G. Felix Allen, Jr.: Turtles. Only Niggers Eat 'Em


The NYT reports that:

Christopher Taylor, an anthropology professor at Alabama University in Birmingham, Ala., said that in the early 1980’s he heard Mr. Allen use an inflammatory epithet for African Americans. Mr. Taylor, who is white and was then a graduate student at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, said the term came up in a conversation about the turtles in a pond near Mr. Allen’s property. According to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Allen said that “around here” only the African Americans — whom he referred to by the epithet — “eat ‘em.”

G. Felix Allen, Jr. At least when Republicans vote for him, there's no way to pretend that they aren't racists.
