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.

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.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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."

Sounds like a generic, well-edited apology that we hear far too often from people that usually don’t mean it.

Isn’t it so crazy how these people talking casually among their friends is never “who they are” but them walking it back via a publicist because it hurt them is who they actually are?

Just sooo crazy! And the one and only time they’re talking like “someone they’re not” someone happens to be recording it and it’s bad for their career! The world sure is a crazy place

sand-nwords? What would that be? A slur for the nomads of the Saharra? Bedouines?

[–] trublu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

This was a derogatory term for middle easterners that cropped up (to my awareness, anyway, and I don't care to go searching around to fact check myself on this point) in the xenophobia following 9/11.

[–] deepus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Seems like it would be for anyone brown tbh. Y'no, cause racists think all brown people lve in the desert.

Dude was also the reason unions in wrestling never went anywhere. So a racist and a fucking union buster sellout. Good riddance.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 24 points 5 days ago (2 children)

How?

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 123 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He ratted out Jesse Ventura to McMahon when Jesse was trying to get his wrestling colleagues to join a union. Source.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 27 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

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.

I forgot who was trying to organize the union (Ventura??), but Hogan found out and ran to Vince McMahon.

Rest in Piss

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

if you didn't before, now you know why he was campaigning for mango mussolini

[–] Laser@feddit.org 18 points 3 days ago

I mean, he had a point.

Just kidding, he was a piece of shit

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 109 points 5 days ago (6 children)

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

Ozzy dragged Hogan down on his way to Hell to do us all a favor

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don't put him in hell or it's going to kill the vibe down there. Shove him in heaven with all the other insufferable dicks.

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

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 24 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Ozzy would be there because it's metal, Hogan would be there to suffer.

It's not that Ozzy deserves to be in hell. It's because, being the Prince of Darkness, he bought some nice real estate there.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago

He's one of the ones that can come and go as he pleases

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

You don't understand, Ozzy Osbourne is not damned, he is there simply because he wants to trip crazy train with Allister Crowley

My response when told....Oh no, a dead racist.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

While racist, yes, it's funny how money appears to be the bigger issue to him. Sounds like he would be cool with Diddy.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Remember these things come in threes. Hmmmmmmm... I wonder what other major 80s/90s icons who had reality TV shows come to mind?

I wonder...
