There’s a scene in the netflix show, Daybreak, where RZA as a narrator explains how eastern warrior culture became popular in the black community. Which is what i thought of reading your question. I couldn’t find a clip but here’s an article about it, and the relevant quote:
“It’s not your fault you want to be a samurai,” says RZA. “See, that’s the economical pressure being expressed as warrior code. It started when young black men couldn’t afford to go to the movies, so we watched kung fu reruns. We found beauty in things that had been neglected.” He explains the socioeconomic forces that raised a whole generation of “blerds,” spinning out into everything from Jim Kelly to The Last Dragon to Kendrick Lamar’s “Kung Fu Kenny” to The Boondocks to Wu-Tang Clan itself.
For a serious answer, as someone who grew up in a family that couldn’t afford cable television. DBZ, Sailor Moon, and Pokémon all aired on network, antenna, televison in the morning before school or after school throughout the 90’s.
So it’s probably a function of income more than race. All the poor white kids I grew up with worshiped those three shows too.
It is fucking wild to me that, that’s all it took to create backlash. That is so incredibly tame.
Thank you for validating my scifi reference. I feel seen.
It’s a reference to a book. But essentially yes you would manipulate the curvature of the universe to put something similar to a black hole around the solar system so that nothing could escape. A Black Domain, or a Light Tomb.
Our solar system would have a greatly reduced speed of light so as to avoid being attacked by other sentient life.
Ok… but your analogy doesn’t make any sense in this context. X isn’t eating lunch next to the EU. They’re selling sandwiches over the internet in the EU. The EU sent a letter pointing out that his sandwiches in the past have contained shit and we now have laws in place regarding shit filled sandwiches, so do not sell sandwiches that contain shit within our borders or we will pursue legal action against you.
Also, quit your bullshit. If the EU just blocked it outright there’d be a huge outcry about them censoring free speech.
I mean, pornhub pulled access to their website from my state and others because of state laws. Surely it couldn’t be that hard for X
I’ve never moderated anything, but based on this post you sound unpleasant to deal with.
He’s absolutely free to say that. The advertisers are also absolutely free to decide they don’t want to do business with him anymore. That’s not censorship, it’s the market and freedom of association.
This guy doesn’t know about stackies
