He doesn't look angry and it's a low quality BW photo. We can do better.
Tired forever.
Supporting pull.
What is this "sleep" you speak of?
While I can't really mistake him for female, he neither looks angry nor black. Also, this is not a trope for real people to be pictured, unless it's not offensive, and actually describes the trope.

Considering the lack of "black" and "angry" and the poor image quality...
Pulled
That was a...rather quick pull.
Hmm, probably a bit too fast - put it back?

Hi
Good example, bad pic. I thought there was at least one other posted in the original thread that would've worked better...no time to research right now.

Huey is absolutely perfect for a page image of this. The Black Panthers may be an example, but I prefer page images being for media rather than real life.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!
I feel that this trope is about Afro-Americans and the like, and that doesn't look like this.
Liberal white people will attempt to befriend him, but he will have none of it, seeing as even being friends with white people as a betrayal to his race.
Barret doesn't do any of that, as far as I can recall.
It's just not enough to be angry and black to be an Angry Black Man; you also have to be, apparently, a conspiracy theorist as well.
And I'm still extremely uncomfortable with the use of RL people, especially when the description is so on the border of tut-tutting the character archetype for being overly paranoid.

My main argument against using a RL example is that this being TV Tropes, we're supposed to be cataloguing and analysing tropes in fiction rather than real life. In the event of choosing between a real life picture or one from fiction that is just as good, we should always be leaning towards the latter.
Hi
Huey would be the best overall option...the first panel of 4.2 is my favorite.

I'd rather put up another Huey, myself. At least he's a fictional character we wouldn't be, y'know, libeling.
Hi
Clock is set.
Hi
Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
The image on this page used to be a cartoon; it was pulled per previous IP thread, though said thread was closed without a new pic due to lack of consensus.
rlkitterman has put up a new image without a new IP thread. Worse (to me), it's of a RL person; I am extremely uncomfortable with passing judgment on RL people like that (heck, I'm thinking we should be taking a closer look at the RL section - if only to weed out those who don't act just as the description has it - but that's irrelevant for this forum).
Should it be yanked?
