that they are fine there, kids know them, adults know them and they all ave held some gold
I see so what your trying to say that they should stay there forever and not given a chance to be top guy.

Growing up I never thought he was Black. Especially in the 90s, when he first came out. He looked more Samoan than Black. And I didn't find out until years later. Most people didn't think he was Black. My parents used to think he was Latino. And people that I used to work with at my past job who were avid wrestling fans still didn't know he was Black until I told them. Talking about "he doesn't look Black, I never knew". Plus you're right, I've never really seen him talk about his Black side like that.
I mean technically he can be considered Black, but it's pointless to bring it up when the E doesn't see him as such

Funny that you say that, because I used to think Kurt was mixed too, and I'm still partially convinced he is.
He's got that ambiguous look, kinda like Vin Diesel and Kris Humphries, both of who are part Black. He skin is kinda beige. And he's got a "Black" nose. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a quadroon.

glad i wasnt the only one that noticed
You have done the same to me. I have never said anything about the current crop of guys should be champion. I have just said what I alway said which is if they prove themselves then they deserve a shot at being the face. The WWE track record has shown then even when a black character is popular enough they don't get the shot excluding the rock. Hell they even do it Hispanic wrestlers only giving them the championships on the B show.

first it was
they dont get treated like the rock did (eg booker t, mizzark)

The Rock was to big to ignore and was going to outgrow the WWE anyway that is only once in a lifetime that happens so they saw a way to make tons of money off him.
I have never made those claims about Kofi and Shelton those were other posters we are not homogenized and will have different opinions on the subjuct you just happen to be on the other side of it.
And it is true what ever belt is on the RAW show that champ is the face of the company name the last black person not named the Rock to have it. Hell name one Spanish person.

only joking
but back to the last thing you said, i thought all rasslers are on raw and smackdown so its not divided anymore, so the last spanish/messican person was i guess del rio? was he not both on smackdown and raw? sure its the heavyweight belt but still its something, the wwe belt has had cena, bryan and orton in the last few months, maybe wwe feel that those guys draw more? i dunno but in way are the wwe trying to make the main black stars "grill-wearing, thuggish B-listers" (from the main article) like c'mon man when u see kofi, mizzark and langston, who the hell sees that? those guys are good in teh ring, Rtruth doesnt even come across that way to me even tho he raps but he's been doing that for a long time anyway. again i only see big e langston working his way to the top
