Besides trying to blackwash Japanese history, its because of the powerful and positive reputation that samurais have that they want to shove blacks in to that history right? Samurais are known for being loyal , fearless, being honorable, choosing death before defeat and following the samurai code. ....
But did Yasuke display any of these traits? Even if you took the jesuits stories seriously, he didn't commit seppuku after Oda died which is what samurais do when their lord died, nor did he try to avenge Oda, , he was never trained to follow any code, as he was in Japan for only one year and was Oda's servant for only a few months, and he was simply returned as a slave to his jesuit handlers after Oda died and the battle that he fought he just immediately surrendered. They are trying to associate Yasuke with the positive reputation samurais have but he displayed no samurai traits.. He was really just a loser no matter what you call him
Samurai were all of those things but they were also absolute cunts, that's why it was so easy for the Japanese to make the switch to a Christian Western society because the alternative would be the majority living as literal slaves their whole lives. What would be funny is if history autists started drip feeding accounts of what the samurai got up to in their daily lives and they'd probably end up shitting bricks when they realise that's who they're trying to glorify.
Also the answer is obvious, they're history revisionists trying to spread propaganda, we saw this with the whole female vikings thing and it was only because they got mocked so ruthlessly that they stopped.
In the first place Oda was a ruthless guy that make Hitler look tame, . Oda had the philosophy of killing everyone men, women and children of enemy clans "kill them before grudges even start" was his philosophy and he proudly called himself "The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven". If leftists are going to complain about Hitler, then why would they glorify someone for serving a lord more ruthless than Hitler? Oh wait we know why, cause he's a nigger and they can't stop their nigger worship
Ah the old "there is no bad blood if there is no blood left" strategy.
Let's not get started on WW2 and the Japanese atrocities committed by the Imperial government which the 'modern' Japanese government denies to this day even happened, I really need to stop leftists don't care about historical context. Hurr durr muh honourable samurai, fucking weebs.
The modern Japanese government doesn't deny it happened they've already apologized many times, what they deny is CCP trying to exaggerate some of the war crimes.
Maybe you should research things more yourself before you make fun of others for not knowing things.
And samurais DO still have an honor code. Being ruthless doesn't mean they didn't have an honor code they follow.
Fair, man the internet has gotten shit for research lately people aren't kidding because I did look this up just now, half the time you're dealing with crappy paywalled articles from 12 years ago. Near as I can work out from the results the Japanese government itself didn't deny the Nanjing massacre but there are soldiers and scholars who still do, there's a lot of animosity between the Japanese and Chinese over stuff like that.
