what's worse is Hogan has over 30 years of good cache built up, "forgive" is the wrong phrase, most would just move the fukk on from the "Hogan business" I don't avoid his matches if they come on on the network for instance since he was involved in one of my favorite storylines ever obviously but i'm still tight towards him. Quite a bit of it has to do with so many non black folks being so insistent black people forgive him and move on immediately, it wouldn't have blown up to the proportion that it has if the parties who aren't even the targets of his words, ignorance and malice had just shut the fukk up and let us deal with it on our on time.
Like damn, give us a minute to be upset at least, the transcripts weren't even done being read before people on this very board were like

hey guys lets not jump to conclusions and overreact here. The arrogance of some people thinking they have the right to tell others how they get to react to something is appalling. If I walked down the street and shoved someone and it prompted them to pull a gun do I have the right to tell them they are overreacting to the current situation?
The world moves FAST these days, yes he would have taken a hit with some of us who know the extent of the racism Hogan extended when speaking about his OWN DAUGHTER dating a black man because we've been there. .. Hulk would've gotten the standard meme and gif treatment most celebrities get when they fukk up royally and it likely would have gone away for the most part by now because every day is a new chance for a "celeb" to say and do some fukked up shyt word to the Donald Trump's of the world
but the fact so many NON blacks were all over social media proclaiming their love for Hulk "he made a mistake, we all make mistakes blah blah blah" telling us we need to chill is why its still an issue and a talking point to begin with.
Austin would've done well to say no comment, I know we live in a society where no comment = co-sign but why even touch it.
