5. I am catching it on the repeat I guess

I missed it the first time around.

[Gabi Hayes]

9. yep....I'm taping. the exchange just finished. Gillespie looked like a

complete FOOL

tweety used...gasp....logic on him:

how can ANYBODY buy the idea that a made up word just HAPPENED to mean "Nword" in another language, and he just HAPPENED to use it on the ONLY darkskinned person at this get together

pretty HI lare E ous

2. wow... 3,620,000 google hits for Macaca

hmmmm.. just made it up???

[dipsydoodle]

14. The reason there are so many hits

is constant discussion of this type. You'll find that all those hits are recent. You've all fallen into the trap of putting a word which isn't even in the Complete Oxford Dictionary into you own language as a now common word.

Effectively , despite the fact you all mean well , you've shot yourselves in the foot by creating what is likely to now become a more common slur.

3. Do politicians make up words?

well, aside from bush.

4. Macaca is Portuguese for female monkey

If you don't believe me, go to the google translation page, select "Portuguese to English" and type "macaca" in the text field.

6. I know what it means

I have a biology degree and when I heard that I remember saying to a coworker I really hope that the guy he said that to is Black because it will destroy his campaign.

[Gabi Hayes]

11. it has other meanings, aside from the machine translation

that's what this whole macaca is about

7. And I am the Pope

first female Pope ever...appointed by JC himself.


Look over there! A pack of flying pigs!

:sarcasm:

[NewJeffCT]

15. damn, and here I thought I was the Pope

an atheist Pope.

[pooja]

8. and I was born yesterday

12. Happy birthday. n/t

10. Nope, he demonstrated his penchant for racism that day

as disgustingly strong as it was when he shoved that severed Doe's head into the mail box of a Man of Color back in the 70s.

To The Good ole' Racist Boys Macacca = The N word = Non-whites. :(

[EST]

13. And for some of us on the shady side of fifty,

the entire discussion brings up black and white newspaper pictures of bodies, wearing hand-me-down coats and hanging at the ends of long ropes, burning crosses, white robed figures that one dare not catch the eye of, lest they prepare some special treatment for that unfortunate me or decide that an observing pair of eyes might spell trouble later and thus must be shut off.

Such a shabby caricature of a human being brings a shockingly instant replay of the automatic arrogant assumption of superiority emanating from that fat, flatulent farcical asshole. Memories die hard.

16. Macaca is used in northern Africa

as a slur against dark-skinned people. Allen's mother, born and raised in Tunisia, is undoubtedly the source from whom Allen heard it. For him to say that he just made it up is not credible. He probably would have liked to use the "N" word but knew he could not get away with it these days as he used to in his college days. The more voters learn about Allen the better his opponent Webb looks.
