RD, what do you think is the most racist character ever?
A decade ago, during the WWF's cartoon era, a friend was doing this neighborhood backyard fed when we were kids. We'd pretty much copy WWF characters gimmicks, and mannerisms, and he made up this character named "Big Brown Bomb", who was....get ready...an AFRICAN-AMERICAN Adam Bomb ripoff.
And you thought you were the worst booker of all time.

I thought Col. DeBeers was the most racist considering his whole angle was based on Apartheid.

Nation of Domination was the most racist faction. There is reverse racism. I thought that angle just YELLED out racism!
Also Teddy Long a year ago with his Haterade and holding the black man down in the WWE.

Skinhead Ivan and he's still doing the gimmick to this day. He gives Seig Heil salute, welcoming his "white soldiers" and ripping on color fans.

Saba Simba... dancing masked, bare foot African guy with... a spear? *shudders.*
But, seeing how its 2005 now, I'd like Jerry Lawler to maybe stop accusing Booker T and Shelton Benjamin of having criminal pasts. They should also probably not be referred to as "uppity" by an arrogant white champion ever again.

Samba Simba would be up there, Akeem was pretty bad.
Although Mammamad brings out the most raccist response from crowds/commentry.

Yes I realise that but he was a white guy playing a "funky brother".

Skinhead Ivan is the most racist wrestler I have ever seen, I only saw him once on the wrestling channel, I even wrote a post about him on the old wrestlecrap forum.

Reverse racism is such a stupid term. Isn't reverse racism really by definition being not racist?
That being the case, I'll make a strong argument in favor of naming either New Jack or Bad News Brown/Allen the most racist wrestler alive. And that's a shoot.

I thought that Piper's angle with Brown where Roddy painted half his body black was hilarious....but many found it to be racist.

And not to mention Pipers angle with Golddust was one of the most homophobic things i've ever seen. Even when Dust was fueding with Razor, there were obvious homoerotic overtones there but they never really played the "I hate gays" card quite like they did with Piper. I hope he's proud of that.

There are two wrestlers known as Ku Klux Klown and the Oi Boy, who uses a finisher called ''Bite the Curb'' taken from the movie ''American History X.''

if you guys are gonna name "racist" characters like akeem and the nation why not throw in hillbilly jim and uncle elmer?
lawler is an idiot but him saying booker t had a criminal past isn't racist. it's the truth. although i don't think it has anything to do with his angle or character.
michael cole says luther reigns was in jail and shot and stabbed. is that racist? no.
racism is blown out of proportion.

I seem to remember the fans actually reacting quite violently to Goldust at that point in time...and not like a "Rico" reaction, but a full out, frothing rage violent reaction. The WWF actually had to edit the screaming chants of "Faggot!" out of their broadcasting.
