Re: Disappointments HULK HOGAN

...

I just don't know what to say. I'm not sure if those private tapes where he was saying the N word were leaked or what. On one hand I'm angry that he would talk like that and on the other I feel like celebrities are under a huge microscope and can't speak their mind without risk of their stardom turning on them. I'm sure EVERYONE has made a really shitty racist remark in a moment of anguish where we weren't thinking, but oh my God if a celeb does it they're horrible forever.

There's no excuse for racist remarks and I get that. He apologized for it and it seems sincere. It won't fix his reputation much however I think his willingness to man up and admit he fucked up says a lot. It doesn't sound like he apologized to save himself, rather, he apologized because he genuinely feels bad.

But I'm white so I can't speak for anyone but myself. I can't pretend to understand the impact of the N word so all I can say is I'm really disappointed in the Hulkster. He should have thought before he spoke because I think he alienated a huge part of his fanbase.

I would say that, from what I've seen of transcripts and such, it doesn't seem like this was some casual unfortunate joking, or some momentary slip, or something.

This. From what I read, it doesn't sound like a one off slip of the tongue, it sounded like he was expressing some racist thoughts about black men in particular, then trying to rationalize those racist comments.

...I know I should just google it, but I don't know what exactly happened. He was caught on a racist tirade or something?

Apparently he said some racist stuff during pillow talk in a sex tape.

I think the racist stuff was in a separate tape, but it came out as a result of discovery from the sex tape trial

Nope, apparently it's on the same sex tape.

Unfortunately, he (allegedly) didn't know he was taped while having the sex in which he had these infamous comments.
