So what you're saying is, despite the fact he said something that offends an entire race of people, it doesn't matter, because by your judgement a good portion of people has used it, correct?

He just used the N word which most of the black people use all the time so I don't think its that bad

And for the record, it wasn't a racist joke. And they don't need him in the company to honor the positives they recieved from him. Since when he blasted out a certain word, it told myself, and every other Black person it anyone mixed with Black, including wrestlers struggling in this business, that he doesn't give a shit about us. So I disagree, I don't want him back in the WWE. His actions helped when it was needed, but he's no longer needed.

Then why won't you say it, if it isn't so bad?

Just because many other people have said racist jokes or racist things doesn't make it okay for Hogan to do it nor anyone else.
I don't care what color you are, racism is racism and it isn't right to do toward any group of people.

I don't want Hogan back because I never liked him but I can understand people not wanting him back based on what he has said. People can change and I am not doubting he did but the damage was done. The thing about being a public figure is... people tend not to forget your mistakes, even if you are sorry for them. He shouldn't have acted the way he did or said the things he did and maybe people would still have respect for him.

I do think everyone deserves forgiveness because we are all human and we all suck but it isn't my call or anyone else's call to tell others how they should feel about situations like this.

Reclaiming of the word. Turning something negative into positive, that's why it's used among peers. Not the first time the English language has been adjusted for definition, there's plenty of slang. Not that hard to see man.

Not everyone handles things the same, that is life. My family came over from Italy and was called wops and other slang insults. Just because it isn't common today doesn't make it okay.

And for the record if ya'll want Hogan, then you can have him. I personally don't want him back. At the end of the day it's the WWE's decision, and I still disagree with them, but it's their company.

N word is one of the most common words amongst the black people. If they are uncomfortable with others using it than they should probably look to limit the usage of this word

That is not your place to say that. Funny how it's not such a bad word, yet you still can't even say it. Never once have I even tell you how you should handle your culture because it's not my place.

You have people out there who think the "Sticks and Stones" thing will heal it

But in the end It will they will never truly know how it feels when a racist slur is said to someone and their people.

A non black person will never know how it feels to be called an N word,

just like a Black person know what it's like to be called a non black racist slur

You will never know what person feels until you walk in their shoes.

And the shoes I am talking about that guy Alphamale can never walk in.
