Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted September 18, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 Did I just mistakenly end up on tumblr, because I don't think I've ever seen a more wrongheaded misunderstanding of racism from that point of view.

handspants Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 So, Chris Jericho becoming the first ever Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion and a CANADIAN (well, billed as one) at that, means WWE are both racist and beltistĀ or something?

Paid Members Linus Posted September 18, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Hogan said he only used the "n" word in low times. You know, despite him using it all the time when he was growing up, right? Oh, and he said he used it on the tape because it was a low time because his son was in an adult prison. The tape was recorded in 2006, Nick crashed that car in 2007... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hogan in timeline bullshitting shocker. Ā I'm suprised he hasn't used " Booker T started it!" as a defence yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigmonkey Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I have purchased tickets to this. Hogan was/is an icon to me. Although I am disappointed with what has come to light. His conversation was private. In the private of our own home and circle of friends I'm sure we all say stuff that we would be horrified to go public. Also its worth noting that Hogan may have been approached by the promoters about this tour and perhaps was too good of a pay day to turn down.

MoKonjic Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm sure that everyone has done or said things in private that they wouldn't want getting out, but that's usually due to embarrassment. There's a difference between someone not wanting people to know they fucked a water melon or tasted there own cum, and Hogan spouting comments that suggest he could harm or discriminate against people in the future.

Paid Members Linus Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you don't understand how someone who said "I mean, I am racist, to a point. Fucking niggers" and has had periods when he's had control over who got pushed and who didn't isn't harmful, then you need to go back to racism school.

King Pitcos Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you assume that Hulk Hogan, as the one who got caught, is the only person in wrestling history who ever had influence and racist views, you're being very naive. I'm not sure which black wrestlers from the Hulkamania era you would assume were stars in the making had it not been for Terry putting the shackles on them, either. There were very few black wrestlers in the WWF in that period, really -- if he had a say in the hirings, that could be why. But let's not pretend that race was the driving factor in his politics. Steve Austin and Bret Hart were bitter for years that the Hulkster held them down, and they're both good ol' whiteboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah if anything Terry was ahead of his times when it came to equal opportunities, he'd hold anyone back. Black, white, big, small, all fair game. Ā And yeah show me a successful wrestler that's on the side of the angels. Off the top of my head Sting, but he seemed to have a life change in the 90's. So much so I'm sure I recall him or his missus was grassing everyone else up for personal indiscretions now they were whiter than white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Linus Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 Oh, I'm sure it was rife. The difference being that one man has recently been outed as definitely being racist because, well, he admitted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hogan isnt racist. He even said he wouldnt mind his daughter going out with a rich one. That's not racist. He just doesnt like poor people. Especially if they are black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I have said things personally that aren't pc anymore. Doesn't mean I have or would ever discrimate on anyone in workplace. There is a difference between saying something objectionable and being a racist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
