Hulk Hogan A Racist?

The Left’s politically correct cult has claimed another scalp: professional wrestler, Hulk Hogan.

World Wrestling Entertainment fired the legendary wrestler and severed all ties–including completely scrubbing him from their website–on Friday, after a video was released where Hogan launched a racial tirade.

The video, recorded nearly a decade ago, shows Hogan attacking a black man who was, at the time, dating his daughter, Brooke.

On the tape, Hogan said, “I mean, I’d rather if [Brooke] was going to f**k some n****r, I’d rather her marry an 8-foot-tall n****r worth a hundred million dollars, like a basketball player.”

He added, “I guess we’re all a little racist. F**king n****r.”

“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,” Hogan told People Magazine.

He added: “This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated different based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs, or otherwise.”

But for Hogan–who has become an iconic for his look, his wrestling prowess, and for starring in the reality TV show, “Hogan Knows Best” with his family–an apology may not be enough. WWE, so far, shows no sign of forgiving.
