Hi all, happy to be back with the team and going to keep this short and simple.

Akira Toriyama, creator of popular manga Dragon Ball Z has died and the Black weebs have continued to make utter fools of themselves mourning the passing of an author that had complete contempt for them.

Toriyama was indeed a racist, often depicting Black characters in outdated Black-face get ups and with clownish characteristics. In fact, Toryiama got so much push back internationally for what he often was recorded as saying was his favorite character, “Mr. Popo” for being incredibly offensive to Black people.

There’s also a character named “Mr. Black” and you can see him below.

Toryiama never thought to make a Black character that wasn’t a gag or something outright offensive. Even darker characters like Uub (who was not even conceptualized by Akira) who are stated to be of south-eastern Asian decent rather than Black are still marginalized in Toryiama’s works to instead promote blonde-blue eyed conquering warriors.

Yes Toriyama was a racist, but that not a surprise.

What is though is the sheer number of Black nerds making a show of their love for a person that took every opportunity to mock them.

To the Black weebs with self-respect this is why a vast majority of us are considered an embarrassment by the larger Black community. We can’t seem to separate the passion for a cartoon from a racist depiction, author or company that clearly hates us but will gladly watch us promote their crappy products. We live in these fictional worlds and when we see something that’s very clearly meant to demean us, we often ignore.

Well we might ignore the racism in the content we consume, but in the real world the racist won’t ignore us.

Black weebs need to learn self respect. We claim to be the smartest in the room, but act plum dumb when it comes down to it.

So lets establish some ground rules.

1. We don’t celebrate or promote content that puts our image in the dirt
2. We don’t accept excuses that the author’s were “ignorant”
3. We primarily purchase works from other Black content creators
4. We don’t shout down Black people who have a problem with racist content
5. We don’t ever say “well I didn’t have a problem with it” or “I didn’t see it”
6. Nothing is “Just a show” its a piece of media depicting our image internationally
7. If we have a problem with a content creator’s depiction of us, then we make our own while getting theirs out of the paint.
