Black Characters in fiction worth dressing up as

[FalloutJack]

The black guy from Dawn of the Dead.

Hah, and you thought I'd say Pulp Fiction.

 

[crepesack]

Lando Calrissian.
Blade.
Sergeant Major Johnson.

Yeah, that's about all I can think of.

Lando gets my vote and should get everyone else's.

 

[FFHAuthor]

Teal'c from Stargate SG-1. Provided you can do the eyebrow move.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

K'?

No? Jules Winnfield, Morpheus, or Donald Anderson. Anyone of them. Also, DOLEMITE, MUTHAFUCKA!

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

The Candyman, obviously - nothing goes better with Halloween than horror movie villains!

Seriously, if you haven't seen Candyman, go watch it.

Second

 

[Mr. Gency]

Demoman

That's what I was gonna say!

 

[Nouw]

Jules Winnfield. Pun's are awesome.

 

[Kejui]

What else?

I was going to go with Teal'c, but then you changed my mind. I second this motion.

 

[Cazza]

Eli Vance
Demoman
Loius

my top three

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

It should be obvious, the Demoman from Team Fortress 2.

 

[Vuljatar]

Lando Calrissian.

Your problem, sir, has been solved.

This.

It's two costumes in one; people who don't recognize you as Lando will just think you're a pimp!

 

[feycreature]

Blade sounds like the most fun to me. Black trench coat, sword, sunglasses. Morpheus is pretty similar costume-wise, minus the sword and hair. Both have great acting potential, for the former you can growl threats at people and for the latter say everything as if you were revealing the secrets of the universe. But I can add to the list Bart from Blazing Saddles. The only difficulty might be making it clear you're the specific character not just a generic sheriff.

 

[Grimlock Fett]

Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian God.

Lando Calrissian is a positive role-model in the realm of science-fiction/fantasy!!

Well, fuck Lando Calrissian, always some white boy gotta invoke the Holy trilogy!

LOL it was a tough choice! It was that or "whats a nubian?" wanna watch it now......

also my token black friend was gonna be Jaxx from mortal kombat for halloween lastnight but ran out of silver spray after doin one of his arms! Epic to fail!

 

[rancher of monsters]

Green Lantern Jon Stewart

Afro Samurai

Jaks (sp?) from Mortal Kombat

The blind guy from Bleach

Cyborg from Teen Titans

Luke Cage

Eddy Gordo from Tekken

Sean and DeeJay from streetfighter (Balrog if you don't mind being a fucking sterotype, smae goes for Mr. Popo too)

And of course Jesus

One of my favorite characters

Spoiler: Bob Makihara

I like Bob, but I can't tell whether I'm supposed to be offended by him or not. He's a break dancing deliquent who is constantly sexualized. Seems like an ignorant (I doubt genuinely malicious) protrayal of a black person.

 

[rancher of monsters]

Who's the man that would risk his neck for his brother's man?

SHAFT!

Well the Japanese dont get to see too many brothers so they just go after what they think they know so yes blacks in animes do tend to be borderline offensive and also Jesus wasnt black he was more of Arab skin color and I mean like Saudi Arabia color.

 

[Caspertjuhh]

morpheus!
