Who is he yelling at? I don’t follow Flair on Twitter and racist or not, Flair can probably spell his own name. Whoever he is tweeting at added the “K” in Ric.

Not excusing it, and I’ll admit to not knowing Flairs life outside of the common wrestling fan but are we going to condemn a 70 year old guy for allegedly saying one thing, one time , twenty five years ago so we’re just done with him?
I think Flairs womanizing and apparent willingness to whip his junk out that have been well known and laughed at are more horrible than being a dick and dropping an N bomb once.

What's strange is that in Flair's first book, he seemed legitimately disturbed by Missouri Mauler and Brute Bernard's racism. He could be racist to a point but more extreme racism might still upset him maybe. Or perhaps he’s a hypocrite

There isn’t a recording of it so ric will probably get away with it anyway

You can have racist leanings and still think people like the KKK and other white supremacists are complete scum of the earth.

People can be racist and not a flat out card carrying member of the Klan or the like. Flair could be less overtly racist and he could be massively taken aback by other peoples more overt racism.

Yeah I stopped caring about him years ago when I 1st saw that teddy long clip. Add to the fact all those pics recently of him with dipshit hogan being all buddy buddy and having each other’s backs and support and yeah...... birds of a feather. Could care less about either to be honest. So you do care? Not in the slightest

Exactly. I heard a story (and this may well be bullshit) that Hogan and Flair were in a gym together and Flair was being racist to a black guy and “known racist (nowadays” Hogan was pulling Flair away and apologising. Probably BS but I heard that recently

YOU WANNA COME OUT HERE AND BOTHER ME, ASKING ME DO I KNOW THIS? DO I KNOW THAT? WHAT? HUH? WHAT? WHAT? DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CARE? WHAT? DO YOU CARE? TELL ME, DO YA CARE? DO YA CARE? DO YA CARE? DO YA CARE? WHAT? YOU TRYING TO SAY YOU DON’T LIKE STONE COLD? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAAAAT? (Sorry first thing that made me think of was a glorious heel Austin promo)

But you “could care less”. That means you do care at least some amount if you could care less about it!

When it comes to stories like this, I find it funny/disturbing that when the name Ashley comes up, they mean Charlotte. So, per se, when Ashley kicked the heck outta a cop... That was Charlotte. Yikes.

If Flair had no other issues with other black people, like Jim Heard mentioned maybe Ric only had a problem with Teddy himself.

I just sorta assumed that there was all types of abhorrent behavior going on back then. The incident, with Teddy, happened a long time ago. Maybe he’s a different person, now. But maybe he’s not. I think it’s best not to view any of these people as heroes. We don’t know the real people. All we see is the characters they play on TV. And that’s where I leave it Right. Wrestling fans have perhaps a more intimate fandom than most any other forms of entertainment, but we still don't *know* these people.

It's pretty telling when very few people in the business have nice things to say about you. Ric Flair's backstage antics, politicking, and duplicitous nature have left him few friends outside of Arn Anderson.

Ric Flair's backstage antics, politicking, and duplicitous nature have left him few friends outside of Arn Anderson. And even there, are those 2 still on the outs? I recall talk a year ago or so (before Ric's near-death health crisis) that Arn had just finally had enough of Ric's shit & lifestyle and they hadn't talked much over the past few years.

Flair is older than this earth that we inhabit, so I am not shocked.
A lot of rich old guys are kinda racist, lets just hope we never get a recording like with Hogan lol.
