I wondered the same thing when I saw the trailer, rock is obviously a dude with some issues.

His brother in "Faster" was white as well. I was a little curious about that.

Bean Bag Buccaneers is a two player children's game, the object of which is to pick up your treasure chest on the central island and sail back safely.

Each player has a giant sailing ship as their main game piece. Each ship has a removable sail, two trigger-action side panels, and a huge spring-driven cannon. Players take turns moving forward along a prescribed track and shooting bean bags at their opponent's ship. A hit on one of the side panels will force it to pop off and give the player a free shot at the other side; a hit forcing the sail off becalms the ship for a turn.

To add to the pirate flavor, each player also has an eye patch. Wearing these will slightly affect depth perception and add a marginal bit of sport to the shooting.

This game retailed for the somewhat impressive sum of $16 back in 1962. With its huge plastic ships (close to a foot long), giant vinyl play mat, and the eye patches, it may well stand as one of the more overproduced games of the early 1960s.

anyone that knows his ancestry is going to look at that movie with the face. it's just hollywood's continued dismissal of black people as viable big screen draws, racism at its ugliest.

"you can't have a black son. they [white people] won't come to see the film. we can't show a black man being a black father. that just won't fly."

he's racially ambiguous. He's black/samoan

Players struggle to survive the Stone Age by working as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers. As you gather resources and grow your population, you work to build the tools needed to build your civilization.

Players use up to 10 tribe members each in 3 phases. In the first phase, players place their men in regions of the board that they think will benefit them, including the hunt, the trading center, or the quarry. In the second phase, the starting player activates each of his staffed areas in whatever sequence he chooses, followed in turn by the other players. In the third phase, players must have enough food available to feed their populations, or they face losing resources or points.

I'm sure people based their decision on whether to see the film or not on the race of The Rock's son.

I think you should have a bigger problem with the Rock being seen as a black man instead of what he actually is.

I taught they were foster brothers

he's black and samoan. that's black, to me. *shrug* he certainly wouldn't have a son that looks like the kid in that movie, even if the mother was white.

If his son was black then he could not possibly be a sympathetic misguided youth that fell into trouble
