I’m not joking and I’m not trying to be racist in the slightest (I’m mixed lol), and if you don’t believe me search the reactions on YouTube from the latest game Sparking Zero, 95 percent are black YouTubers, even the smallest channels. Why is that? I’m not from USA, if that changes anything.
I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said “yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?” And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes “they talk MAD shit in the show man.” Blew my mind.
blew your mind because you were convinced that’s the reason. so many black people like dbz?
does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.
or just cause it’s the original?
I’m curious about the rest of the conversation.
Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?

Talking shit is the universal language of any black American communities. Source: lived and worked downtown with all black restaurant staff. Also signed up late for college one year and was placed in the athletic housing building which put me in the rooms with the entire basketball team. 2 semesters of me, a 5’7" white dude with 10-15 6’5" black dudes. It was a fucking scene to behold. We could’ve been our own fuckin comedy sitcom the amount of shit talk that was had lol. The college experience is what gives me reason to say it’s universal because the players I lived with were from fuckin everywhere. NYC, St. L, Maryland, GA (NY school so didn’t have any players from out west). It’s a special feeling being a shorter white dude and stuffing a 6 foot black dude driving the net in 2K with the whole dorm room watching hahah I reached God status for like 30 seconds while all his teammates roasted him🤣
It blew my mind because I wasn’t expecting it.
I don’t know. Never watched it.
That is what he meant. I interpreted it as “fuck yeah dude, that shit rules” more than “we talk shit” but who the hell knows.
haha, thanks for the followup.
yea that’d be a shock
