And why is the Twins' behavior offensive to blacks anyway? Did the Twins claim they were black? I have known people of all races who talked and acted like the Twins in RoTF.

Were they written to be black? Or are you just assuming, because of the way they talk. If that's the case, aren't you the one who's perpetuating the stereotype?It Is Him wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:And why is the Twins' behavior offensive to blacks anyway?

If you are challenging that these are distinctly black characters, in the same vein that Jazz is written to be black, I can't help you.
So instead of answering the question, you claim ignorance and/or indifference. This is not helping the discussion.To be honest, I'm not sure you actually care to understand the issue, but rather be more content to play devil's advocate, and that's not a game I'm playing.

I wasn't telling you anything. I was asking another question. And yet again instead of getting a straight answer, you go off on a tangent that is irrelevant to the topic. Does this mean you don't have an answer to any of the questions I have asked and thus can't defend your previous claims that the Twins in RoTF are stereotypes of black people?It Is Him wrote:Telling me that I'm the one perpetuating stereotypes is projection, baiting and an ad hominem attack.
How can you tell if you refuse to participate?It's clear to me now I misread the audience. I really don't mind talking about it, but again your questions don't give me the confidence it's discussion or understanding you're interested in here.

I wouldn't be surprised if you found quite a few people who are willing to help you with that.SlyTF1 wrote:Ironhidensh wrote:Having to wait 4 days to see a movie were some of the worst days of your life? What a blessed life you have led.
Yeah, I know. My life is damn-near perfect. All I have to do now is find a way to get off this planet, move to Mars, away from humanity, and I'll have everything I've ever wanted.
