Macaca is the genus name for a monkey called the "macaque." Its also a deragotory slur that the french use against black people. So basically when a politician calls a person with dark skin a monkey its ok?

This George Allen is a sophisticated European genius! Why he uses racial slurs in foreign languages. Actually, the racial slur in French is "macaque" itself. So it must be that Allen was using a racial slur only he could understand -- and mangled it.

So which is it, racist idiot or cosmopolitan bigot?

Yes, it's okay. Because it's completely made up and nonsensical.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

You know, I'm flippin' sick of this story, but the racism charge against Allen is just sheer stupidity.

This man has been in politics for decades and knows he gets blasted by the liberal idiots for being a racist. But we're supposed to believe the dem-infested-head-up-the-butt-jack-$#!T-stoopid-explanation that he meant it as a racist slur????

Even if you believe he's a racist (and he's not), that's simply moronic.

umm no, it's more like politcal suicide (spoken as a true black person)
