Sure, it's easy here in 2011 to say "that's racist". But guys, Tyroc was a hero, the first black hero that I was exposed to. Suddenly, black people weren't all gangsters and thugs usually being used by some white supervillain because they were too naive to see through his (usually) tissue-paper thin plot.

Okay so it's racist, but at the time it opened my eyes just a little bit more than they had been.
