I was watching some old WWF stuff today, and I realized something that almost seems rather racist by the WWE back then.
It seemed that almost every wrestler that stole Undertaker's urn was black. You have Mr. Hughes, Kama, and King Mabel, all stole it from the Undertaker. Seems kind of racist by WWE almost to have the majority of wrestlers who took the urn to be black.
Now I know Ron Simmons said in an interview before KOTR 97 that Vince McMahon was a racist, but I know that was story line talk.... or was it?? Does anyone think there might be 'some' truth to this??

It doesn't matter. The urn was only a flashlight anyway.

Yes, Vince is racist. Supposedly, the best way he could think up for insulting Dusty Rhodes was naming a black man after him, Virgil, which is Dusty's real name. Bischoff didn't appreciate it and named the same wrestler Vincent.

Bischoff didn't appreciate it and named the same wrestler Vincent. I know the names for Virgil in the WWF and WCW were jabs at Dusty and Vince, but I never once heard, Vince named him Virgil, because he thought it was an insult to give Dusty's real name to a black man. And remember, the period when Kama stole it, Ted DiBiase and the Corporation were part of it. King Kong Bundy had helped to steal it for DiBiase, and it was after Taker beat him at Mania 11 that Kama then stole it. |

Virgil's entire career was a rib.
Calling him Virgil in WWF was a rib on Dusty Rhodes.
Calling him Vincent in WCW was a rib on Vince McMahon.
