The Year in Black Cinema Box Office: 33+ Films Released Theatrically (How Many of Have You Seen?)

[Bryan Danielson]

The Rock identifies as black?

Yes.... I saw an interview where a black wrestler was talking about the Rock... and he himself confirms it.... he basically said that Rock himself sees himself as a black man and he's more black than a lot of peeps would think behind scenes

Also I've seen Sapp and Ray Lewis give Rock that Black respect.

 

[TheGodling]

The Rock is half-black, half-Samoan, but how him leading San Andreas makes that a "black movie" is some dumb-ass logic.

Well, black cinema made a silent comeback in 2015.

I watched Creed and SoC.

what the fuk does that even mean? From what understand Rocky Johnson wasn't even full blooded himself so you have a mixed race cat having a kid with a Samoan and you still call that kid black? Rock is going to identify himself as whatever is easiest for Hollywood to place him. Just find it funny that this so called guy that identifies himself as black is still yet to do a movie having a black wife, mother, brother or family



The hell do Sapp and Lewis co-signing him got to do with anything, are we going to act like there isn't a history of thirsty AAs claiming anyone with 1% of African DNA as "black"

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

I've seen:

Straight Outta Compton
Creed
Dope
Beasts Of No Nation
Rubble Kings

Catching The Black Panthers doc next month - they've been showing it at a cinema up here on and off for the past couple of months.

I dont know breh... I just saw an interview.... I guess you'll have to just go to a crappy WWE event.... find the black wrestler, see if you can get close to him and as him yourself.

Those were pretty much his words not mine as he was someone that actually worked and rolled with the Dwayne Johnson for years.


He's not like a fan or etc that only knows Dwayne via tv or occasional articles that never reflect the real truth

Also... when it comes to casting... as big as maybe the Rock is now..... he's still just "an actor" and let be real.... I'm not sure this guy has really any pull on who his actresses and actors are. He aint Leo, Will, Cruise, Pitt, etc. I dont think he has that political power to say "oh this is who you're casting, fukk that change it or I'm out" (that smiley is my illustration of Rock failedly talking to an exec... not coming at you)

Hell Will couldnt get Django changed for him... the fukk Rock gonna get changed for him? And why would one not do something thats gonna guarantee make him millions and increase his celebrity status in the process?

No need to blame him for shyt not under his control or his job for that matter

At the end of the day, I think its fair to say that the one thing he doesnt consider himself is WHITE
