Black History Month is to Celebrate Native Black Americans Not Pan Africa

Well it’s a north american company so…

Like I ain’t on the pokemon forum complaining about some cherry blossom event when I live in NA.

I’m mostly Of Scottish, Irish, and Welsh descent. I wonder if they’ll have any Celtic themed swag at some point. Can’t pick our own colors and emblems anymore either.

It’s a little off-topic and I was wondering the same thing about their imagery. But, let’s be honest, it’s just companies trying to act like they care about something. It’s not needed and nobody would even care that they didn’t post something. Now that they did, people are like thinking it’s dumb on both sides.

It originated in the US to recognise African American history, I agree with you there, but do you realise other countries around the world including the UK now dedicate a month to it?

I’ve seen 3 other countries that recognize it. And one is Canada, which hardly counts as a country.

Would Halo fans prefer they made it more vague and gave us New Mombasa stuff? That’s Africa, and Halo related.

To be fair, they also race swapped Jacob and Miranda Keyes, and made the main villain the least intimidating person possible. Let’s be real, who is going to put fear in the hearts of the audience, between Atriox and Taylor Swift? Also, FLESH CORTANA. The tv show shouldn’t set the standard for the games, because it breaks lore and immersion, especially them using AK47s 500 years in the future.

Still, I do agree we need the Reach female body back.
Destiny has female models, and it has WAAAYYYY more armor. 343 is making excuses.

The Pan African flag is an American creation, despite the name. It was created by Marcus Garvey to link together Black people in American under a common banner. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_flag

The Black Heritage flag is another great symbol of Blackness in America, but is a bit newer (1967 vs 1920) and less recognized.

In other words, the Pan African flag is a major part of Black History and OP goofed up

We’re all learning and the OPs Heritage flag call-out was a good one. So, I’m reluctant to toss a lot of criticism.
