I understand all that, that's not my bone of contention. Believe me I am not equating the word cac with the n-word... even though on this forum the intent is the same.
Bruh... this quote RIGHT HERE tells me you kind of all. the work CAC is NOT IN ANYWAY an equivalent to the word ******. There will NEVER be one for white Americans. CAC is spun off of a joke Chris Rock made, yes it has intentions as a racial term but its spun from a joke first. Not even in the same light, the fact you'd even compare the two tells me, you have slight issues with it and probably just "tolerate it" because you don't want to pick that fight...
In this case I just believe hogan used the n-word to describe a certain kind of person... the black equivalent of white trash so to speak.
The problem here bruh, is that you do not know Hogan. You don't know him personally, you don't know him professionally and you don't know him historically. You merely know the character he's played on TV for decades. For you to even speak on how he meant it is guesswork at best and at worse completely covering for his actions. Why even do it?
I just don't think he has a hatred towards black ppl. It would have came out already. He's an a$$hole, a bad father, a liar, maybe even a tad prejudice... but I am hesitant to put him up there with John Rocker and David Duke.
I know it's jokes around here but I'm with rock... I really think he was just talking "trash"
His words speak differently.
Understand something, everyone sees racism differently, but personally I've always seen it as levels. EVERY single human being has some sort of prejudice and bias and personally I think that is ok, but when your biases and racially based, NEGATIVE and not rooted in reality or fact, THEN it becomes racist and that is exactly what Hogan is guilty of. We are witnessing the thought process he has while using the word, the inherent justification of said actions by him and complete apathy towards the actual usage or targets of the term. Its TEXTBOOK racism 101.
This doesn't mean he is a hidden KKK member or as racist as anyone who the public deems as a racist, but he DEFINATLEY is guilty of the title. We may not know I he's a "level 1 racist" or a full out "level 10 racist" but the muthafukka IS a racist. We just don't yet know HOW racist he is.
He certainly isn't too racist to turn down a black check tho
