I'm going to knowingly violate the H.I.S.S. Tank Community Guidelines, (in this case Rule #4 which clearly states
No Political Discussion at all. No Jokes, no flash animations, no political signatures, nothing. Spirit Native American stereotype down to mystic abilities and a rifle that shoots arrows. Quick Kick Chinese martial artist with no uniform. Roadblock being a cook. Even though he's a gourmet chef, he's still a cook and speaking in rhymes. Stalker being replaced as second-in-command of the JOE team by a blonde hair, blue eyed white dude of German descent Stalker being the only member of the JOE team that was a gang leader which a lot inferences can be made namely involvement in criminal activity and a dysfunctional home life. Colonel Courage being under used. No black people COBRA Command. Cross Country, nuff said. I'm not going to say there was zero racism, but some stereotypes are logical when they typify the vast majority, which some of them did. You can't get too over advanced in a children's cartoon anyway and stereotypes--whether seen as good or bad--are simple. I mean if you look at the majority of them these days they're as simplistic and sterile as they come. You might not be offended, but at least with Joe you don't completely feel like you've had someone play keep away with your brain for 22 some odd minutes. |

You're right. Sometimes it's not worth fighting against a false narrative that people desperately want to believe.

Well, I guess I'll be that person, but he specifically said "No black people Cobra COMMAND" emphasis mine. He didn't say "no black Cobra". If people really want to talk about false narratives it helps if you actually pay attention to his specific phrasing and not pick and choose want you want to see or quote.

I won't respond directly to the post, but based on the quoted material above, I will point out that Cobra Command is simply the early file card name for Cobra, itself. It's not a term used to refer to just the main leaders . . . unless for some reason you think Cobra Troopers are part of some high command too.

I don't want to speak for Fred Broca, but I think he was actually referring to Cobra High Command specifically, if we are going to get technical. He can correct me if I'm wrong obviously.

But wouldn't there have been some backlash putting black people in high command of a terrorist organization? Then Hasbro would been accused of making black people the bad guys.
