    Don't call them action figures. They're collectable statuettes

    I am a fountain of knowledge. It helps with school not much use for anything else… except random trivia.lol

    Agreed. The ideology fails to recognize that with a huge white cast and most of them being a bit fleshed out there is an easier transition when one is offed with most of the minority cast that isn't the case. I liked Bob but his issue was shallow(alcoholism) and once it was done his optimism spelled his doom(I like

    Woah that is heavy man. I understand it though.

    Oh I wasn't trying to start anything I just think people don't see how simple characterization can have a huge affect on character perception. Honestly I am all ready for anyone to bite the dust(father gabriel qould be nice that lucky bastard)

    I for one appreciate you teaching me about him because it is intriguing how long this type of thinking has existed

    Exactly as scared as I was for Glenn in this episode I kinda honestly knew he wasn't dying(both because as a comic fan I know more and because if Glenn was going to die it would still be a serious character moment all around.) I don't blame the show or think it is racist just that because of poor story telling all the

    Wocka, Wocka who wants to hear a funny ass joke?

    I mean Aiden, Reg, and Pete dying shouldn't be ignored but they were all introduced as B characters with Aiden and Pete justifying their deaths as more Karmic Retribution and they were handled well storywise(we saw pete's breakdown, Aiden was introduced to us as a problem), but that just goes back to how poorly

    In fairness the one black guy rule was skewed when Tyreese and Bob both were on the show but Bob Died when Morgan joined, Tyreese died the episode after Noah joined, and Noah died two episodes before Morgan joined the group again so it still was in line with the previous succession of black male character if slightly

    Shane was definitely Italian I mean look at that anger he was fostering. J/K

    I agree it comes with having a large number of B characters. If they aren't fleshed out their deaths become shallow. Add to that the fact Oscar joined right when T dogg died, then Tyreese joined the episode after Oscar died, then Bob joined(but was almost as useless as Tyreese was until the assault on the prison) then

    Glad you were able to determine for yourself my Intent with my post please Keep telling me more about myself.

    Naw didn't he have his own TDogg and brought the Latino representation in Martinez? Did he have an Asian enforcer?

    Now I kinda want this to be true and that his voice was just him hiding his accent.lol

    I am more worried that he is wrong in his response since the ones defending the characters are the ones claiming not to see race(i.e. him)

    As a representative of the low number of good black folks because we all know that a proper black representative is more thuggish and illiterate I apologize that we haven't been able to get past our victimhood.

    Well I can see where you might think others are heated but I can assure you that I personally am just taking a critical look at the situation. As for the statistics they look nice when you only deal with Rick's group, but if you add in the characters of Alexandria and those they met over the course of the show then

    There was one talking to Sasha about making her a nice dish but Sasha flipped out. If you really want to ask about missing black people. Ask how the group is primarily Caucasian in two rather densely black populated regions such as atlanta and DC
