Racism is not only inappropriate...

in the public sector...  it is illegal.

Why would anyone defend Allen?

 

Evidence shows, nope, Allen is still a racist after all these years. 

You see, it’s not about the rule of law, it’s about ruling and lording over hapless minorities, like the latest Allen stink about undocumented workers; and then using race as a wedge issue and letting party “insiders” know your sick little secret. 

Yes, next time someone raises the issue of Mexican protestors waiving the Mexican flag, just ask them why our Virginia senator thinks it’s a swell idea to showcase the Confederate flag on the mantle of his house.

A hurtful symbol of Dixie, lynchings, black subjugation and the painful past of the Old South. 
George Allen - Still a Racist After All ...


"Allen said he came to Virginia because he wanted to play football in a place where 'blacks knew their place,'" said Dr. Ken Shelton, a white radiologist in North Carolina who played tight end for the University of Virginia football team when Allen was quarterback. "He used the N-word on a regular basis back then."

A second white teammate, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he feared retribution from the Allen campaign, separately claimed that Allen used the word "nigger" to describe blacks. "It was so common with George when he was among his white friends. This is the terminology he used," the teammate said.

A third white teammate contacted separately, who also spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of being attacked by the Virginia senator, said he too remembers Allen using the word "nigger," though he said he could not recall a specific conversation in which Allen used the term. "My impression of him was that he was a racist," the third teammate said.

Nothing like a little racism to get his base pumped up.

"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."  Ayn Rand
