The "going hard" part doesn't apply to Dwayne because he opted not to address what he is. Of course the others might feel like they have to do it, but before those others were introduced into the convo, we acknowledged that Rock simply shies away from those convos.Please read my comment again, I wasn't the one making this about his looks, I think you missed a few things. The lightskinned folks slacktivists do rock with have to go EXTRA hard to "prove" themselves to a bunch of strangers on the internet. They don't have an assumed aura of being "pro black", that's the double standard that I'm pointing out.
And how should that affect him being cast as a black folk hero, it's a complete 180 on his "silence". I just don't understand why people get hella mad over people moving differently than they do. Shouldn't the only thing that matters in this situation be that he ever did IT (getting the role for JH) at all?we acknowledged that Rock simply shies away from those convos.
Again, he SHOULD do whatever he WANTS to do. There is no rule book here as to how someone should move.And how should that affect him being cast as a black folk hero, it's a complete 180 on his "silence".

We SHOULD use words as freely as possible, this a conversation, not a court case, there's no RIGHT or WRONG here. And since when did a few tweets decide how the whole of the black community feels on this, I bet as with most things twitter blows up, most people don't give a damn. And you're right there is no rulebook here in this thread, but don't pretend like there isn't a sweeping "no true Scotsman" approach on twitter and on this very site about how a black person should and shouldn't move.Again, he SHOULD do whatever he WANTS to do. There is no rule book here as to how someone should move.
But folks in here are simply discussing why the black community isn't really trying to see HIM in THAT project.
So we should erase the word SHOULD from this conversation.
It is simple cause and effect, you act a certain way and you will alienate a certain demographic.
And pre-sus Ving rhamesMichael Jai White. But no one would go see it.
Dude from The Green Mile would have been perfect, but RIP.
Cash grab by the studio producing it because folks flock to Rock movies like flies on poop.
Of course you haven't, they use white people even when the role calls for something else. A native American..Asian..African....etc...all white throughout the history of the entertainment businessThis not black enough **** gotta stop.
Blacks come in all different shades.
Blacks come from all different social classes.
Neighborhoods.
Countries.
Education.
Political parties.
Black is not one thing.
Never heard not white enough.
Plus if his production company is putting up the bread it shows that maybe it's a project he's passionate about and maybe that's the start of him doing more pro black **** to satisfy hotep Twitter.

For a black man they want to use a Samoan.
Foh.
He ain't black enough for the part. I got time today.
BET IF THE ROCK TURNED THE ROLL DOWN YOU’D HAVE SOMTHING ELSE TO SAY TOO HUH?Of course you haven't, they use white people even when the role calls for something else. A native American..Asian..African....etc...all white throughout the history of the entertainment business

He ain't gonna give you an answer that makes sense.Why is he not black enough?
What are the criteria for being black?
