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

[Dave24]

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

What about when will smith was the biggest star in the world? Will smith didnt need to be racially ambiguous to accomplish that?

 

[Silver Surfer]

He got nominated for a NAACP award....he posted on his IG....I wonder if he will show

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Hes only part black I don't expect anything from him so long as he's not shyting on us

I didn't say being ambiguous is the formula that works for everybody. It works for the Rock. So he isn't going to change. Will Smith is different from the Rock.

 

[feelosofer]

The Rock's career has benefitted from being racially ambiguous but he has claimed both ends of his heritage. I don't need every Black celebrity to be pro-Black if that's not what they truly believe, the Rock has his lane and that's ok.

 

[satam55]

Lmao, no he doesn’t. Not at all. Dude don’t even have black hair. And you wouldn’t know his damn name on an APB. And name is irrelevant anyway. There are white Jewish men named Tyrone and Jamal. Are they black too by your logic?

Both of Russell Wilson’s parents are black, and he don’t even have black hair

Uhhhh...You might want go watch the 2005 film "Be Cool":

That was a wig bruh

 

[Swagnificent]

That boy hates black people and want nothing to do with us

The Rock has never downplayed his blackness of denied he was black. He's always gone out of his way to mention he's half-black when retarded white people have tried to be slick. Everyone in wrestling knew his dad. He was in the Nation of Domination.

You just got a problem cause he had wide appeal and wasn't being typecast in streotypically black roles.

What for, when he looks European or something..

Met the guy in person. Just because he's not outspoken on his ethnicity doesn't mean he's not pro black. He's probably one of the most down to earth celebrities you'll ever meet and if you're African American, he'll probably reach out to you first. I can also tell you that Vin Diesel is lowkey on some Harvey Weinstein shyt. He and Tyrese spend most their time using their bragging rights to get p*ssy. Him and Kevin Hart are opposite in personalities.

 

[CHICAGO]

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.

FALSE...

WHEN HE 1ST CAME OUT
HE WAS ROCKY MAIVIA
THE GRANDSON OF THE LATE CHIEF
PETER MAIVIA.
HE FLOPPED & EVERYONE HATED HIM
EVEN THO HE WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A GOOD GUY.


HE DIDNT HAVE THE ROCK BOTTOM,
THE PPLS ELBOW,
THE PPLS EYEBROW
AND THE CATCH PHRASES
UNTIL VINCE PUT HIM IN THAT "BLACK WRESTLER CLICK"

JOINING "THE NATION" SAVED HIS CAREER
AND GOT HIM POPPING.

You don't see him and think, there's goes a breh

If you didn't know his pops you wouldn't bother

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

The Rock only claims black when in benefits him.

Goes both ways. If the rock wasn’t famous or rich, most nikkas would say he’s corny

You don't see him and think, there's goes a breh

If you didn't know his pops you wouldn't bother

I wouldn’t think European either. I would peg him as blasian or islander
