Maybe

No. He is only half black and identifies as a samoan

The Rock stopped identifying as black in the context of WWE long before he won the WWE championship. He dropped the associations he had with NoD and was booked exclusively as a Samoan superstar when he started getting pushed.
I want to see someone ask him about it in an interview. Do it for the lulz.

Genetically, yes, if you consider Barack Obama to be the first black president. But he identifies as Samoan so who knows if we should really cpunt it. The debate always immediately comes to this. I count it because he's technically black. It shouldn't matter what color someone is anyway. The black people clamoring to see blacks everywhere are promoting racism by trying to push for one color of people to be favored over the rest, rather than trying to stop racism and have everyone judged on their merits (i.e. the champ draws the most dimes, best in the ring, best on the mic, etc.).

>. The black people clamoring to see blacks everywhere are promoting racism by trying to push for one color of people to be favored over the rest
That's your take-away?
Historically, WWE has had a glass ceiling for black talent. It's hard to argue when the only arguably black WWE champion notoriously doesn't identify as black and you have a history of creative shittng out stuff like Cryme Tyme and HHH's People Like You promo.

He's not because it's all about the perception and no one sees The Rock as a black guy.

Your argument would be valid if guys like Booker T and Bobby Lashley had gotten a run with the belt in WWE. Vince is a racist bro.

>blacks everywhere are promoting racism
blacks cannot be racist only White people can be racist

This kike again?

Blacks are literally the most racist and abundant people on Earth.

>Cryme Tyme
comedy act playing on popular stereotypes that two black people were perfectly fine with portraying

>Triple H promo
unironically worked

The bad guy on a TV show said a bad thing. Don't blame the writers, blame the bad guy. Imagine if every time a villain said something bad in a move, you were like, "Holy shit I can't believe the writing team wrote that" instead if disliking the villain for saying it. It makes no sense at all. Triple H is a racist asshole in character so he said a racist thing. Duh.

When has anyone black ever qualified for a world championship outside of The Rock, Mark Henry, or Booker T within the last 20 years? Kofi will hopefully win it too. Every black wrestler who's been good enough has won it in recent memory. It's just that there aren't all that many high-level black wrestlers in world championship contention in WWE. Ricochet's awesome but he's not gonna be in contention any time soon. The company not being racist is the precise reason so few black guys have been champion. Only three have qualified so far and they don't go out of their way to crown unqualified guys just for their skin color.

racism = institutional power + prejudice, therefore in the united states only white people can be racist, other races can be prejudice but without institutional power their prejudice cannot be considered racism

Stop changing the definition of a word to suit your agenda, you disgusting kike.

Yeah, nothing screams more fake than having someone named after a rock

>Booker T

Got put in the HOF does it really matter he wasn't champ? Had the WHC too.

>Lashley

Got put in a Mania match with Vince and Trump don't think he can complain

You're right. But the racist fuckwads on this board wont listen.

thats your subjective definition, lefty. Anyone can be racist.

The Japanese have them beat on racism, as do any Middle Eastern ethnicity. Indians nearly have them beat in abundance.

t. a retard

Bobbo deserved it when during when he first signed with WWE.

I try to tell tell them all the time, but they don’t get it, even when those black kids in Chicago kidnapped and tortured the retarded white kid, livestreamed it and bragged about doing it because he was white, that wasnt racism and wasnt considered a hate crime.

His dad is barely half himself so no

That was about as real as Sandy Hook. Mark.

He was wearing a Maga hat so he kind put that on himself

Trayvon was wearing a hoodie, so he kind of deserved to get killed.

No. He is mixed race. Obama isn't the first black president either.

His push began in the Nation of Domination. That's why he became their leader. He was intended to be the company's second guy.

It is weird that with institutional power the white people wouldn’t prosecute that as a hate crime and seeks maximum penalties though. Never understood that, but it definitely wasn’t racist.

>Only whites can be racist
As a black man, that's fucking retarded. The reason racial tensions are so high in America is because racism is displayed by all sides to varying degrees.

As for OP, Rock is Samoan, not black.

The Rock is Black. Black DNA is far stronger than Samoan DNA. Anyone who has at least one drop of superior Black African genetics counts as Black.

This.

racism is so high because the all flooding us with people ftom all over, right when black and whites were starting to figure their shit out they pass the 65 immigration act and flood the country with the third world fucking over poor blacks and poor whites and destroying any unity the two races had developed.

This is a more nuanced debate than people make it out to be. Yes, The Rock is genetically a black man, however, genetics really have nothing to with it as he doesn’t look like a black man and therefore didn’t have the same disadvantages as one. Being black is more than just being African.

He doesn’t have black skin or facial features. Young black kids don’t like at The Rock and think ‘hey that guy looks like me! Cool!’

I don’t consider The Rock the first black WWE champion, and I think if you asked Dwayne, he wouldn’t either.

Shoot: Yes.
Kayfabe: No.

Yes, one drop rule

Fucking yikes.

Then why does he look like a Samoan and nothing like a black despite being half black?

Not until his fourth title reign.

Booker T was WHC at a time when it wasn’t nearly as much of a secondary title. He was the face of a brand. And you are stoned out of your mind if you think Lashley wasn’t getting pushed to Cena status with multiple WWE title runs in his future if he hadn’t left

As black as Barack Obama, the first black president of the united states of america

Nope. The Rock is white as they come.

There will never be a black champion.

More importantly: is Yokozuna the first Japanese?

>t. White guy

He's the first samoan

No. Obama wasn't black either. Colin Kapernick isn't black. Trevor Noah isn't black.

What about '1st WWE champion of color'?

>When has anyone black ever qualified for a world championship outside of The Rock, Mark Henry, or Booker T within the last 20 years?
Given the number of talentless hackjobs who won a world title in that period of time, fucking Michael Tarver would be "qualified" for a world championship.

He's half black. So no.
Can't be the "first black x" if you're not fully black.

Yokozuna

No black American is fully black ya brainlet

Does he consider himself black? If the answer is yes, then yes. If the answer is no or some wishy-washy flip-flop answer then no.

Saying this literally makes you racist. gg

Does Rachel Dolezal consider herself black? If the answer is yes, then yes. If the answer is no or some wishy-washy flip-flop answer then no.

yes but not black enough. the way kofi wouldn't be black enough if he won the title because he's from ghana

lol is elizabeth warren native american?

Wouldn't that make Kofi more black since he's a pure African?

>White is a race and not a construct
>White man can convince people that hes actually black without even changing his skin tone
Hmmm

Vince will say yes so that he never has to put it on a full blooded bulbasaur

The fuck is up with the top of this guy's head? Is that a hat or or actual hair?

what is the opposite of white? i’d say he qualifies as a colored, why?

Rocks father is maybe half black himself so the Rock is maybe a quarter black at the most

His push started with Maivia

R Truth should've got a title run during Cena's reign of terror.

Booker didn't get the WWE title though and he was never the face of the company. And Lashley should have gotten the belt way before he ever left. Shit, what about Mark Henry? He deserved it too. His Hall of Pain run and fake retirement were GOAT.

seething whitey, you are racist because you are white and hold the power
i can never be racist because i’m jewish and we are the most oppressed humans on earth
