George Allen uses the "n-word"

So, we've gone from an obscure racial epithet used in North Africa, to the bizarre, "I'm not Jewish, I eat pork on Saturdays," to.....

"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."

There's alot more in the article and two other teammates confirmed, but both requested anonymity because one "feared retribution from the Allen campaign," and the other "spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of being attacked by the Virginia senator."

What the hell is that? Is Virginia still a place where outing a closet racist costs money, friends, connections, etc? Is the racist machine still the man behind the curtain?
