Okay, so I have just gotten online as I have been gone all day at the emergency room with my 4-year-old daughter, so I walk into this. So I won't get into a long drawn out explanation but will try to explain a bit.
1) The Ganja Connection has nothing to do with race never did, it's all about the gimmick of weed and wrestling.
2) Akoni Reid was a Tag team champion in another fed before I brought him here with the same gimmick but called now prepare yourselves "The Ganja Supremacist".
3) I chose these character pic bases because Kofi fit Akoni Reid's character that I wanted, and Reggie Walker wll when I think of a weed-smoking cool guy I think of Snoop dog and I needed a High flyer. As for Deshawn Marquise, I went with Icer T because he's one hell of an actor and fits perfectly as a manager.
4) Now I have never said or done anything racist or anything in character or out so before you judge me or the team why not read my roleplays with them and see what they are like. Because I would do the exact same way whether or not they were white, Asian, Mexican, Russian or Black or Alien.
So before you, all decide to label me a bigot, a racist or just completely ruin my already diminished efed reputation why don't you actually try to read my stuff and actually ask me about the characters and listen to what I have to say before blowing me off as if you know who I am and what I'm about. But I need to check on my daughter I will check back in a bit.

Duke nobody has labelled you anything. The gimmick came up and it was discussed. Dont jump the gun. Drago was asked outright if she was offended and said no.
Let's not take one step forward and two back.

Well, then why does Drago keep saying my racist ways or however Drago puts it? Also Drago what's the problem with my team The Convicted now? You have brought them up a few times.

Please refer to kuroi s post about how he believes the issue is in how you create your characters. I’m not doing a personal back and forth argument. edit: or Kira’s.

Duke, no one is calling you a racist or necessarily accusing of such. What Drago and everyone else means is that your characters seem sorta.. like stereotypical tropes that can be worked one. Someone could easily take it the wrong way when taking one look at The Ganja Connection, though I'm not saying you are a racist or bigot. Nor do I mean any offense. It just seems like you could develop a little more in-depth than just the tropes they originally start as.

Okay, for one, you are the one who brought me up into this saying I wouldn't respond or hadn't responded to anything. Also, you are the one who keeps mentioning The Convicted without even knowing anything about them. Also as for Kira's post, I am not sure if he was talking about The Convicted or not when he was talking about Prison but no one knows why they were sent to Prison since they haven't been in any one fed long enough to develope yet. So like I said earlier before you open your mouth and judge them or me open upon your mind and actually give them a chance. You wanted me to talk so don't refuse to talk now.

Draven, that maybe thats why I have asked that people actually give them a chance and read their stuff before judging them You can't judge a book by its cover.

I’ve read five pages of the posts and shows with the Convicted on them to prepare for EoD. That... still doesn’t change the point being made. I’m familiar with them. It feels like you’re trying to derail this into the weeds. Do you mention the Convicted rather than Ganja because you understand the points being raised in this thread?
Also, I mentioned you because you made a topic responding to this thread, rather than posting here, Duke.

No, I asked you about them because you simply brought them up without merit, as far as The Ganja Connection I have said my piece on them and explained them and I wanted to know what your problem with The Convicted was. My separate post was due to the OOC stuff that was being said to me and to others outside of the network about me if you want to know the truth. That's why I posted it in the OOC section.

The thing is, I have read some of those rps to understand and see for myself, Duke. I may be the only one, but I still think that if someone randomly scrolling throughout PSW or the XHF Network in general and saw those characters, read up on them, they'd be rubbed the wrong way.
It can use work, that's what I'm getting at. That said, I'm not their handler so it's really only up to you.

The Ganja Connection. I've read about them with an open mind and I still can see what Drago means.

Well, this is what I am willing to do because it isn't about race but the gimmick. Akoni Reid will remain as Kofi Kingston as I have held gold with him and I know he can be a success with his gimmick when given a chance as for Reggie Walker he is a new character so I have changed him to appease the crowd so no one can claim It is a race thing. And maybe they will look beyond color. Here is the new Ganja Connection...
