cjsdowg 03/26/23 10:13:27 PM #1:	I was watching some old WWF on Youtube ,and I ran into a Kamala match. And that just made me think of how racist gimmicks use to be. Here are a few below but not all. Kamala An African man from the "Bush" and he had a handler, dressed like a South African Hunter. And when he would pin people the crowd had to tell him to roll the guy on his back. Since he could not understand how to pin people. And he was scared of his handler. And for some reason the handler was named Kimchee. Kai En Tai A Japanese group who could not speak English and so they dubbed in their lines. And for some reason they were evil. And before that, they would say broken English like Chopy Chopy when they wanted to cut off someones..... Akeem A big white guy from South Carolina goes to the hood and gets transformed into an African guy. And here is the kicker. Some how he was teamed with a racist CO for a little bit then they started to go at each other, and the racist CO was the good guy ? The Mexicools. A Mexican team that went to the ring on lawn mowers . Kerwen White Was a Latino dude, who all out of the blue made his hair blond ands started to act like a bad rich white guy from a 90s movie. And said racist things about a black super start. Always ending by saying if it is not white it is not right. --- To be a poor man is hard, but to be a poor race in a land of dollars is the very bottom of hardships. W.E.B.

FortuneCookie 03/26/23 10:51:53 PM #24:	cjsdowg posted... Kamala An African man from the "Bush" and he had a handler, dressed like a South African Hunter. And when he would pin people the crowd had to tell him to roll the guy on his back. Since he could not understand how to pin people. And he was scared of his handler. Even for the 1980s, that character was dated. I always wondered how a 1930s depiction of a native made it into that era. It looks like the character started in Memphis and moved to New York. It's probably been taken down, but there used to be a video on YouTube of manager Jimmy Hart saying that he lured Kamala to the States by promising him white women and watermelons. "Can you believe it? This man has never had a watermelon in his life." The gimmick started out with an unambiguously racist target audience, then made it to the national stage by way of being just another wrestling gimmick. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:972435238] in WWE use to...

Maze_ 03/27/23 8:59:35 AM #27:	Ehh Not really a defense of any of these but remember it's wrestling. Everyone had stupid gimmicks including white people. Texans were all crotchless chap wearing cowboys The English were all holier than thou bluebloods Triple H managed to be both a French and English Blueblood. Kevin Nash was The Wizard of Oz for some reason Roddy Piper played Bagpipes so he had to be Scottish Almost all the girls were skanks and strippers and whores up to the Benoit situation And just how many Canadians have been anti-America? Gotta be nearly triple digit by now. I mean look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx8Xb5VJulQ If any of the people involved black you'd be calling it an example of racism because it's so Goddamn stupid. It is worth pointing out that while wrestling was racist as fuck (especially some of the things the commentators and dudes said in promos) most notable wrestlers had insane goofy gimmicks that sound crazy if you single them out. And some black dudes had no gimmicks just like some white dudes. Butch Reed and Ron Simmons were just dudes in tights. I mean the dudes complaining about JYD for example know that for a time that gimmick was arguably the hottest in America right? And tons of wrestlers wore collars.

This is pretty horrible stuff, fair warning. https://youtu.be/qHjn9gysxQ4 I think people forget because of the way wrestling presents itself that it's essentially a tv show. Yeah what he's saying is horrible, but he's a villain, you wouldn't watch a villain in a movie or TV show doing horrible things and complain because you realize he's meant to be awful and doing villainous things. The problem is more often than not in wrestling it's either played for laughs or the people saying these things are presented as the good guys.
