This reminds me of when Booker told the story of what happened after he called Hulk Hogan the n-word. Hogan came up to him after the show and said "Don't worry, I'm a good *n-word*"

Can I just make the observation that when I'm hanging out with my black friends, we frequently make derogatory remarks about each other's races, including but not limited to the particular slurs? Also, you can use those things for humour satirically. Agreed. If saying the N-Word or making racial jokes (about any race) was a crime, me and every single one of my friends, black or otherwise, would be serving 25 to life. As would everyone on this forum. It's all about context. I am a big Russell Peters fan and his comedy act is almost entirely mocking races and their stereotypes. In other words, Hogan saying the N-Word in private, without any real dig at black people, would be about the most un-newsworthy item in the media today, if that is what in fact happened. Michael Richards went on a racist rant. There is a clear difference. Hogan is well liked among the "minority" wrestlers I have seen do shoot interviews, so if he is in fact racist he doesn't seem to treat anyone differently in person. Hell, the people that hate him the most are white (Bret, Savage, Doink, etc) and for reasons unrelated to his personality. Call me skeptical on this one. I'd have to see it to believe it. I agree with you for the most part, but its all about perception here. It obviously depends on what was said and such, but lets play hypotheticals and say he's talking in a racist manner amongst other white people, it would torpedo Hulk in many respects, from endorsements and such, and I'd not be surprised at all if TNA cut ties with him after something like that. Public perception of racism is a lot different than private and I have no doubts that the media would have an absolute field day with allegations of that sort.
