– The Rock responded to a fan on Twitter who said the Great One identified and was booked as Samoan in WWE, taking the opportunity to set him straight. The conversation sparked from a few Twitter users who were commenting the current Kofi Kingston storyline as “Vince McMahon is going to extraordinary lengths to stop a black man becoming champion.” Someone brought up the rock, which led to a comment that Rock “identifies as Samoan in WWE and was booked that way after Nation days.”

That brought Rocky in, as you can see below:

No matter what they do with Kofi, the Rock is the first Black Champion in WWF/E history.

Cool for him to care to acknowledge it but I havent seen himself identify as anything but samoan for the passed like 20 years lol

But then again I haven't cared to read every little thing the rock has done so...

 

[Silkk]

Can't lie. That "I transcended race" part sounds like "I'm not black, I'm OJ"

When has he identified as Samoan all these years? When, where, how? You speak in code and never back up what up you're talking about..Booker T and Kofi are out here tap dancing like slaves and you act like their your fukking heroes...I've send that. I damn sure havent seen the Rock deny he's Black. Just a narrative for the lazy types around here to bytch about...the Rock outworked everyone and became more successful than anyone in history.

You know what he means..everyone sees him as the Rock. Not as a color. Just like Jordan. No one sees him as Black. They see him as the greatest basketball player ever.

Op has waited his entire life to make this thread

Yeah I get it, and I actually agree with him. No one looks at him and sees a black man first, they see "The Rock" which is why he's able to do shyt like cast a blue eyed white girl as his daughter and people just go

Exactly.

He's not black he's The Rock.

He was not the first black WWF champ, because he transcended race.

Kofi has no transcending race opportunities. Kofi is black. Kofi would be the first WWE champion.

And no, everyone does not know the Rock is half black. I knew kids back in the day who thought he was straight up white, forget even being an islander.

The Rock gotta keep it g real and acknowledge that his racial ambiguity has played a huge role in his career, and afforded him opportunities a fully black man wouldn't have had.

It is what it is.

He also panders super hard to conservatives nowadays.

He's playing the game its all good. But don't act surprised when people see it

Well that's how the cookie crumbles...just how it is. No one had to buy his ticket to go see that blue eyed white girl be his daughter though

No doubt

I was thinking the same thing. I was ok with the statement up until that. Nothing transcends race.

 

[R=G]

Exactly.


He's not black he's The Rock.

Kofi has been a dancing goofball who pretended to be from Jamaica who threw his voice because he wasnt proud that lily white city of Boston...Kofi Kingston let Blandy punk the shyt out of him like he was a hoe ass bytch. Blandy WOULD NEVER TRY that with the Rock..with Shelton...with Lashley..with Ron Simmons...but Kofi? Hes just a whitenized black kid who hangs around two charismatic cats...before them? He was struggling. Doing nothing..being a tag nobody.


He had no balls or manhood so you're right...he cant transcend being black or anything else. He was weak, stupid, and a comedy act.


A fully Black man can do anything the Rock can do if he creates his own lane but Kofi, Booker T are followers...Booker used to copy the Rock all the time as WCW Champion. Kofi does that fake Peoples Elbow leg drop bullshyt..been doing it since day one. I dont hear silly ass crying and bytching from these butter cups who couldnt cut it and make it work like Rocky did. We've seen the shoots from Mark Henry..they tried to put feces in the Rock's food. They've been jealous of this guy backstage for a long time..seems the sissified hipster black fanbase today who relies on iPhones and shyt are the very same way.


Kofi can have his moment but he'll never be great and never be half the man that the Rock is.

 

[The Great One]

Cool so Kofi will be the 1st black champion.

Rock is the 1st half Samoan half black champion.
