I saw where George Foreman said Hogan was not a racist or at least he did not think he was. It is weird to me how language can make someone a racist even if actions say otherwise. I called some of the people I work with racists because of some of the jokes they make and some of the language they use. We have some blacks that work there, and my co-workers like and get along with them. One was the ex-con. He did not know much about what we do, but would do whatever was asked of him and if he saw something that needed to be done would do without be told. He was an easy going guy. He was hired as part of a community work thing and the contract ran out, so is gone. Another black guy there works for the general contractor. He is a hard working guy, friendly and really good to work around.
People can get along with other races and still talk a certain way. I am not sure what that means in real life. I know here if a person says certain things they are terrible racists. I think real life is sometimes different.

Yeah, you keep defending the racists and bigots and drunks. Nicely done! Hat trick!

Some of your best friends people who you used to work with are black, and you had nothing against those people, so defending that kind of toxic speech makes you A-OK?

Who even knew he was still wrestling? I thought he was long retired.

no one really cares that Hulk Hogan said ------. That is kind of nice.
