You know it's bad when the best defense you got is that you were only trying to make fun of starving Ethiopians.

I'm not even gonna attempt to link it here, but it's audio of Cornette talking about what I presume is Smokey Mountain era stuff and then just....saying the n word. Over. And over. And over. And over.

And just like with Hogan, you know it's f***ed when the N-word is arguably not the worst part of it, the bit he says at the end of the clip is maybe even more f***ed up, since you could make a (pitiful) defense of "oh he was trying to get a reaction", but that last bit is the mask fully off, same as how Hogan's dropping the N-bomb was bad, but still perhaps not as despicable as racial purity meat of why he said it to begin with. It's all a deeply unpleasant package deal of racism.

I'm gonna say yes because it certainly sounds like the exact type of thing that would be called "that one" I'd never heard it before tonight and like...oof. Double oof. Triple oof. One billion oofs.

I just started watching NWA Powerrr too. I watched the 1st 3 episodes and I thought it was great & was looking forward to watching it again. I didn't even mind Jim Cornette on commentary, and I really don't like him personally.

I'm not sure when it was but my guess would be a 2000s interview cause it has that sorta tone. But still though, just finding out that this exists is like...holy shit.

Is there a day in this planet Cornette is not trying to poke the ice? They should hire him on South Park staff.

HOLY SHIT!!! He used the f***ing er at the end of the N word and repeated it multiple times I’m someone who hears the N word daily just from living in NY and being black and I have never felt as offended as I do now cause that shit left his mouth so casually like it was so matter of fact F*** him

Yeah, I'd heard OF it, but this is my first time hearing it, and it's many times worse than I thought it was going to be. Like, any illusion it's him being an overgrown edgelord just looking for a reaction is dashed at the end of that audio, where he says the quiet part out loud, as people would say. Cornette loves to play dog whistles, but this was a foghorn.

What amazes me is that I felt myself reacting even worse to the last part of the clip just due to the breathtaking ignorance it displays.

This is the guy who made a joke about the Challenger disaster on TBS the same year as the actual disaster. Well, it would've aired had Dusty not shut down production and told Cornette to do the promo again. Hell, if we're pulling up old stuff, we don't even have to leave 2019. Here he is back in January, advocating and calling for the Nazi concentration camp-style murder of wrestlers who say wrestling is staged: Ok, that's what makes me say "f*** Jim Cornette Forever." It's not even "he's a miserable bastard now but had a lot of great insight into wrestling history and I wish he'd get back into it" anymore. You don't get to make light of the horrors my people went through for some outdated wrestling opinion you carny f***.

This audio is amazing, because it shows the cognitive dissonance with this sort of thing.
Cornette gives an explanation that's supposed to mitigate the use of the word, "Oh, I just say it to make people mad, and I was trying to make him mad!" Then, emotionally satisfied he's let himself off the hook, he IMMEDIATELY contradicts it: "Oh, but I wasn't talking to him, I was talking to the other person." Like in less than five seconds.
And I don't think he's ever lying, per se... it just shows how people make these things up as they go along, and the purpose isn't to be coherent, but to protect self-esteem.
