Some more thoughts on this:
- It's a Netflix joint so you know the budget, CGI (if needed) and post-production are not going to be great
- Rock's production company, including his ex-wife who manages his business interests are involved in this so this joint is just to push his 'brand' and get that paper as opposed to any kind of accuracy
Dems & the deplorables are certainly culpable for all the woes minorities feel especially black people. That goes without saying. Anyone whose followered politics knows the clintons have a terrible history themselves with draconian tough on crime laws that didn’t work & the infamous “super predator” remark.
But the statements posted make the presumption that there is a better alternative when there is not. Not voting because you didn’t like the option you had? Look where that has gotten us. We can most certainly expect another 4 years of this BS & another 1 or possibly 2 deplorable judges added to the Supreme Court.
Fact is for me, the democrats have leadership (for lack of a better more appropriate term) that I identify with & are more closely aligned with however flawed they may be.
If you’re affiliated with the deplorables, for me & my family, I don’t mess with you at all. PERIOD. You’re a POS in my book. We’ve come to a point in time where that party is synonymous with white supremacist/fascism & their agenda that is clear.
I guess we’ll agree to disagree. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol. They both said her mom is white and her dad is like black and latino.I mean... that's on them right?
I'd wager that they don't know Mariah is black either?
PSK learned a new emoji today. Cute
I’m assuming this isn’t earning or ban worthy since it’s available within the NT emojis. If this should be used, let me know & I will edit or delete
But the Rock has little to nothing in common with the common black folks in America
I see. I just imagine that those people would take offense to be called black even though alot are darker than alot of Africans. I would never call any of them black if they don't want to be considered black. Hell, I met an Nigerian guy in college that didn't want to be called black and some other dude from Chicago that wanted to be called African American exclusively.Haha I didn't say that I agree. I come from a culture that doesn't identify with pigmentation as much as it does "what village are you from?"
I agree, The Rock doesn’t seem to identify with black folks & “the struggle”. I don’t ever remember him speaking out about the various injustices & such.But the Rock has little to nothing in common with the common black folks in America. So him being a republican vs. TIM FROM around the corner being republican isn't the same thing.
That is why I asked, why does it HAVE to be either or?

That is a wild way to view life because all Republicans aren't created equally.I agree, The Rock doesn’t seem to identify with black folks & “the struggle”. I don’t ever remember him speaking out about the various injustices & such.
Separate from that, it’s how I feel with the deplorable party today & any POS affiliated with them at this point.
I am strictly speaking on socio-economic issues that the wealthy deal with vs. Those that common folks deal with.This statement is based on what exactly? How do you know this?

Ok, now we can dead the issue of him being affiliated with the Republicans now. He obviously doesn't like the conservatives that took over.He's also not a Republican anymore. He identified as a republican in 2000 and spoke at the RNC. He's anti-Trump and anti-tea party and currently identifies as an Independent.
Like I said DC, we will agree to disagree. I’ve never met a deplorable that was a respectable person... EVER. It’s an even more stark contrast nowadays.
I ASSUME people wish he spoke up about black ISSUES that we have been dealing with as of late.
Has he ever spoken out against Crooked Coppers killing Unarmed Black Men?
I know he has spoken out on "gun laws" (easy talking point).
Him mentioning his racial history in a book doesn't really mean much to people that are looking to him for a VOICE for us.
But again, he has an image that he wants to uphold, so he can do as he wants. Maybe he doesn't want THAT pressure (yet).
yeah, he has:

He said if he was in the league today he woulda knelt or raised his fist and he called out Trump's response: "I felt like our president's responses were being dictated by the noise and not the actual problem." That's more than a lot of current Black players have said.
I agree. I dated a black girl who's parents were wary of me so we broke it off. Then right after, I started dating this Iranian girl who's parents were Muslim and they loved me.Oh I'm Black and I identify as such. But when you have relatives begging you not to date someone who is also Black because they were born 3 hours away from you in the same country, or speak a different language, or worship a different deity, then you realize -- well I think you get my point. Ethnocentrism isn't just about color.
Just cuz a person looks like me doesn't mean they need to identify the way I expect them to.
Well notice I never said THAT makes Rock "non-black."If that's the standard, I guess Michael Jordan ain't black either
Nah. he's still not black enough based on some arbitrary hotep scale. He needs to only date/marry black women and give AT LEAST 50% of his income to black charities to be considered black.
Wait, what's wrong with Key n Peele?Look @ key n peele. We not rockin with them.
