Hulk Hogan is back at it again, digging an even deeper hole for himself in the fallout from Friday’s revelation that he is a self-admitted racist.
Hogan has been retweeting supportive messages from his fans telling him that they know Hogan’s flippant use of the N-word does not represent the man he truly is.
On Sunday night, Hogan retweeted the following message to his 1.35 million followers:

Hogan is already getting a lot of negative media backlash for his endorsement of the tweet, which takes President Obama’s use of the word completely out of context. During an appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast last month, the President used the N-word to communicate that racism is still alive and well in America.
“Racism, we are not cured of it. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say n*gger in public,” Obama said.
“That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.”
Apparently Hogan does not see the difference between President Obama’s use of the word and his own statements admitting to be a racist and complaining that his daughter might be sleeping with an African American rapper instead of a rich, 8-foot-tall athlete, which he would have found more acceptable.
