Let me just start with this:
🕊️ Rest in peace to the man who once body-slammed a 500-pound giant... but couldn’t wrestle his way out of a racist scandal.
Yes, Hulk Hogan — the wrestling icon with 24-inch pythons and a problematic vocabulary — has died. And social media, especially Black Twitter and TikTok, is on fire. Not mourning. Not mixed emotions. Full-on roast mode.
But let me ask a few questions. And I want you to be honest — painfully honest:
🤔 Why is it that when a white man messes up, y’all become social justice warriors overnight...
But when a Black person spews hate, prejudice, or straight-up racism?
🦗 Crickets.
🎤 Silence.
📱 Scrolls past with a double tap.
📽️ The Greatest Hits of Hypocrisy:
Let’s rewind, shall we?
In 2015, Hulk Hogan was caught on tape using the N-word and expressing disgust about his daughter dating a Black man. He was dragged, fired by WWE, and disowned by public opinion for years.
He later apologized. Not once. Multiple times. Was it enough? That depends on who you ask.
Now fast-forward to 2025. He dies.
And suddenly:
> “ROT IN HELL, BIGOT!” “Good riddance, racist roid-head!” “We don’t care. He hated us. Bye!”
Fair. But then I scroll down and see...
> “White people can’t say nothin’ anymore!” “Y’all lucky we don’t do to y’all what y’all did to us.”
👀 Oh. Okay.
🎭 Let’s Be Honest: You Don’t Want Justice — You Want Revenge.
Because if we really believed in progress and healing, we wouldn’t be throwing online funeral parties every time a controversial white person dies.
Instead, we’d be:
Calling out racism across the board.
Owning our own bias, too.
Holding EVERYONE accountable, not just the people with paler skin.
But nope. It’s 2025 and y’all still think:
✅ Dragging a dead white man = activism
❌ Acknowledging your own racism = betrayal
🧠 FACT: Black people can be racist too.
Let’s stop playing. Prejudice, hate, xenophobia, double standards — they don’t have a race.
I’ve seen some of the most unhinged, hateful, anti-white comments coming from people who claim to fight "oppression". And I’m like:
> “Sis… if your equality requires somebody else to shut up and disappear, maybe it’s not equality.”
🧨 Want a Real Scandal?
You know what’s really outrageous?
The fact that we keep teaching young Black kids that they’re always victims and never capable of hurting others.
That we praise people who “speak truth to power,” but only when the power is white.
That some people spend more time dragging a dead man than reading a book or mentoring their own communities.
💔 Nostalgia Ain’t a Crime
I grew up watching Hulk Hogan. Me, my mom, my cousins — every Saturday, we watched the man rip his shirt and yell “Whatcha gonna do, brother?!” like it was gospel.
And I’m supposed to erase all that because of one tape?
Listen. Accountability is necessary.
But erasing people from your memory like they’re Voldemort doesn’t make you woke. It just makes you selective.
📢 The Internet Isn’t Real Life
Let me say this loud:
> Not all white people are evil.
Not all Black people are right.
And Hulk Hogan was a problematic man who still meant a lot to many childhoods — mine included.
You don’t have to mourn him. But you don’t get to be racist and then claim moral high ground either.
📝 Final Bell: Let’s Get Real
Cancel culture is inconsistent.
Selective outrage is hypocrisy.
And accountability should go both ways.
You can be hurt by racism without becoming hateful. You can critique anything and everything without becoming a bully. And you can admit Hulk Hogan was part of your childhood without endorsing his past.
🎤 Outro?
I’ll leave you with this:
> “Some of y’all aren’t fighting for justice. You’re fighting for your turn to be the oppressor.”
Fix that.
May Hulk Hogan rest. May the hypocrisy not.💪🏻🕊️
