Who the hell is nobody? Rock considers himself Black and Samoan because its a fact, there's no debate about this. There's zero dispute or controversy.
then why dont we consider him the first ever black wwe champion then?

To clarify, the WWE audience didn't perceive the Rock as a Black athlete. And I think Rock influenced Vince to add Owen Hart to the Nation in order to distance himself form the "Black stable".

Rock is a Black man, but his WWE branding was distinct from every other character that is ostensibly Black identified as Black.

WHO THE HELL Is .....WE? He is the only WWE Champ of any Black descent! ...huh.. He's Half Black this isn't up for debate. Does they have to write 50% Black on his next t-shirt or something. He is the 1st and Only Black WWE Champion. hopefully that will change one day.

First, let me make it clear that these aren't my views. Rock is a Brotha. Obama is a Brotha.

But perceptions as we all now are easily manipulated in politics and entertainment.

Let's think back almost 7 years ago to the presidential election: White liberals were claiming that Obama wasn't "only" or "merely" Black, that he was also "White". On progressive radio they said, "Why can't we call him the first multi-racial president?" "Why does it even matter that he had a Black father. He had a White mother."

If race-logic made sense, racists would have nothing to do.

We consider our president to be black, but he's half. We don't consider The Rock to be black, but he's half. :obama:

The Rock's black. Get the fukk over it. :snoop:

This shyt is insane..Halle Berry is Black despite having a White mother and everyone has to see her as Black..that's what Hollywood sees her as. Alicia Keys is Black..Italian mother or not. That's how she's looked at and identified. The Rock doesn't hide from being Black..brings the shyt up all the time it seems these days. He's VERY proud of his grandfather though and that's just the way it is...dude isn't gonna apologize for that. hahaha. The Rock came up in a Black militant staple when he turned heel..WTF:laugh::laugh: Owen joined because the Rock made it more about entertainment than race...it's called "progression".
