Quote
“Goku loves his son so much,” Kirkland said. “And while he’s kind of an idiot when it comes to ChiChi sometimes, he’s a good dad. … When I was super young, I didn’t really think about it too much, but as I got older, seeing how much Goku cared for [his son] Gohan was something you didn’t really see very often.” Kirkland is now engaged and says he wants to become a father.

Emotional intimacy is something that men struggle with, black men arguably moreso than others. “So many black men live as if our lives are tombs,” Cassius editor at large Darnelle Moore wrote in an article for Ebony. “Our emotions, aspirations, longings, anxieties, complexities, mistakes, failures and imaginations are buried along with our truest selves. We are denied the ability to heal, to lead healthy relationships, to make amends for our errors, to be intimate, to be fully human, to be alive.” Although Dragon Ball Z may attract young black boys because of the flashy fights, it can also help them learn more about how to process their feelings.

PD, can you confirm or deny the accuracy of this article? Also, can we get a follow up about Sonic the Hedgehog's place in the black community?

It certainly spawned multiple classic Coli threads

Goku Never Kissed His Wife (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/hoh-goku-never-kissed-his-wife.469316/)

I JUST WANNA SAY VEGETA>GOKU AS A ROLE MODEL IN LIFE (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/i-just-wanna-say-vegeta-goku-as-a-role-model-in-life.506510/)

how did Krillin get a pass for marrying an Android?? (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/how-did-krillin-get-a-pass-for-marrying-an-android.338559/)

So we gonna pretend like Gohan wasn't dressing like a 90's rapper? (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/so-we-gonna-pretend-like-gohan-wasnt-dressing-like-a-90s-rapper.79066/)

I was gonna write a serious post about how its kinda weird how often this question gets asked like its some revelation that black people could like a super popular tv show just like everyone else (the article in the op is fine though and not as condescending about it as I usually see) but I got bored halfway through, anyways

Why does this article exist? Black men love DBZ because flashy fights are awesome. We love martial arts movies too, is there an article with a fake deep reason for that also?

It's more "this is why black men in particular like this", but it's not all that convincing.
