So lemme get this straight. Everyone is enraged the current golden boy didn’t say a disparaging word against his employer? :russ:

Come on now people. Is he wrong? Yes. Is he living in ignorance? Yes. But what do you expect? This is akin to looking for racists shyt on the internet just so you can get mad. You know reigns isn’t going to be fully thoughtful on the subject or say what you believe or what you want him to say. That’s like being mad at the sun for shining.
He easily could have said nothing. Don't say some nonsense about how Vince rewards "good people". Especially when Roman himself has been arrested and has a Wellness Violation.

You’re right he could’ve said nothing. But he’s “the big dog” and no one is going to tell him about himself or tell him to chill. You can’t expect humility or self awareness from people who have their asses kissed on the reg

This is why our whole outrage culture is funny to me. I don’t expect anything from celebs if that’s not their field. Could Roman have said something insightful? Yes he could’ve and that would’ve been dope. But he didn’t. So I’m not going to be mad at his ignorance because I don’t expect him not to be, as unfair as that may sound. He waded into a very thorny debate that demands thought, nuance, grace, and not towing the company line. What has he shown you in 5 or 6 years to let you believe he’s capable of that?

Company man does company man things. What he said was complete horseshyt but I'm not surprised, upset, or disappointed.

I will say that he needs to better script his politically correct corporate answers better IF he wants to partake in these kinds of discussions.

the WWE does not have an issue with promoting minorities...they have an issue promoting Black Wrestlers.

there are no Black Wrestlers currently in the main event picture and there hasnt been one in awhile.

WWE makes plays for every damn demographic/country they can

-Japan
-China
-Middle East
-India
-Mexico/Latinos
-Various EU countries

Meanwhile for black folks......

So Shelton Benjamin isn't a good human being? Sasha Banks not a good human being? MVP not a good human being? R Truth not a good human being? Kofi Kingston not a good human being? Big E not a good human being? :mjlol:
Lol...They had to go back to 2011 with a Mark Henry reference:laugh:

As for good human beings? Randy Orton is a fukking scumbag who abandoned the armed forces and got popped for roids. They gave this weird hick over 10 title reigns but SHELTON BENJAMIN..the guy that Lesnar said "If he's not getting signed, im not signing" A genetic freak in the business. He's not good enough? Lol. Roman is a trip.

heres what i said in the shane taylor thread
Rock wasn' promoted as Samoan. Why are nyggas acting like WM 13 And the Nation turn didn't happen?:laugh: These Booker T apologists are hilarious . And he blew up as Rock wannabe...He's the last nygga u should be trying to ride for. Crazy.

Someone find the white privilege promo with Booker and Cripple H. He fired Booker T a few years ago on Raw and then after he got up and left, he said I'm just kidding. Lol. What a Hall of famer. They would never try that with Rock or Austin.
