Booker T Says Race Was Not an Obstacle For Him

[LG]

Booker T spoke with Vaughn Johnson of Philly.com about his rough childhood and overcoming adversity to transcend racial lines and become one of the all time greats in the business.

"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," Booker said. "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."

Of course it wasn't an obstacle,it was an advantage for him. When wcw was being sued for racism, they put the belt on him. He was never above average at anything and never deserved a single world title. He is one of the guys that killed wcw.
