Is the Rock/Dwayne Johnson an “Honorary White” now?

[Chelsea Bridge]

What is even the point of this thread? Everyone knows the space Rock is in. He's in a special ambiguous bubble only he can be in.

Him and Vin diesel

The People’s c00n is a republican, why is this surprising?

That stuff he says about Kevin hart makes me agree with you

 

[BigL187]

according to logic a person is either white or they're not

 

[JerseyBoy23]

You don't think Dwayne dictates how his characters are portrayed on film? I say he "transitioned" around 2002-2003. The blackest thing about him is his name, Dwayne Douglas Johnson.

His character in Gridiron Gang had a black mom I think but I get your point.

Am I missing something? Wasn't that Will in Hancock?

And focus with ole girl that play Harley Quinn

 

[Fanservice]

Mekhi Phiper, Taye Diggs, Idris Elba? Not even Will Smith

Cant imagine a black actor being allowed to star in a movie with a white actress as a couple

Didn't will Smith do that in Hancock?

 

[humminbird]

he is until he isn't

I hate to say it but i see a lot of similarities with him and OJ in his fame years.
He better watch out.

How old are you?

The Rock has been the male poster boy for “racially ambiguous” character for awhile. It is what it is.

100 Rifles was one of the first films to show a black man & white Woman romantically involved

It came out in 1969

 

[BlackJesus]

So what? Are you jealous he's accepted by whites and hollywood OP? Only reason I can see you caring.

And he's not the only black or biracial actor who gets casted with white women. Both Denzel and Will Smith routinely get those roles.

But again nobody cares

 

[big bun]

Y’all complain about every damn thing.

So he had a black mom in the prison football movie ? Interesting...

 

[Vandelay]

I get the argument, but this is kinda low on totem pole of issues. Hancock already did this first anyway.

It's rare you see a black man with a white woman in movies, because it usually doesn't test well with both white and black audiences. Black men by and large don't really care about vice versa...except on here apparently. Not sure if this is thread worthy.

The jury is still out on the Rock.

Emily Blunt should've been Captain Marvel.
