:russ:From this thread these are the movies. The Rock actually played a black character in.
  1. Be Cool
  2. G.I. Joe Retaliation
  3. Why Did I Get Married 2
  4. Walking Tall
  5. The Nation of Domination era Rock
What I’m missing?

Most of these committees clear it with the honoree first before announcing them as recipients. You wouldn’t honor somebody you know wouldn’t come to your event. You would just honor somebody different.
:yeshrug:
I’d bet $100, somebody on the committee got an email from The Rock’s people asking them to consider him and provided “incentives” to get it done.
:patrice:
I’m not trying to discredit all of these types of events, but why give Dwayne an award like this? There are probably dozens of actors you haven’t awarded yet and you choose the Rock?
:mjlol:
That shyt is bought and paid for.
:russ:
I remember on some award show Tamia was honored. I love Tamia but she has maybe 3 commercial hits. Albums didn’t go platinum. Why honor her? Them committees be doing the most.
:what:

Which would most likely make his dad Black-American because that is where most of underground railroad escapees settled.
You basing this off his ancestors being Black Loyalists or straight lineage?
'Cause I gotta know how long one gotta be away for changes to occur that one was and no longer is.

I’ll tell you why.

It’s a business and they have to sell passes.

These dudes are mixed Lavar Ball types...they just mad hes been ultra successful this whole time out...Will Smith out here looking stupid with his wack ass concerts and gay ways...Rock is basically worshipped...his tequila success alone the last 3 years is next level.

Where’s the c00n vibes yall getting from him


He’s never spoke down on black people and has said Black Lives Matter before in a video


And also said he’s proud to Black just as he is proud to be Samoan in a tweet before


I’m I missing something :patrice:
He’s just a shameless fence sitter. He rather stay racially ambiguous so more people will see his movies and support his brand.


“It doesn’t matter if I’m black or Samoan as long as you see Moana live action in theaters and imax July 10th:mjgrin:
