Yeah everyone knows the Thanos Snap won’t stick.

Look, I have no problem with you not liking Sapp or how he’s handled himself while he’s been in Japan , but it’s the “he should be drowned” part. Why not voice your dislike about him and give examples instead of just going the extreme route and saying you wish someone would kill him?
As CBS News reports, the reception to Johnson, a light-skinned, mixed race man, playing an undeniably black-American folk legend was incredulous at best.
I forgot I had posted this one the internet where reactions of “let’s call for the murder of this person we don’t agree with” is commonplace. I mean seriously, you can’t come up with a better take than to kill him? Tell you what, you go try and drown him while posting a live feed of it so we can watch.
I think it’s important that you publish a list of officially sanctioned black people so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.
Gut. Punch.
Fuck all this, and you.
So busy telling other people what they should, and shouldn’t do... if you dislike Hollywood, stop going to the movies. He’s just doing what he thinks is best, and you can’t seriously hate on anyone for that.
Just wanted to say that in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Mr. Johnson plays the father of black children. In Walking Tall his father is a black man. Be Cool features him as depicting himself as both African American and Samoan. In the Gridiron Gang and The Game plan he relates best with the black males and has a daughter who…
As a black man, I’m sick of black people judging other peoples “blackness”and it has to stop, for us as a people to move forward. You have to act a certain way, wear certain clothes, walk a certain way as if there’s a black people factory in Detroit. If you don’t follow these metrics, you’re instantly judged by other…
I’m a white man, but I’m going to tell a short story, because I think it’s relevant to the rhetoric in this piece. I have two cousins who have a white mom and a black dad. Both look black, but have never “acted black” or “identified” with the black culture. Their entire lives people have either said “oh, you’re not…
Jesus H Christ. Are you seriously saying he’s not Black enough? After the thousands upon thousands of Root articles very clear in a single message, that even the slightest fucking hint of colour means you’re forever fucked, you’re advocating racial purity?
It just dawned on me that the hate this site seems to have for half black/mixed black famous people is akin to the hate and fear white supremacists have toward blacks. Afraid the blacks will come in and start diluting their pure whiteness. Now I’m seeing people mad at mixed black people for not being black enough.…
Did you ever stop to think that maybe Dwayne feels that if he proclaims himself as a black man, that he also always has to proclaim himself as Samoan as well? Otherwise, he would be completely disrespecting his mother’s lineage. At the same time, maybe Dwayne is trying to erase the whole idea of looking at people…
THE ROCK: “Okay Grapevine why do you think I shouldn’t pay the role of John Henry.”
*sigh* Those of us who are mixed race know this deal all too well. Not dark enough for one side, not white enough for the other. So you play to your ambiguity as the only true identity you have, and then people bag on you for that. Can’t win.
We get it ... us half black half white people... we understand... to black to be white , to white to be black...been hearing it my whole life. Just one big FUCK YOU to all of you out there.... I wish we were considered our own race, because at every turn people like to remind us what we are not apart of.
So, let me get my lightskint thoughts in order here. Barack is half black, and half white, yet is considered the first black president—and not one eyelash was batted. He chose to round up, as it were. As is his prerogative.
Nah. I’m cool with Rock as John Henry. Right around that time in the American south, there were a lot of mixed-race black men running around. Rock’s complexion wouldn’t have been anything special.
I would love to see a movie version of the late, great Darwyn Cooke’s superhero version of John Henry and his fantastically sad fate followed up by one of the most socially woke moments in comic book history.
I can’t resist the pun: it’s actually blacklash.
