I remember the one time The Rock gave all the other members of the nation golden rolexes but then he gave Farooq a framed picture of himself

You like wrestling history in some parts and not others.

Black wrestlers were routinely overlooked and underpaid as it pertained to wrestling. You had the biggest Black performers receive their highest paydays from Vince.

If he were a racist why would he feel compelled to break tradition when other promoters still made money shortchanging Black wrestlers?

You're reaching badly here.

McMahon= Callous, calculating, immoral, vindictive, greedy.

Racist just happens to be one that is not on the list.

You're still arguing that since McMahon was smart enough to see that he could make himself wealthier by promoting Black, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander etc wrestlers as there was clearly a market for it and money to be made, he can't be racist on that merit alone.

That is faulty logic. Vince can still be a racist, just a smart one and business savvy.

It was weird I woke up this morning to a few inches of snow on the ground

You're being willfully obtuse now.

There are more than enough accounts of Vince being verbally abusive, sexually inappropriate, etc. confirmed by many people who worked intimately with him.

Where are the accounts of him being racist?

For sure previous talents have stated they believe he is racist

He. Is. Not. Racist.

Period.

Accuse him of the things that are legitimate and that scores of people who have intimately worked with him would attest to.

Racial stereotypes is a copout here.

I remember seeing that as a kid, before all this enlightened race-relation, and even then I was like "where's the watermelon and koolaid? If we're going to be blatantly racist, let's do it up right"

Did Booker T quit in protest or just keep working for him

I know about Ahmed Johnson.

Who else?

1.Rocky Johnson
2.Tony Atlas
3.S.D. Jones
4.Johnny Rodz
5.Butch Reed
6.Kamala
7.Koko B. Ware
8. Zeus AKA DEBO 😂
9.Bad News Allen
10.Ron Simmons
11.2 Cold Scorpio
12.Dlo Brown
13.Godfather/Mustafa/Papa Shango

These cover the 70's, 80's, and 90's. A period without social media, political correctness, and most importantly prior to the WWF becoming publicly owned. If there was ever a time where Vince would feel comfortable being openly racist it would be then.

How many of these people have accused him of racism?

Pearl River Plunge!

harlem heat was a great tag team. I was kinda sad when booker went solo

Booker worked for WWE for years after he was still on the pre show panel until recently

Booker and Stevie Ray were both absolute tanks

I remember Stevie Ray would hit mother*ckers with a slapjack

I watched the summer slam with Zeus before and it was weird cause he was impervious to pain and just no sold everything

I like zeus/tiny, but he was a shitty wrestler. good actor tho
