intelligent? far from it...when you relate color to things that makes you not smart. People need to realize that their race makes up a percentage of the population and it could be a big number or a small number. You then need to realize that if you make up a small number of the population that you will have a smaller representation in many fields. it has nothing to do with racism and has everything to do with numbers.

Big E really is a true friend to Kofi . When Kofi won the championship at Mania, Big E was in tears of joy. There was no hate or any jealously involved in his actions once his friend won the belt. He even held Kofis sons in the ring. It was just nice too see the first champion from Ghana win the belt . Even when Kofi lost the championship, he still spoke up, not in character, but he stepped outside of his character, and said that Kofi got screwed out of the title

Would’ve been dope to tie in his hip hop ties to wrestling too. His in ring gear he won the chip with was inspired by the Blu & Exile Below the Heavens album cover. His new attire is inspired by the Fugees “The Score” album. He has great taste in hip hop. Was stoked to hear him working with Rapsody on his new animation project.

Didn't know BIG E had a West Indian/Caribbean background. That's dope. Also, I love the Rock but it seems like he always promotes his Samoan side (which has strong connections to Africa actually) more than his black side.

When I learned his his real name I was like his parents are Caribbean

[@jadangor1078]

He did in the beginning of his career when he joined the nation of domination and after that he definitely changed and started embracing his Samoan side

It's because his Samoan side family are God's of wrestling. Look at all the people that family produced even the current World champ Roman Reigns.
