I don’t know if Hogan was worried about how interracial couples are still considered taboo and not wanting his daughter to be caught in the figurative or literal crossfire, or if he really was the racist he was depicted as. The only complaint I’ve heard from a black wrestler was how he screwed over Booker T when it came to the title that one time. I was more disappointed when he turned evil and ruined his character, because that I actually saw in action and can confirm. Although in hindsight it may have been more honest than the American Made “say your prayers, take your vitamins, believe in yourself, and believe in the Man Upstairs” (God) persona that fueled Hulkamania. Naturally that doesn’t protect him from what he said, and I only know of one clip that sounds like he’s saying it, but I’m not aware of what his response was to the controversy. It’s like that line from Transformers: Beast Wars: “Tell my tale, tell it truly, the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest is silence.”
