People need to throw there cards on the table and not be afarid to use racial slurs so that perhaps some of this elitist crap will come to an end. We're all humans and the more we dodge the fact that people are racist the worse the bigotry will get. People just have to be honest rather then walking on egg shells. The problem with racists is that most of them aren't vocal, if people were just more honest perhaps we could solve this problem.

But then again comming from a white kid from the suburbs I guess you could take waht I say with a grain of salt, because I love in a town where 99% of the population is caucasions...
There's a difference between "Let's pretend racism doesn't exist!" and "This has no place in pro wrestling."

This isn't high culture, art, or whatever. This is cheap entertainment. A low-brow ballet with a bunch of sweaty guys grabbing each other for a title. People don't tune in to see a reflection of modern culture in a professional sport environment. It's athleticism and entertainment and some cheap fun. People tune in to see disbelief suspended and such.

How often, I must ask, does wrestling really reflect real life anyways? Do you often feel the burden of being a Super-Hero In Training? Do you frequently get beat up by an abusive boss/manager? Are there stables in your workplace?Does being a good rapper make you a better athelete?
