I dunno if it's entirely the being black thing. I'm not japanese, american or black and even I made the connection to "Baraku Lock Chuuuuuuuta" when I heard his name.
Actually, I don't follow american politics much and when I heard the election involved an ex-president's wife and a guy named Obama, who I mistook for Osama (as in Bin Ladin) I thought the entire thing was a joke.
Keo said: It's because Obama's Black. That's they used him. "Black" Rock shooter. That's how most people would see it if it was in america and if they know about the Black Rock Shooter things. A bit racist, but what can you do about it.
I'll do nothing, because your explanation is way off.
isn't it because of his name is like a word play on black but spoken in japanese engrish? Like black would be pronounced "baraku" and that's dangerously close to barack...right?
