Tom from Toonami gives a #BlackLivesMatter speech

[Strike]

Good stuff.

 

[Turin]

Awe, that's cool. Loved Tom as a kid

 

[Deleted member 9035]

Holy crap at that ratio :(
Get those likes up people!!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Why is Tom so good?

 

[Deleted member 10726]

Straight to the point and powerful, I like it.

 

[Bard]

This is great, as others said nice to see them touching the "I don't watch Toonami for this" crowd too.

 

[mattlikewhoa]

This is awesome! Direct and powerful!

 

[TheDinoman]

Good speech...but uh....

Good lord the human race truely is irredeemable.

 

[Valcrist]

Good speech...but uh....

When I scrolled down just to see, I reminded myself that I really shouldn't next time.

Bleh.

 

[Isilia]

Good on them

 

[Zelas]

Cool

 

[OneThirtyEight]

Really cool!

 

[ArgyleReptile]

I really appreciate this so much right now.

 

[PAFenix]

A discord I'm in just shared this. Great speech.

 

[Deleted member 1627]

Bravo. Bravo. Great stuff.

 

[EddyLovesTunaRolls]

Half of the Toonami audience are racist shitbags and the other half are cool people.

That like to dislike ratio is so weird to me. I didn't think anything Tom said was wrong but people are losing their shit over it.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Seeing this coming from toonami put such a smile on my face. I KNEW Tom was always cool as shit.

Good speech...but uh....

Good lord the human race truely is irredeemable.

Boy I sure am I shocked. Nerds are also shithead fuckfaces😒

 

[P-Bo]

Steve Blum remaining the GOAT. Thanks for posting!

 

[HStallion]

Damn that's pretty cool to see even if half the audience is probably frothing at the mouth of any kind of positive mention of something progressive. I should really start watching Toonami again.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Woof, reading the comments was a mistake. I expected the racism but I did not expect 9/11 conspiracies ("DUHH WHY INSURANCE POLICY ON WTC?" Because every building has insurance, especially ones as important as the World Trade Center)

 

[Morlas]

The dumbasses who complain about this really have no idea what Toonami's always been about.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I remember when TOM had a face, that was weird.

Great video, im glad they did this.

 

[Richiek]

Good speech...but uh....

Good lord the human race truely is irredeemable.

The likes and dislikes are even now. But come on...

 

[Yourfawthaaa]

Thank you Tom

 

[Dreams-Visions]

goddamn dat was fantastic.

Imagine down-voting this message.

 

[GK86]

Fantastic! I hope they play that every night.

 

[Stopdoor]

This makes me wish characters like Master Chief do their own videos.

At least Master Chief is out there caping for Trans Rights

 

[DeadmansTheory]

Really good stuff and most of his other speeches are good as well.

 

[mrmickfran]

LOL at the number of dislikes

Stay mad cunts

 

[CNoodles]

Tom as always been dope as fuck

 

[Thordinson]

This is awesome! Good on Toonami!

I'll just ignore the comments. I don't want to get upset.

 

[Gold Arsene]

That speech is awesome but that like dislike ratio makes my piss boil.

I guess I should just be thankful for the people who aren't being hateful.

 

[psynergyadept]

As someone who used to rush home from school to turn to toonami and skip doing my homework....respect Tom.....MAD FUCKING RESPECT!!!

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

When you see a company that ACTUALLY gets it, you see how weak the messages from other companies can be.

This isn't a long statement, but it's powerful.

 

[Weltall Zero]

*standing ovation*

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Those dislike numbers showing how the anime fandom really is the most opressed group out there.

Great Toonami speech as always, keep up the good work.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Damn, that was pretty unexpected yet poignant.

 

[Rutger]

Haven't watched Toonami in a long time, but I'm glad to see they did one of the TOM speeches on this.

 

[Toxi]

It's funny how on all the other "life advice" videos, you have people talking about how Tom's speeches made them better people in the comments... And then they end up being completely deaf to this one.

 

[MIMIC]

That was awesome

 

[aisback]

I love Toonami even more now

Absolutely. I saw people say they'll never watch anime again, and Tom should be neutral. Like TF. Social media was a mistake.

 

[Rellyrell28]

Yeah I saw this when I logged on to twitter this morning. Tom is a real and knows a lot of us black people were put on to anime from Toonami.

 

[Daingurse]

Damn. I got mad respect towards Toonami for this.

 

[TheRuralJuror]

Good on them. Grew up watching toonami. This got me a little emotional.

 

[HustleBun]

This is fucking awesome.

Mad respect to Cartoon Network, the Toonami crew and Steve Blum for doing this.

 

[Elway7Sharpe84]

As a Black anime fan that started watching anime on toonami 20 years ago, it warms my heart to see this.

 

[deepFlaw]

Damn, not something I'd have expected but good to see.

 

[mhayes86]

That's fantastic! Good on them for dropping this and standing up for BLM.

 

[Godsfather]

Gave me chills, amazing stuff and love seeing the weebs so predictably upset by this
