15·6 days agoThank you for the confirmation, I was wondering why the school had would step down over it and figured it was something like that.
You might have something there
The response being “How so?” Doesn’t really make sense. The natural response would be something like “What is it?” But you could probably get away with “What do you mean ‘finally’?” and that would get you to the punchline that the joke is long overdue, like a book you checked out and never returned.
This guy doesn’t know about stackies
9·2 months agoEventually, first two seasons of DBZ aired on syndicated TV. Cartoon Network picked it up in 98
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.
Bitch I’m a lycanthrope
6·3 months agoIt is fucking wild to me that, that’s all it took to create backlash. That is so incredibly tame.
I had the same thought initially. I haven’t read the article, but assuming this picture isn’t fake they might be including artists from his last two campaigns. Rogers did in 2020, Bowie and Prince died in 2016
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.
2·3 months agoI found it. Dude ran for sheriff in 2015 and it came up then too.
I want to know how that teacher illegally obtained $20,000 from Taco Bueno in 2012
2·3 months agoUsually I avoid internet arguments, these arguments were so bad though that I couldn’t resist
This is a low priority given the serious issues raised here, but I feel like a portmanteau of sex and extortion was a bad call
