*The backlash over Hulk Hogan using the N-word multiple times on a sex tape has netted the pro wrestling icon a fair share of critics as well as those willing to forgive him for what happened.
But the Hulkster is still playing with fire as he retweeted a comment from a supporter that brings President Barack Obama into the situation, according to Complex.
The tweet in question comes from “citizen journalist” @WolfsheadOnline, who wondered why it was acceptable for President Obama to use the N-word during an interview last month while Hogan is taken to task for using it.
“Bi-racial President Obama uses N word, is applauded and keeps his job. @HulkHogan uses N word, is vilified and loses his job.” — Wolfshead Online (@WolfsheadOnline) July 27, 2015
What these pea brains are failing to understand is the context in which President Obama used the word. In fact, Hulk Hogan’s use of the word “n*gger” in his rant is exactly the point the president was making.
Prior to retweeting the comment, Hogan took a moment to thank those who have stood by him throughout his current troubles via the following tweet:
I’m overwhelmed by the love and support of the millions of people that never 4 a moment left my side,I’m grateful,truly humbled,only love HH

Thank you everyone for believing in me and knowing me”who I really am”,I’m tired now,with u guys by my side I’m ready for tomorrowonlyloveHH

Needless to say, Hogan has generated a noticeable response on Twitter from people who have something to say about his choice of retweets. Check out the reactions below:
@WolfsheadOnline @HulkHogan I was willing to forgive, but this retweet is just shameful. Can’t be serious. It’s called “context” & “intent”.

@HulkHogan that retweet about Obama saying the N word shows you clearly don’t understand what you did wrong

Man I am pulling for Hulk Hogan to put the BS behind him but it’s hard to believe he could be stupid enough for his latest retweet.

So what say you? Did Hogan raise a good point with highlighting Obama’s use of the N-word versus his own or is he just grasping at straws? Weigh in below:
