Booker T diz que nunca foi vítima de racismo na sua carreira

O Philly.com entrevistou Booker T sobre o tema Black History Month. Booker disse que nunca foi vítima de racismo na sua carreira:...

“Throughout my whole time in wrestling on the road, going out and being around some of the whitest people in the world I’ve never had any problems with anybody. It was never black or white. Booker T was just a wrestler. I did that by design.”

“When people see me come out of that curtain, it’s never been a black guy. It’s just been Booker T and I’ve always tried to make it that way.”

On Sting coming to WWE: "Ya know I would hope so, I really think it's something he shoulda did some years ago, he had his reasons why he didn't, he's a religious man, I don't know if that's why he hasn't yet, he was a cornerstone of WCW. He deserves to be mentioned as such."

His upcoming book: "Well yeah, it's going to chronicle my time in WCW, to WWE, to the Hall of Fame, so many people wondered what was going through my mind at this time or that time.. Like when WWE showed up in Florida to take over WCW. What really happened years ago between Sid Viscious/Arn Anderson, what went wrong here or there. A lot of stuff like that people want to know more about."

His advice to CM Punk: "Well it's real simple, the advice I would give that person you were talking about, if we are talking about the "kid" who worked my PWA show years ago, and saw how good he was and how much potential not to mention the talent he already possessed years ago, ya know it reminds me of something my mother used to tell me when I was a boy, if your 99% about something you keep your mouth shut, if your 100% about something speak up 100% time! It's really hard to say when someone is speaking up 100% and their integrity is on the line, you deal with the consequences, if your only 99% you keep it shut."
