If boxing was, as Adam notes, of “unparalleled” symbolic importance to white American masculinity, then the real-life dominance of black boxers was a deep psychic wound, so much so that black success in the ring has provoked violence. https://t.co/rowngFPKG8 — PolitiTweet.org

when CREED 2 was released, my friend @adamserwer wrote on the first CREED as a subversion of the Rocky franchise. The first three Rocky movies, he notes, are the story of a working-class white man humbling the black man who dares to claim America. https://t.co/f6Vo4cni7g — PolitiTweet.org

Whoever created this meme image of Trump as Rocky just wanted to show him as a powerful man. And Trump obviously wants to present himself as such. But when you consider the racial politics of the film itself, it’s hard to imagine a more apt piece of political symbolism. — PolitiTweet.org
