The Rock has actually never ran from his race.
He goes to NAACP awards and shyt.
I remember during that first Cena feud just a few years ago, one of his promos he said some shyt like "Half Black, Half Samaon, 100 Percent Amazing" or some shyt like that.
Also, magazines and shyt :
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want him playing fukking Luke Cage or John Stewart....
Just saying, he's not a Vin Diesel, out here pretending he isn't black....
Edit : And y'all already know about his pro-black wrestling staple steez....
