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

[agpxknt]

HE'S NOT BLACK!!!!!!!

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

He will turn into Malcolm X when he gets his wake up call

 

[Roid Jones]

Who cares

This

 

[Roid Jones]

Sometimes after sustained success these guys get woke

Hell the Rock is about to star as Black Adam....the name is Black!

But Coli brehs said mixed race is not black

 

[King P]

Actions speak louder than words. Every role he takes is non black. Now what type of black man would do this?

He has taken roles where he plays a Black man. He's playing John Henry in a Netflix movie. And guess what? People got angry because The Rock is too racially ambiguous to play a Black person, and therefore is taking away a role that could go an actual Black actor

What do y'all want him to do?

 

[Counter Racist Male]

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

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).

Maxwell had a whole music video by the ocean or something like that that represented the struggle of patience trying to get into the Dominican Republic

Oh, that's right, it's a new year. Gotta get the annual "The Rock doesn't claim his blackness" thread out the way.

Even though the Rock has always identified as exactly what he is, half black and half Samoan. Outside of daps, if you created this thread for meaningful discussion, please give us examples of what it means to "embrace blackness." What kind of behavior is he not engaging in that he should be.


What exactly should The Rock be doing that he's not doing that apparently all the other black celebrities are doing?

Acting ignorant and wearing fitteds and chains and appearing in rap videos and black lives matters rallys

 

[Dave24]

@Swagnificent what do you think on this?

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Bruh...the man purposely casts kids and wives that dont look black....

Well He’s married nonblack women and his actual kids don’t look black sooo ....

Has he ever been in movie where his parents are white?​

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

He talked about his dad all the time.

He even said he’s the reason he takes his diet and exercise so seriously.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

The rock got somoan bloodline all throughout the wrestling industry so of course he's connected more to his mother side than his dad side.

I never got vibe that dude hates his father tho.

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?

This makes no sense. Hispanic isn't a race. David Ortiz is Hispanic and he black as hell. JJ Barea is Hispanic and he white as hell. You talking about his hair. Black people have different hair textures and some are more mixed than others. The Rock looks like a lightskinned black man more than anything.

 

[xXOGLEGENDXx]

Become the biggest movie star in the world due to ambiguity awkwardly try and become pro black and lose opportunities


Man he aint doing that

 

[iamduval]

That's wrong. When the Rock debuted, he was Rocky Maivia. They pushed him as the grandson of High Chief Peter Maivia.

Yep. Didn’t catch heat until he joined the Nation and became a heel.
