Becuz he is impersonating a fukking gorilla...how old are you bro?
Are you being purposefully obtuse? A white man is imitating a Samoan man as an ape/gorilla. Do I have to spell it out for you?
Naw man I just don't get the racist overtone in it becuz first I'm black and second I'm sure Seth and Reigns are somewhat cool behind the scene since they basically spent almost 2 yrs together in city after city.
Like black people, Samoans/Pacific Islanders get 'ape, gorilla, monkey' thrown at them as slurs. That's why it was racist. The fact that they're friends has shyt to do with it. If my white friend ever called me a monkey or anything of the sort they'd get checked so quick. I don't care how long we've been friends.
This is why I don't have white friends.
what's them being friends got to do with the e greenlighting what was essentially racistNaw man I just don't get the racist overtone in it becuz first I'm black and second I'm sure Seth and Reigns are somewhat cool behind the scene since they basically spent almost 2 yrs together in city after city.
c00n rhetoric right here brehsAnd THAT'S racist....you need to grow thicker skin man

the same reason booker t didnt snuff trips during that infamous promo or how vince was able to say nig without getting his chin checked, dont be simpleIf it was racist why Roman didn't step to Seth? .
He said Roman's knuckles are bloody because he drags them on the ground like a gorilla, and then proceeded to imitate Roman by doing this
And THAT'S racist....you need to grow thicker skin man
How is that NOT racist?
yeah. i didnt have any problem with him calling dude a neanderthal because it fits, but once he listed the 3 and said Samoan in between those 3 it just came off bad...he could have said part man, part rhino, etc and it would have had the same effect he wanted, without coming off so bad.We're misquoting a bit, so I don't think we're going to have an understanding until it's corrected.
The BIG problem with Seth's promo wasn't exactly the ape imitation at all.
He was actually fine by saying that Roman's knuckles were going to bleed because he drags his knuckles on the floor....which led to the gorilla imitation. THAT was fine because Reigns was essentially the meathead brawn of the group and Seth was supposedly the brains, so dig it.....
....but then, he proceeded to get up and go.
"He's part-Gorilla..." (Me: Okay...)
"He's part-Samoan... (Me: Ok- wait...breh....WHAT?!)
....and you could tell that he caught himself and paused because he KNEW he had fukked up, so he goes...
"...and...:yikesvince: he's part-rhinoceros........but.... the thing is...rhinoceroses aren't very smart."
By then, we were all going because he basically included "Samoan" in a list of animals RIGHT after doing an ape imitation. The ape imitation itself wasn't what was wrong with it...though it was a bit extra.
