I've gone through phases where I thought a stable that addressed race issues could be interesting. But it'd just be too polarizing with so many racists in the US. Like, Kofi Kingston takes a knee on a SmackDown and half you yanks will boo the fuck out of him forever and a day.
It's not the right sort of heat to get. Even if you try to make them babyfaces, or heels that are only booed because they are assholes, and maybe have a few token white guys in there, haha. It's also got that flavor of exploitation that WWE takes a MASSIVE beating for when it comes to things like the Iraq situation in 1991, or Muhammad Hassan when the terrorist attacks happened. It's way too divisive an issue, and WWE are just not mature or nuanced enough (fuck I hate that word, but it actually fits here), to even think about attempting it. MVP managing Bobby Lashley is enough.
