I don't think we should be telling a person of color how to feel about a shirt he clearly sees as offensive.

I would have never guessed/noticed/assumed the "racist" part of the shirt.... at first thought he was upset just because his shirt was so plain and bland.

Emperor Smeat
10-27-2019, 08:17 PM
On its own, the shirt looks bad and par for the course for most of WWE's shirt designs.

Between going with that color combo and design and giving Myles the stereotypical happy black guy wrestler gimmick, WWE left themselves wide open for the black face criticisms to happen.

Mr. Nerfect
10-27-2019, 09:04 PM
Lol, it’s pretty bad no one caught that. WWE will and should apologize to Jordan and change the shirt. I expect to see him on TV very soon too.

And yeah, Myles Jordan is a much better name than Jordan Myles.

That would make sense as a reason and why you get instances like in the Netherlands and Spain where they hold certain annual festivals that always draws criticisms in the US of being black face and/or racist in tone.

Those festivals don't generate the same tone there because of cultural and origin differences although more people there have become aware in recent years of how those festivals can be seen as being racist.

Once again, you are spot on.

I still don't see how the smiling teeth means the red background is the stereotypical racist lips, it's clearly the inside of the mouth if the letters are meant to be teeth.

If people are offended, then it is offensive. What I don't think is it being blatantly offensive, as in by design, but just a case of something not being thought out very well.

Even if you want to just take WWE’s side “it’s just a smile for a dude that smiles a lot, what’s the big deal?”

They’ve had an alarming number of black wrestlers whose sole gimmick is just “smiley black guy” with little to no character development beyond that. Shit that’s been the entirety of Apollo Crews’ three and a half year main roster run.

Tom Guycott

I'm not seeing how people cant see the blatant racism here.

Here's a key question. Are they selling the shirt in white?

Prob'ly not. And that's what makes this worse.

To counterbalance all the "I don't see it" folks, the Al Jolson-looking derogatory imagery is the first thing I noticed. This is one of those things that could have been completely avoided if they just ran it by him or somebody with some sense first instead of "here's your merch". This looks like something out of Bamboozled, and that was a satirical movie.

If I had any faith that WWE had any sort of self-awareness or quality writing, I would figure this was the beginning of a gimmick, angle, and push for the guy trying to buck the "this is all you are" trend. But, of course this is legit. Of course they're that tone deaf. Just of fucking course.

He is trying to get fired AND set up his first fued back in ROH clearly.

Also it doesn't sound like WWE ever even released this shirt, just showed him a design. If they changed it before releasing it after he objected, sigh I don't know at all with this.

I didn't see it as offensive initially, but I also don't have the same perspective on it. To me it seems like he was upset prior to the shirt, and this just opened the floodgates. Why else would he be bringing up past issues with Lethal and ROH.

He's not wrong about how WWE handled the Hogan n-word controversy overall.

Can blame Triple H for that since supposedly he was the one who set up the backstage meeting with talent and approved Hogan's apology. Same for him not caring that Hogan's half-ass apology managed to upset a lot of those in attendance.

It's an odd move because the only buzz about Devlin lately was because of his OTT stuff and nothing NXT UK related. Nothing NXT UK related generates buzz, honestly. I really doubt this was something he asked for. This move doesnt hurt David Starr at all, he works a lot of other places, but it does rob OTT of their top babyface and seemingly punishes Devlin himself.

Booker T commented on this, and he alluded to all the points that crossed my mind.

It still feels more like Myles is taking this opportunity to bring up every slight and grudge he has ever had, or he is purposefully trying to get fired. He hasn't been used, and if reports of NXT guys not getting raises is true, I can't blame him for wanting out. It's a bold way to go about it though.

Mr. Nerfect
10-29-2019, 03:35 PM
The thing is, WWE are in a tight spot if he does want out, because it sets the precedent on how to get out of your contract: make a PR nightmare for them. It’s in WWE’s best interest for Myles to turn around and be a good soldier and give the world a thumbs up.

I'm too lazy to look it up but if the shirt only comes in black, then its a valid point that the design was in poor taste, but probably unintentional. If the shirt is available in different colors, then I dont think he has much of a point as it wasnt specifically designed on a black background.

And honestly, it's not like WWE has any track records of bad taste decisions with black wrestlers...

Well, lets see,

Mark Henry is a bad stereotype that also happens to be into sexual relations with geriatrics. It would be bad even if it was a white guy, but that makes it worse, especially since they called him chocolate.

Saba Simba is an "african warrior", offensive because you had to give it to a black guy, but not as bad because there are/were people in Africa who dressed like that. Not sure, not an expert on cultures.

Kamala is a man eater from Africa. Again, a stereotype, but thats just one thing wrong. If he was a man eater who only ate women, that would put him on equal footing with Mark Henry.

Cryme Tyme is two black dudes immediately labeled as "criminal" which fits into another racist stereotype, however, thats again only one hit against them.

So, all four give the bad stereotype/racism concept, but Henry amplifies it with a bad sexual innuendo/creepy behavior.

New Day looked like they were headed that way the very first time the group aligned. Woods showed up looking like Malcolm X telling Kofi and Big E that they needed to stop smiling and kissing babies and start taking back what was theirs.

Then of course it got scrapped and they became preacher stereotypes instead until the crowd turned on them.
