What people who say we should forgive Hogan and let it go forget is that it isn't that easy in today's world. That isn't my fault or WWE's fault it's unfortunately just the way this media inspired country/world is now. Hogan's words are out there and they cannot be erased. Going on TV and apologizing and saying that's just how I grew up and how it was in the South can't be considered acceptable as an excuse because when you're traveling the world and meeting people from all races, creeds and gender you have the opportunity to realize that these kind of views are outdated and wrong.

The more we become apologists for people saying racist shit and it becoming public, the more we flounder in this weird place where we say racism is dwindling but it's still accepted by a large amount of people who make excuse as to why words are okay.

Now, I don't believe Hogan would go around throwing racial slurs at people, but his words are out there and they aren't going away. People want WWE in this new harsh media time to let it go? To say he apologized and let his name represent a part of who they are? They can't. If people search Hulk Hogan and end up at his page on wwe.com that is a problem for them. Yes there have been racist people there and there probably still are but thy aren't currently on blast in the media so people can say, hey! WWE is behind them! Their choices are limited. He will probably be quietly added back once all this goes away, but for now I still don't see what options they had.
