Rock is arguably the most famous person on the planet and is very protective of his likeness and especially his image.

That shirt doesn't make it on set much less in a picture he's in that he then posts to social media without his consent.


This is interesting. Twitter comments and Instagram comments are going exactly how you'd expect at the sight of those three words.

If that shirt shows up on the actual show, then it was worn to get nikkas watching and to get a feeling of authenticity. There's always one ignorant nikka talking about BLM when they congregate nowadays.

Secondly, Rock is literally distancing himself from this dude just like he does from black issues in general.

I really don't get what y'all want outta rock when it comes to his black side. Y'all reach like a mofukka. "Oh he's standing away from the guy with the BLM shirt. He's a c00n."

"he doesn't talk about black issues. He's an uncle Tom"

Do y'all see how silly you sound. If rock took a picture next to the guy y'all would say it was fake.

Rock constantly bigs up black culture. Black music. Black figures. And of course his dad and his importance to black wrestling history. He doesn't tackle black issues but why does he need to? It's not his lane. Y'all need to stop investing into celebs as if they are the gospel.

With that said he has a strong connection to his Samoan side. But doesn't mean he distances himself from his other half.

Dwayne literally one of the most coolest and humble dudes and y'all steady reaching with this rock and his black side mess.

Most of this is people trolling to try to irritate R=G . Just look at the thread about Rock giving his dad a car for Christmas. The thread took a pathetic turn.

I'm a huge Rock fan. IMO, he can continue doing whatever he's been doing in regards to these matters. Grandstanding on social media isn't the only way to make a difference.

Most of the posts in here are reacting to the thread title that has little to nothing to do with the IG link in the post :heh:

In here yes it was.

Some was said. And implied.

I'm speaking in general. All of that stuff has been said.

It's more than implied. People here were calling him Uncle Tom Johnson and a bunch of other corny nicknames.

Meanwhile there are clowns in here sticking up for people who dressed in blackface and made comments mocking nappy hair.

Nobody said he should, we're just saying he doesn't. Two different things.

But that one story Ahmed told about him backstage...:comeon:
