That’s Hulk Hogan.
And after he recieved the Ten Commandments, he tore off his shirt, pointed to the crowd and told the non believers that they would have his wrath at WrestleMania IV
Was hoping for something something announcers table.

Yeah, I was not familiar with the “brother” speech pattern and by the time I figured it out I had 20 upvotes so I was like, fuck it. I’m leaving it up.
But could be Moses
Who is … Moses
Hulk Hogan is a racist piece of shit (and a union buster) and does not deserve to be immortalized in meme form

Caught on tape dropping the hard n over daughter dating a black man. Fuck that asshole.
Three years later, he had this to say…
“With this foundation, I can be accountable. I can learn from my mistakes and I can move forward,” Hogan said. “And what’s so cool now is working with the Boys Club, I have a chance to help these kids not make the mistake I made, being at the wrong place at the wrong time or saying the wrong words.”
No words on equality, changing his attitudes, nope just regrets being caught. Jfc. Prick.
Meme is still funny
i dont think a meme is going to be the make/break with one of the most famous perosnas in all of modern media history dude. youre better off prostesting his torn yellow shirt being in a glass case at your local hard rock cafe
one of the most famous personas in all of modern media history
You might need to expand your horizons. On the historical scale he ranks just above Dog the Bounty Hunter and below Tiger King.
hahaa… listen I didnt say I like the guy. I also was careful to say “modern media history”, not like ‘world history’.
lol I think you’re lumping him in with other gross old trashy blonde guys with shit eater mustaches that look like him
but seriously just to say- respectfully, like the majority of people living in a country with a robust global pop culture would know who he is. he was THE GUY in the 80s. Iconoclastic- like essentially every living person over 25 in Japan, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, Finland etc will likey know who Hulk Hogan is if you show them a photo of him tearing that hulkamania shirt off of his oily leathery body in the WWF ring… he’s possibly the most famous pro wrestler of all time.
Dog the Bounty Hunter? I just really don’t think so.
It probably depends on your age. To people my age (gen x) he’s definitely more famous than either of those guys. He was all over the place in the 80s.
So was Ronald Reagan, Madonna, Bob Sagat, John Elway, Eddie Murphy and hundreds of other people I won’t bother listing that were more significant than some pro wrestler.
I’m not arguing that he was more significant, just that he was pretty fucking famous. What part about this do you not understand?
Most famous personas 🤣🤣🤣
Good lord lemmy users really just don’t wanna enjoy anything 😂
“Let me enjoy this racist, party pooper!”
I had a guy tell me you have to be drunk to enjoy a concert. There are a lot of people here who need to stop taking SSRIs, touch grass, and get laid or something
If you have to be drunk to enjoy something, it probably isn’t that good.
immortalized in meme form
I worry you may have spent a little too much time on the internet for today.
Hes not racist, just made a racist remark like we all have at one point in our lives. He did bust a union though.
Making racists remarks is what makes you a racist. Assuming everyone else has is similarly troubling.
Totally agree.
And even if you don’t say racist things, growing up in the US, the pervasive, insidious racist ideas (e.g., myths, stereotypes, falsehoods) may have infected our thinking.
I think Dr. I. X. Kendi framed it right. It’s on each of us to understand what those racist ideas are, examine ourselves, and choose to fight against them not just in our own minds but everywhere.
Dude, who are you fooling, you expect me to Believe you never dropped an N bomb? What are u getting out of pretending you never said or engaged in racist behavior when we know profiling in the very least is a very ingrained primitive behavior. Keep living in your fantasy land.
I want you to know that the “default” is NOT saying racist shit.

I’ve never once dropped the hard n and I can’t think of anyone who has even my late racist dad. That term comes from a place of bigotry against black people.

Dude, who are you fooling, you expect me to Believe you never dropped an N bomb?
Yes. Millions of people can say the same.
Sounds like maybe you are surrounded and raised by racists? That sucks man.
On the other hand, our whole culture has been steeped in racism, ever since Europeans first set foot on the continent. So probably not a lot of people can truly say they’ve never had a racist thought or held some racial bias or did some racist thing, whether unknowingly or not. Because there are lots of manifestations of racist ideas and if one is white, one is probably blind to at least some of it.
It’s a lot easier to never say a specific, disgusting slur.
Are you saying only white people can be blind to their racism? Lol
That’s a real roundabout way of admitting you’re a racist, dude

I’ve never dropped an N bomb. Normal people don’t, and that is absolutely not what internalized or ingrained racism refers to. It refers to the more insidious subconscious racist tendencies, those which I do fall prey to and have to actively unlearn the same as anyone else. The kind of overt racism you’re describing is not the same, and has never been justifiable or explainable, it’s just disgusting and racist. If you truly think everyone else goes around using racial slurs, you absolutely need a reality check and probably some serious amends making, you fucking weirdo
Dang why couldn’t you have posted this a minute earlier before I started writing my comment lol?
snopes doesn’t know what Moses looked like
for all we know the ark of the covenant could have had turnbuckles.
snopes doesn’t know what Moses looked like
He actually looked like Brutus the Barber Beefcake.
An actual “or maybe not brother” in the wild.
Nuh uh
Could also be Trevor from GTA V… or maybe just the way he looked after I got him out of the barber shop
How tf do they reconstruct someone who we don’t even know whether or not they existed?
They took the dna sample from holy bible
Supposedly the copy Moses jacked off all over
Or just licked it
You mean to suggest someone would lie on the internet? How preposterous!
glares really hard at the shroud of Turin
It’s a meme. See Snopes.
hmm let’s take a look at the first reply on that comment
Trevor on his way to get the jews out of egypt between two bank heists.
then again, he might not
God: Here are the 10 Commandments
Moses Hogan: That doesn’t work for me brother.
What about Moses Hulk?
Fitting, since he was speaking to his brother.
Hey Fry-man, check this out!
parts the red sea
Does anyone remember Moses meat shoes?
We have zero evidence what he looked like. The region was extremely ethnicly diverse. He could have looked like anything really, from pasty blond/red haired white guy to dark skinned. Most likely just similar to your average people in the region today.
So what you’re saying is that there is a possibility he looked like Hulk Hogan?
Maybe zero evidence isn’t quite true. I wonder what the researchers worked off to make this guess? Skulls from archaeological digs in the area? Egyptian art? It’s a fair guess, at least, that Moses’ hairstyle would have links with contemporary Egyptian culture, given where and how he grew up. But I agree at most it all probably amounts to very loose guesswork.
Or did they just pump into AI: “make a picture of Moses that looks different to medieval and early 20thC style, that will give me academia-likes.” ;-)
Edit: ah, pity, looks like this is a joke rather than a real ‘reconstruction’. I also didn’t read the fact-check before I commented!
Oh yes of course, a “pasty blond /red haired white guy” is similar to average people in the region today, thanks for the insight
that’s not what I said. learn to read more carefully
I extrapolated and it’s a fucking meme anyway, no need to do deep analysis lol
Learn to take memes less seriously
I take it seriously when someone puts words in my mouth, which is just a douchbag thing to do, especially if you show zero remorse for it
“Remorse” everything so deathly serious for you. Have a good night man

Glad to see the research budget is being well spent
Especially the imaginary research budgets.
Step brother, I need u, I’m stuck in the dryer.
