Kofi is the first black champ, Rock identifies as Samoan? Think again

[WMG the 2nd]

Family guy summed this up without me having to get in no stupid back and forth with no rock Stan

I love the rock but people really can’t be this naive to think he wasn’t smart enough to not lean too far in to being a black man during his wwe career and his movie career

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

commentary would always mention High Chief Peter Maivia way more than they'd mention Rocky Johnson, if they mention him at all.

I refuse to believe thats a coincidence

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Y’all need to stop this shyt

Anyone else that’s black in here knows Gotdamn well if we had a Race Draft and he on the board, we picking him



“The Black Delegation, with the #1 Draft pick, selects Dwayne The Rock Johnson from Hayward, California”

One of the GOAT Chappelle skits


Martha

Would he be our number one pick?

Hilarious but predictable there's hardly any discussion about Rock's new show on Black culture and black issues but this thread wide open.

I haven’t seen it is he actually on it talking race?

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Yeah right..you nyggas done sold out on Shelton and Sasha a million times for AJ and Charlotte. Now you repping for the whitest acting Blaak man this part of the United states. Carlton Banks given form...Kofi Kingston. Disgraceful.

Whitest acting black man?

The rock has literally acted in roles as a white man multple times

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Sorry whether you guys like it or not, the rock already beat him two it. Whether he's half black or not doesn't matter, he still was technically the first black WWE champion because at the end of the day, hes still half BLACK. I don't get why that is so hard to understand. Just say kofi will be the first VISUALLY looking black wwe champion and keep it moving because we all know thats what you militants are really getting at anyway

Kofi was born in Ghana
So he will be the first African world champion
So you are wrong

 

[krackdagawd]

that transcended race bullshyt completely settles any argument here. He can't even give a straight up "I'm black" statement.

"transcended race"=I don't see color.

Yeap that pretty much sums it up w him. That transcends race shyt giving off vibes the poster who compared it to "im not black im oj" is dead on.

Vince McMahon is anti Black...Samba Simba..Slick...that goofy gimmick for Ron Simmons pre nation..had Henry, MVP, and Kofi in jiggaboo red for months on end...making sure Sasha never successfully defended the belt once while Bliss had the belt yet no wrestling for weeks.

Yes, kid. It's no coincidence and you've known that for years. It's no magical revelation on such a observation.

So you are wrong

Wasnt representing Ghana for years though..lol. Proudly represents Boston though

 

[R=G]

What roles was the Rock white in? Let's contact these producers and get a quote on that?
@WMG the 2nd You saw that way because you're a pretty hater that cant take the fact he turns anything into money.

 

[R=G]

Obama is from Chicago and has made it abundantly clear he is a black man

Lol

 

[R=G]

Yes. Say it for Kofi like they did Sheamus and Khali and Jinder and Eddie/Rey/Alberto anyone else. Acknowledge the heritage.

Mark and Book ain't it they never held the company's main belt the REAL belt and we're never addressed as black/African American champs.

Rock is half black and wasn't portrayed as such. Not confused. He's mixed. They didn't address that either. I want to hear them say it.

No one is addressed as a Black Champion. Wtf are you talking about? The build to this match is about him being against the odds..not some momentous countdown to him being a Black Champion that does spot wrestling. Lol. Absurd.

 

[Rell Lauren]

The Rock can say what he wants. The WWE never marketed him a Black champion. He was always Samoan.

 

[R=G]

I'm still waiting for these dikk ryders for Kingston to tell me how the Rock isnt a Black man when he HAS A BLACK FATHER

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Would he be our number one pick?

I haven’t seen it is he actually on it talking race?

Depends on who’s on the board that draft

Or would you rather draft buddy from CNN or Cardi B?

[Novembruh]

Damn. Getting real emotional in here.

(FYI: Walking Tall - Rock's first real leading role? White man. Skyscraper and San Andreas? Obviously playing a white/racially ambiguous man just based on the actors chosen as his children.
Also, anyone with eyes can note the dramatic difference in color on Dwayne from when he was living as a pro-wrestler with hair, to when he's living as a moving boulder in films now. Let's not act like we can't see what is apparent. Bruh is half-black. Yes. But there is a difference between what you are, and what you choose to represent yourself as. If you pick up and put down a culture when it's convenient for you, that culture should have no obligation to accept you at all times. Because you aren't doing the same thing. Reciprocity.)

That being said, we all know Kofi isn't gonna win the title because this company ain't shyt. And if he does, they're just gonna pat themselves on the back for it, like they deserve some praise for 'letting' someone with melanin sit atop their mountaintop, holding their... what? Third most important title? Nah. They don't get praise for that. Ol' "I'm hella late, but I mean, I showed up, so, you're welcome!"-ass bullshyt. WCW for all its failings had multiple black champions. TNA for all its failings had multiple black champions. One of those companies has been dead for damn near 20 years, and the other one has felt like it should have been dead for damn near 20 years. You don't get props for finally hopping on the train. Nah.

I'll praise Kofi for staying true and managing to get a chance. Especially if he manages it before the normal Vince-style mafukkas like Lashley. That's that company man shyt. That making something out of nothing shyt. That understanding you gotta work twice as hard to get half as far, so you work 4x as hard so you can get where you tryna be shyt. Kofi out here working his ass off, and I salute the man even knowing he ain't leaving WM with that belt. But I'm not going to praise that company. Pass.
