I forgot what commercials he was in otherwise I'd tell you to look that way, but trust me, he's not acting in Gears. That's just how he is.Icehearted said:Yeah, I think I read something like that about him; big guy, lots of fun. Then again I think of other stereotypes people play along with or genuinely subscribe to, and it just feels really disappointing. If that's how the token black wants to behave, who am I to criticize? I'm just a man, black father, white mother, sick of the way we portray ourselves or are portrayed, like monkeys dancing for the organ grinder. He just aggravates me.Snotnarok said:Okay I can't seem to see my posts after posting so if this winds up another post after the one I just made...apologize but I can't see the last one to edit it.
See the problem is... the guy is actually like that. He's been in a few commercials and he is EXACTLY as he is in Gears.Icehearted said:Cole "WOO, IMMA BE A BIG 'OL BLACK STEREOTYPE, BABY!" Train.
How I hate him more than every character in Final Fantasy 8 combined baffles me. It's a pretty revealing bit of insight, I suppose, to know how these people perceive a black athlete turned soldier. For me it's about as bad as a white man in black face screaming "MAMMY" at me for as long as I play the game and Cole is talking.
Even if it is an act that he puts on, that's how he is. I was just as surprised.
Edit: Dammit now I see my post, what's going on today I can never see my posts till like an hour later.
BTW I had that same posting weirdness myself a few times. I don't know what causes it, but usually if I post something and it's not there right away, I just leave, and if I check back it'll be where it should.
Also I tried that, even closing my browser.
