Will the Rock at some point start really embracing his blackness?

I’m torn on this, cuz when he first came out Vince had him in the black wrestler clique. And he didn’t really blow up until they pushed the Samoan angle. So I can’t really fault him from learning from experience.
But that's not true. He started as Rocky Maivia first. They played up his Samoan heritage. THEN they turned him heel and threw him in the Nation.

See the Samoan gimmick wasn't working. The crowd hated him until he turned black.

He would be described as Hispanic/Arabic/Hawaiian, etc. Definitely not black. The first time I saw The Rock I sure as hell didn’t think he was.
Nah back in nation days he looked black. He looked like a straight Miami baller with Rolex’s and dress shirts(If you ever been to Miami)

Everyone sees what they want to see, breh - whatever. He doesn’t look black at all to me in those pictures. If anything, he looks more Hispanic with that hair. At the end of the day, who cares?

Stop trying to claim and reel in people who dont wanna claim you. It's embarrassing like grasping at straws alsmost :snoop:

That's one of the major issues i often have with my own people (Haitians). They always trying to reach for those who have never represented or claimed or acknowledged us. From Usher to Maxwell to Black Griffin to Dave Dove (De La Soul).
Yoooo that reminds me of this video from back in the day

The Rock looks a lot more black than he does any of those other nationalities. On top of his name being Duane Johnson.
To be fair they did let him play Hercules :patrice:

I can't imagine they would let Samuel L Jackson or even Will Smith play Hercules

I accept the Rock as what he calls himself--half black and half Samoan.

You gotta admit the guy looks ambiguous as hell. That's his whole appeal aside from his charisma. He's kinda like Cliff Curtis.

I wouldn't bat an eye if they had the Rock play a Hispanic, Arab, or Hawaiian. That's the beauty of of it all.

Right, Rocky miavia or whatever was fukking terrible. The only person worse was when John Cena was introduced and he was fukking terrible too:mjlol::mjlol:

But his time in the Nation was short lived too if we being honest :usure:

There will eventually come a time when it benefits him, and he'll be blackity black. Watch.


Also, I hate to be that guy, but most indigenous pacific islanders are what we in the USA would call "black" if we saw them on the street. American Samoa and Hawaii are somewhat whitewashed because of white American colonization, but if you start researching their pre-colonial kings/queens, you'll find brehs/brehettes. Places like Fiji, Melanesia (it's even in the name!), and papua new guinea, and many more Pacific islands are still very very "black". Melanated people are indigenous to the entire world, but they told us we only came from so-called Sub-Saharan Africa. Not to derail the thread, but I'm in a stream of consciousness mode this morning.
I’m surprised nobody brought up phenotypes and genotypes after this post
:heh:

so are you going to provide us with the rant of the first episode of raw you watched, featuring the rock.

as a lot of the talk in this thread.
do not match the timeline.
all i see is a bunch of backlash from rock stans on this board gone awry.

if you did not grow up in one of the three segregated major city.

I have a hard time.
listening to people talk about all this pro black shyt.
when now I do not live in a major segregated city.
I see most of the people in the world outside of that lack any black nationalism.
let alone actual culture.

so people outside of the three major cities. Where is this pool of black nationalism.

that makes your socialization so infused with black nationalism.

as i see people born outside of the three major fully urban segregated cities.
do not really feature black nationalism on a level. To create these so-called pockets of these black nationalism infused black people.


I do not even see any hiphop culture based bboys and bgirls. So when or where?
did these people gain all this culture to be pro black. When they are devoid of black nationalism. Have no cultural gateway and no cultural register.


most of y'all on this board white afflicted and have no culture or black nationalism.

nikkaz not even old chuck d and pe fans.

yet you so woke.

how sway....how??


I sure can't fukk'n tell.



art barr


tired of you fake woke nikkaz.
that never even been in a black bookstore.
yet watching propaganda movies on a government network talembout they woke. nikka shut Cho fake pagan hotep ass up.
