What is up with JBL and racism

[machinegun]

First Eddie and the Mexican thing

Now Finlay and the Irish thing? Need not apply. I had no clue white people could be so racist against other white people.....

Also didn't know JBL's gimmick was to be a racist

[big nasty]

kinda like when rick rude used to tell all the 'fat, ugly, trailor trash to shut up"

insult the audience, easy heel heat.

You'd be surprised.

On the real side of things, peeps like JBL are rather xenophobic. On the kayfabe side, that's how his character is supposed to be, looking down on people that aren't like him.

He needs to grow a Col. DeBeers moustache.

Apparently you missed that whole border patrol spiel he did then.

The thing is, after taking a look at his radio show... its not a gimmick.

They say the more successful gimmicks are really just exaggerations of the performers real personality, like Stone Cold.

Outside of the ring, Ron Simmons just says "Darn"

And then stroke it every chance he gets to make his actions more dastardly. +1 to moveset.

I don't know, I like it. He fits the stereotypical role perfectly and as long as he isn't dropping racial slurs on national television what harm is this really causing?

You call it nit-picking, I call it shit-picking. Or the other word for crap.

[Z-A Sandbaggin' Son of a b!%@h]

Simple... he's a racist. next question

[AriadosMan]

He needs to grow his Blackjacks moustache back to fit in with his whole "silent film villain" personality. Moustache=evilness.

Except you know he's not racist, and he's more of an observationalist like you know bill hicks

[neongreen]

If people are truely offended by JBL, then he's doing an awesome job at playing the heel. They are supposed to be offensive. If you don't understand that, then that's your problem.

[Max]

Oh, and when he was saying "Nickerson"(the name of some jobber) like....well put 2 and 2 together.
