It's always fascinating when white people are more than happy to call someone black until it would be to their benefit, then they start with the genealogy bullshit. EDIT: Like Obama was referred to as black in a negative fashion until someone said "Our first black President" or he spoke about racial inequality, then suddenly it's all "Well, he's only half-black" or "He's not even black!" EDIT v2: And did these people say a goddamn word back when WWE made Kofi pretend he was Jamaican and speak in an accent? Pope Corky the IX fucked around with this message at 18:20 on May 31, 2019 |

"Rock doesn't count" is a very stupid take I'll agree to that but uh how the hell does Kofi not count?

Gumball Gumption posted:He's African and not an American descended from slaves which means he doesn't count because *waves hands wildly*  okay I think I get what they were going for, they were trying to expose the inherent hypocrisy of gatekeeping the Rock's race while celebrating Kofi's but.

I mean, there is a legitimate difference between descendant of slaves and Africans in terms of culture and self perception and it is a topic of conversation in the black community but it's also not something that disqualifies blackness, only quantifies it

Its just baffling to me in this case because this is Vince we're talking about. No way he recognizes the differences considering he gave Kofi a Jamaican gimmick for years.

I love that Kofi only got to drop the Jamaican gimmick and be Ghanaian because of the works cup

I, too, conflate the direction of the company and the actual on-screen product with a few out of character, off-show interviews one wrestler did can't believe they constantly talked about WWE during the entirety of double or nothing why is moxley not furthering his storyline, on some podcasts

Are we going to ignore the whole "Daniel Bryan effect" thing as if the reason for his potential as the next big thing not being realised wasnt him being sidelined for years for medical reasons but evangelical fans?

Yes because even outside of that Dbry was the best wrestler in the world for several years running before punk started calling himself best in the world (and then bryan stole his gimmick as a teller of truth) and we know old man vince doesnt react well to people who made it with the fans before he got his hands on them
