My niece, who is white as snow, used smurf growing up with her friends. It isn't meant to be a negative thing, this was explained to you already. It is just another way of saying "homie" or "my friend". It just caught on with other groups because of hip hop and marketing of urban fashion, food, and lifestyle.
That's what my point is. If Hogan used that word then what's wrong with it? He has already been penalized for it and it was for long enough for such a petty crime.
