But What About Sweet T?

In Vince McMahon's America, all the black people wanna do is dance, even if their friend is out in the elements dying. Okay, so maybe Tensai wasn't actually in the cold on his way to expiring, but the whole scene after Brodus Clay's final heel turn was emblematic of everything still wrong with WWE's portrayal of black people. People can have thoughts and feelings that aren't grossly stereotyped, but on a show where the announcers would rather take selfies than pay attention to the match, I guess this is a piddling concern in the grand scheme of things.
