The upholder of 'power of positivity' further added that it is a very constructive time for the African-Americans, he noted that the United States had come a long way as a nation, and racial profiling is a thing of past. Kingston believes that having five POC (People of Color) Champions is a testament to the prosperity and general growth of the industry and society as a whole.
He confessed to being proud of it and thinks that the post serves as a guiding light and shining example to the people who believe that African-Americans can’t get ahead because of the colour of their skin.
Kingston added that his words not only apply to his race but any race in general. He maintains that a person can achieve anything no matter what colour they are. The former Intercontinental Champion deduced it as their (New Day and WWE Superstars) responsibility to instil in people a sense of belief and to let everybody know that they can have success regardless of their race or background.
