1. More Discussion on “Black Excellence” By Kofi Kingston

Raw Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston is not done discussing Big E’s “Black Excellence” tweet. Below is what he said during an interview with USA Today:

“I don’t think there has ever been a point in this company where there have been that many African-American champions. It’s a very important moment. Everyone knows the history of our nation. There was a point in time when this would have never happened. It means a lot to us to be the guys – and the woman – to be in the situation right now.
It’s a testament to how far we’ve come. When you hear people talk about race, people all of a sudden get defensive. Well, if you would have put #WhiteExcellence there, you would have been run out of town and would have gotten banned and blah, blah, blah.
It wasn’t about that … If someone wants to be proud of who they are, how far they’ve come and journey they’ve traveled then by all means. We’d be very, very supportive of it. That’s what we were trying to convey, not just us as people but us as a nation.”
