Hey, this is a days old post, stop reporting it and discussing whether or not the use of the n-word is okay or not. That is troll bait and I get why you respond once, but stop after that. The people refuting the word were pretty good under the circumstances, so I'm not locking it yet. If I removed your comment, it's so the troll baiting won't work anymore on anyone else.

Edit: Stop reporting the actual post, not the comments in it. I'll go over everything. Always report the kind of crap going on inside the comment section. Sorry about that, I missed a lot.

    ventura dint do any favors either, basically he said f you guys your on your own if you dint unionize with me, he only said it because had a backup plan, a union with sag-aftra, so it basically abandoned them, dint care about thier potential fall out. the wrestlers dint have much power it at the time, if the other wrestlers were also actors, they wouldve unionize, most of them were scared to do so.

    he also has a history with PETER THIEL too, because thiel bankrolled hogans lawsuit against Gawker, as part of a vendetta for reporting on his business pratices, plus him being gay.

    Losing Gawker was a big turning point for the public not having a consistent satirical biting rag news site. Looking back, losing gawker probably contributed to the enshitification of Reddit too with the influx of Gawker commenters. We may never have been able to avoid the current reality but if Gawker was around still it would have certainly been different.

    He's right, everyone is a little racist. That's what happens when you're raised in a racist society.

    But that shit was really racist

    Dude pulled nearly $200,000,000 for charity giving his last concert. If he deserves to be hell, Hogan should be elsewhere.

    I guess we're all a little racist.

    Cope. Racists simply can't imagine that being a hateful bigot makes them a bad person- so they HAVE to pretend that everyone feels that way but we just keep it quiet.

    I had a co-worker who insisted he wasn't racist, but he did hate 'Sand-Nwords'. He said "Everybody hates one group or another". He refused to believe that I hate literally no one in the world because of their race.

    Yeah, this is straight up “I have a black friend” and citing the wealthy basketball payer as worthy is “You’re one of the good ones.”

    Bet if questioned publicly he’d have said he’s not racist.

    He tried to walk it back after facing the consequences- who knows if it was genuine or an attempt to salvage his reputation.

    "Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it. This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs."

    BS clickbait is annoying, but it shouldn't be made literally illegal.

    Gawker was found civilly liable for defamation after publishing details from Hulk Hogan's sex tape. They also published a recording of the quote in the OP, I don't remember if it was from that tape or a separate incident. The size of the judgement against them basically bankrupted the company.

    BS clickbait is, for better or worse, still completely legal.
