In a powerful video shared on his social media platforms, Dwayne “The Boulder” Johnson subtly addressed former President Trump without directly naming him. As protests continue to unfold in reaction to the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Ahmad Arbery, and Breonna Taylor—among many others—prominent figures have amplified their voices for racial justice. Johnson stands firmly with the Black Lives Matter movement, using nearly nine minutes to express his support while delivering a scathing critique of the current leadership.
In his remarks, Johnson poses poignant questions: “Where are you? Where is our leader?” He emphasizes the desperate state of the nation, saying, “Our country is on its knees, begging for change.” With palpable emotion, he continues, “Where is our compassionate leader, ready to extend a hand and say, ‘You stand up with me because I got you. I hear you. I’m listening to you.’”
Throughout the recent protests, the former president has garnered criticism for his divisive rhetoric and actions, including threatening protesters with military force and clearing peaceful demonstrators from Lafayette Square for a photo opportunity. Against this backdrop, Johnson’s questions resonate deeply.
He articulates a longing for a leader who listens and is committed to effecting change, saying, “I will do everything in my power, until my last breath, to create the change that’s needed. To normalize equality because Black Lives Matter.” While the video is lengthy, its message is vital—addressing the painful realities of racism and the urgent need for compassion in leadership.
