Is this a racist depiction of Africans from Samurai Jack?

You're a racist depiction of Africans from Samurai Jack

If you switched the colors he would be Abraham Lincoln.

yes

Not really, there are people in Africa that are that dark or nearly so

I'm genuinely shocked there isn't some serious SJW outrage over this episode in general.

Is this ancient art from Nigeria racist?

nah

But that guy is Argentinian, not African

There are actual niggers in south america before discovery

>episode aired when SJW shit isn't prevalent
I wonder why

Genndy really needs to stop recycling his own character designs into Samurai Jack

SJWs are picking up on early 2000s cartoons though. I've seen quite a bit of outrage over stuff like Avatar and Kim Possible, for example. Samurai Jack seems untouched for some reason.

The depiction isn't meant to make his appearance or mannerisms exaggerated or part of a joke or negative portrayal. Crossing those lines is what puts you in more controversial territory.

I liked the episode. It really showed African culture and wildlife. I smiled a lot through the episode except from the serious scenes

point was there really are people out there who are literally black

plus all the races were color coded so chillens would understand what they're looking at

Because there are people that look this dark.

That episode was pretty fucking awesome, made me thirst for more flashbacks to his training around the world.

Imagine if we got one in season 5, it would probably have Ashi-type characters throughout.

Oh god, constant flashbacks to Ashi's training, please don't waste anymore time than they already did. It's only a limited series!

everything is racist, races are different

> look mom I posted bait

that's nice kid

>Forced black inclusion episode

I'm pretty sure we saw a bit of the training at the very beginning of season 1, user. Hardly "forced".

When I showed this episode to my 10 year old nephew and he saw this guy he said "So some of them are good guys." It took me a second to realize he thought the black people were good guy versions of the same type of demon Aku is.

Any depiction of black people is racist.

It is our way

No
it comes from some African art like pic related.

the source material isn't stereotyping or mocking Africans by giving them goofy big lips, watermelon on hand etc.

the only people that bitch about racism are the retarded plebians who unironically don't read books or know anything

>Put non-OP super cool black people in a cartoon
>THAT'S RACIST

>Don't put black people in a cartoon
>THAT'S RACIST

In such cases it is always the americans who are the racists for these fucks don't even know how many different ethnics there are in africa. Just because their ancestors were snatched of the west coast does not mean everyone in africa looks like them or would accept them.

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER

Wuz dey kangs?

What the fuck?

Simon George Mpata 1942–1984, Tanzania

Jack is asian voiced by a black man and the show is made by a russian.
Also they probably masturbate to Jack anyway.

Pretty great way to recyle I suppose. You gotta remember that a lot of Africa is extremely poor and they try to make do with the trash that all other countries dump on them.

I saw a really cute picture the other day of a group of african children wearing striped plastic bags as uniform shirts for their football game.

The type of poor they experience isn't anything that any type of American would be know or care about. Or trying to laugh and still be happy and live your live throughout all the adversity they face.

true
they're all fujoshis who bitch about things other than "cute" boys
it's ironic if anything

No, it's artistic.

Her head would be worth a fortune in fallout universe

>taking bait legitmatiely

what are you? ewish>

Yeah, what was he thinking adding black people? Disgusting.

...

you and his filename are cool guys

I wonder if time skip jack can defeat them.

jack during the time skip? or jack post time skip?

...

since when do we care if people from Chile understand cartoons?

...

Haven't you heard of post-ironic divisive low-key sub-structured posting, user?

I'll check again in like 8 hours.

Jesus, this is like the third samurai jack Sup Forums thread in a row. Do your fucking job, mods.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what he meant.

kek

Samurai Jack was made by a Jew. They are safe from their creation.

>I've seen quite a bit of outrage over stuff like Avatar and Kim Possible
What the fuck, can you even post examples?

No. That'd be implying that incredibly Dark skin is a negative feature. It's more racist to find THIS racist.

>forced
Is another Sup Forumsfags got trigered about absolute nothing the post

She's actually kind of cute. That smile is infectious as fuck.

Real talk. I legit love super dark skin like this. Something about it just looks really aesthetically pleasing.

It's a Sup Forumscksucker falls for obvious bait thread, eh?

it's sjw bait, both groups are easily triggered and I doubt that anyone who's actually seen the episode would think it was forced OR a black inclusion episode

Yeah, cum really contrasts very well against that melanin.

Sidama a cute.

No, they were cool people with an interesting culture who had value in their society.

I was so confused as to what Jack could possibly learn from primitive Africans when I was a kid. And then apparently it was stick fighting? Which I immediately thought, couldn't he get a better teacher from Asia to fight with Bo staffs?

I watched Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls before they showed that episode.
I assumed what happened in that would happen to Jack.

Every depiction of a black person in Samurai Jack is kinda racist.

I think the whole point was to show, not only how well traveled Jack is, but show that learning just ONE skill from the perspective of one place would hinder you in the long run.

After all an african man wouldn't have the same bo staff technique as a japanese man or a native american or something.

Holy shit, Aku helped Jack train to kill Aku

If you wanna git gud you gotta start with the basics and whats more basic than starting with the original stick people.

These people kill lions m8. Considering how many giant monsters Jack has to fight I'd say their experience came in handy

If by forced you mean that Jack was sent to train with martial artists from all around the world with or without his consent, then yeah.

So that's what tribe he is

I needed that information in my life...not

FPBP

Only if the lips were red. You have to realise that outside of America (aka mostly civilised lands) race isn't nearly as much of a touchy subject because other nations have developed reason.

Some Africans scare off Lions by walking calmly towards them in a line of three or four. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

I did ask him to clarify. I did laugh at my inference though. I know he isn't racist, kid's a sweetheart.

OP BTFO

I really wish Afar would stop trying to invade Jersey.

>read Afar
>immediately start looking for Anear
I have a terrible sense of humor.

What? You like watching black dicks shoot cum? haha

>You have to realise that outside of America (aka mostly civilised lands) race isn't nearly as much of a touchy subject because other nations are *racist.
Ftfw

>ftfy*
ftfy

Yep, right on your moms face.

...

...

Anyone who doesn't choose Afar is a faggot

...

See, that proves that it isn't racist because Abraham Lincoln freed the black slaves and this was a subtle reference to it in Samurai Jack.

Nah. People that black DO exist, and it's freaky to see too.

If he had giant red lips, looked lanky, and went on about mammy, then you have a problem.

>There are actual niggers in south america before discovery
No, fucking idiot.

They complained about old ass TinTin comics with depictions of Africans identical to the paintings and statues all around my parents house.

It hides imperfections, the natural sheen of skin is more obvious, and there is nothing on this earth hotter than an oiled-up nigress.

Obviously, only the white man can create art.

Haha, just for the a e s t h e t i c, haha

really makes ya think

>Identical to the paintings and statues al around my parents house
So are your parents racist or black?

Did they fug?

Why no shota porn of this?

Those are some buff 8 year olds.
