What this comes down to for me is lack of surprise. Not that Hogan specifically struck me as racist, but that I'm not surprised when anyone is racist. Where I live, I feel like I am surrounded by it, to the point where it doesn't even upset me anymore because if it did, well I'd be upset all the time.
It's caused me to see racism as more of a societal problem, less a personal one.

So will the WWE go back to how they were in the 90s when Hogan was in WCW and start referring to Andre as the greatest box office attraction of all time? They're on good terms with Bruno now, so they can say Bruno was the greatest box office attraction. They could also go with Austin or Rock.

It is CRAZY to me that this thread is so long, and had to be locked so many times. The dude admitted he was racist. Point blank. There is nothing else. You can be depressed all day, every day of your life, that is no excuse. I've had some crappy times in my life and it never made me a homophobic racist. Hogan admitted it. So why all the arguing?

People just don't want to accept that Hogan's a bad dude (brother jack) because "ruined childhood" or whatever.

To be fair, that was kind of the norm in 1993. Doesn't defend it, but doesn't change it.

Eeeehhh, still having trouble with the whole privacy issue. We were not meant to hear this. I never needed to know this. I find it difficult to judge him on offensive throwaway comments he made in private which were secretly recorded against his will.

He can retweet all the tweets from black people defending him and show how he hung out with black people. In my book, if you're going to hang out with black people and say you're friends with them, but then when in private casually call them the n-word while talking about them, and how you don't want your daughter do date one of them, unless its a rich basketball player. Then yes you ARE a racist, and a two-faced piece of crap racist at that, if you really weren't racist you would not use that word when referring to black people.

OMG! Do you know that Brock Lesnar is as well? Do you? DO YOU?Missing the point much? Yes, you absolutely are. My point wasn't to downplay the affects of racism or homophobia, or to disrespect the thread. I apologize if it did. It was just my oh so subtle way of bringing up the fact that foxy has had a couple of dozen posts on the board and I believe that nearly every. single. one. has been regarding how she hates Brock due to homophobic statements made over a decade ago. Even going as far as to quantify her post in this thread that has zero to do with Brock Lesnar with an "as well". They have shown no other interest in (or in contributing) anything else to the boards, at all. So, yeah, I do believe you missed my point man. My reply to foxy was too dickish I admit, but so was your snide, sarcastic question in reply. I have nothing against you at all, I understand my comment to her came across even worse without perspective. It's just that, while I am an admitted dick at times, I at least do my best to contribute to the community.

I find it difficult to judge him on offensive throwaway comments he made in private which were secretly recorded against his will. I consider his downfall from this a natural consequence of deciding that having sex with his best friend's wife was a good enough idea to act on. Everything that has resulted from that - the sex tape, the racist comments recorded then released for the world's consideration, the divorces and all that came from those - might have been avoided had Hogan thought with the head between his shoulders instead of the one between his hips.
