I wish I had know you then. The left arm of my straight arm Stalker broke at the elbow and I used to make a sling for him with TP and cake box string to pretend that he was patched up in the fire fight. I’d have taken one off of your hands, with a typical empty promise of a child that I’d be you best friend for life.

You made my point. The concept of race (especially in this country) is arbitrary. In the antebellum days, it was decided that anyone that had a great-grandparent or above was black and should be treated accordingly. It's sad that we still adhere to those archaic designations. Obama is (literally) just as white as he is black.

To bring some much needed levity to this subject matter. My mom knew I was a Joe fanatic, and she always searched for African-American characters.
Between 1982 and 1983 I was gifted 5 Stalkers. For my birthday, My mom got me the Vamp Clutch, and Stalker. For Christmas (she must've forgotten what she bought for my birthday): A Flak Cannon, Jump JetPack w/ Grand Slam... and Stalker. She told my grandmother what I liked... what did my grandma get me? A RAM cycle, Rock N Roll... and Stalker. My brother was in the Navy and used to send home entire waves of Star Wars and GI JOE's. He sent me the entire wave of loose '83 figures for christmas... of course including Stalker (at least it was swivel arm). I told my Mom, "No more Stalkers!" But my next birthday rolls around... and my aunt got me... ANOTHER Stalker. I was so happy when Doc and Roadblock came out.

5 Cobra heads are better than one.

Oh my god man, please stop with this SJW crap. Larry Hama is a self avowed "SJW". And like I said in the other thread, GI JOE has ALWAYS been "woke". Hasbro always made a conscious effort to give the characters diverse background. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think even 50 percent of the Joe roster is made up of white males.
I'd watch the hell out of a LADY JAYE movie, btw.

A Louisiana law, repealed in 1983, assigned residents as “colored” if one thirty-second of their ancestry included African descent. https://www.baystatebanner.com/2017/...one-drop-rule/ However, to continue this conversation would violate the following rules on H.I.S.S. Tank 1. No trolling, flaming or Racial Insensitivity. Any form of personal insult is a no-no. As a basic rule of thumb: if you think that what you are about to post is insulting, don't post it. No posting with the intent of starting "Drama". If you feel the need to start trouble, go elsewhere. 4. No Political Discussion at all. No Jokes, no flash animations, no political signatures, nothing.
