Senator George Allen Does Racist Standup

by Alex on September 27th, 2006

Last month at a campaign rally, Senator George Allen (R) Virginia gave everyone a good laugh with his racist standup routine. He called an aide to his opponent Macaca (slang for a macaque monkey) and welcomed him to the country. That aid was in fact an American citizen who was born here but happened to be of Indian decent. Allen has subsequently apologized and done photo ops with every minority imaginable. If you are a minority in Virgina watch out because George Allen wants a picture with you! Anyways, in case you haven’t seen it, here is Allen’s little standup fiasco.

    Bieng first to comment does that make me eligible to be dragged by a pick em up truck or hung from a tree? Well folks i am a canuck! and a Metis Canuck at that, to you Metis is a person of mixed blood. Relax Canada has more than it’s share of subtle racist attitude and yes! we have our share of guys running around with the confederate flag attached to their trucks.

    I may not be black but i guess that brown is close enough! Obama? now tell me why would the states of kentucky and west Virgina….notice the lower case…………..when they are countries in the US of A? You can bet that Clinton will sweep both states even Obama is wise enough to realize that racism is is forever locked into if you are brown you can hang around, hopefully not from a tree and if you are black you get right back!
    So much for the US of A…………..as i am concerned would rather freeze in Canada’s northern climes rather than visit either state

    Hey yves, thanks for the comment!

    I just wrote a post spotlighting West Virginia and their racist democratic senator Robert Byrd http://www.sirened.com/spotlight-on-west-virginia-and-racist-senator-robert-byrdyee-haw

    This man is 91 YEARS old and has been a senator in WV since 1959, he’s 3rd in line for the presidency because he is president pro tempore and he’s a former KKK member.

    Yes, congrats to Hillary on what will be a LANDSLIDE win in WV.
