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

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.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

This is fucking awesome.

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