Let’s get something clear: Hulk Hogan is a character. Terry Bollea is the man who played him—and that man has a racist track record that too many folks conveniently forget.

Whenever someone famous does something foul, the defense always starts the same: “But they gave to charity.” I see this a lot when people bring up Hulk Hogan’s past comments. “He’s done so much for kids,” they say. “He’s a legend.”

Okay. And?

You know who else “did a lot for the kids”? John Wayne Gacy. He was a party clown. He donated to churches. He showed up for fundraisers. And he also murdered over 30 boys and buried them in the crawlspace of his home. The charity didn’t cancel out the horror. It never does.

But we love nostalgia. We don’t want to deal with the truth when it tarnishes childhood memories. So we separate. We excuse. We sanitize.

But here’s the thing: if your “good deeds” only matter when it’s time to dodge consequences, they weren’t good deeds. They were PR.

This idea that charity work is a golden get-out-of-accountability card? Trash it. Let’s raise the bar back up from hell.

Ask yourself—why are you more uncomfortable with someone calling out a racist than you are with the racism itself?
