I honestly don't even care about skin color. I see everyone as equal. Hell... if they all had purple skin none of this would be a problem. I see it as "heel is telling face not to beat up another heel or he is fired" ... that's not racist...just stale. But the fact that race was brought into it makes it just silly, stupid, and uncalled for.
The silliest thing of all is that most Smarks LOVE Teddy Long (as do I, quite frankly) but he is basically the other side of the racist coin. If Austin is doing racist things, if HHH is making racist speeches...then Teddy Long is as well...just aiming it in the other direction.
I just hope this will put an end to it.
