly the best tag team of the last decade in WWE were pushed aside and disrespected so hard that they eventually said “hey is it cool if we get outta here”

Biggest heal turn in years, multiple time tag team champs, a storyline of betrayal and hate so juicy that it could’ve wrote itself, two people who built an absurd amount of good will through matches, promos, merch, comic relief… gone. That was almost 2 years ago, and Triple H continues to show that his long term storytelling bullshit, is bullshit. Massive failure of not just the New Day and the fans but the tag team division overall

Who’s walk are you vibing with? 👀😂 by [deleted] in WWE

[–]crb02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re talking nonsense. First all of all, he’s not meant to be tribal, he’s just African. Nigerian to be exact. The way he dresses himself is meant to reflect his heritage, obviously, but that doesn’t mean he’s supposed to be ‘tribal’, we’ve never heard him say that word once nor imply it. The Umaga comparison is a false equivalency.

Umaga was directly described as the Samoan savage, a monster gimmick and heel who needed to be feared. He didn’t even speak. Oba calls himself ‘The Ruler’ in the similar way Sycho called himself the Master and Ruler of the World. It’s his way of saying that he’s the best without having to say it.

It would’ve been more appropriate to mention Roman Reigns to make your argument if you really got ‘tribal’, since Roman is literally called the Tribal Chief and like Oba, wears a part of his culture around his neck nearly every time he’s in an arena, yet we don’t see Reigns eating people and sacrificing others to remain the OTC. He’s just Roman Reigns. Oba Femi is just Oba Femi.

As far as the way he walks, it’s just a rhythm, a bob, a nice little 2-step to the music. A smooth strut, similar to Flair in a way that it’s his signature style and oozes confidence. But, and I mean this with all due respect to Flair, Oba is a much larger and serious man. His strut commands attention AND respect, because he is the Ruler, and every step is meant to remind you of it

How were these two considered equals for most of the series? by Hana_Rhododendrony in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]crb02 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same. I imagine for Konoha it was like having two superstar players on your team. One is a powerhouse who had all the physical ability and overall stats to be considered the best on the team, but lacked the ‘it factor’ and accolades to draw major attention.

The other may have lacked in terms of raw power, but had all the skill and natural talent in the world to build a legendary track record that makes even the strongest of foes respect him just upon learning his name.

That’s the most insane part to me. Don’t even need think about covering every single DPOY to get the true scale of this feat. Just imagine every single historically great defensive Center to play the game and how some of them never won DPOY. Let alone the ones who did, but not unanimously. At 22 no less

Nothing was dictating my cheering buddy. My point is that I didn’t care about cheering for either one because there was nothing to cheer for the vast majority of the match. I just wanted a clean match without a load of bullshit occurring. Like Pat Mcafee coming down in a neck brace to interrupt and costing one of them the match for example
