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. |

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.

He was ACH in ROH and the indies, which might sound a little more familiar.

There’s this old adage about films that goes something like “you know you’ve got a shit movie when it would be more interesting to listen to the people in the movie talk about the movie.” WWE is in this mode.
I’m more interested in hearing those conversations, or seeing Vince get the SmackDown rating than I am any of their actual content. |

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... |

I think he is overall the most offensive in every way. Least stereotypically racist, still definitely racist...

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. |

You all know Kamala had his gimmick before he ever went to WWE right?
Or that Mark Henry has said sexual chocolate was his idea. Yes it's nitpicking, but also unfair to use that as an argument to support this narrative. |

It's more the fact he's standing there with a singlet that reads "Chocolate". But as for the black guys loving white women stereotype, I don't believe age is a part of that. The stereotype as I know it revolves around white fixation, not specifically young white fixation. |

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.
Definitely had Nation undertones. Especially with referencing wanting to get away from the "smiley black guy" stereotype. Then of course it got scrapped and they became preacher stereotypes instead until the crowd turned on them. |

You're teaching your daughter to dislike black people?
Then, you're as despicable as a mother as you are a poster. |

So you don't teach your daughters to act like that -- yet you see acting that way as A-Okay. Interesting.
Look, feel what you want about politics. But just because you feel "they" complain about everything, doesn't mean it's at all okay to paint people with the same brush. It's really quite revolting and you should be ashamed of yourself. Though expecting a dullard like yourself to be at all self-reflective is like expecting Noid not to be a smug jackass. |
