McCullough's Macaca Moment

by: Juan Melli

Thu Jul 12, 2007 at 02:46:38 PM EDT



During an interview last week with PoliticsNJ, State Senator Sonny McCullough shared a joke about "a Chinese couple and an African American baby". The joke wasn't published, and Democrats calling for an apology would not repeat it, but a quick google search turned up this:
Did you hear about the Chinese couple that had a black baby? They named him "Sum Ting Wong"
Is this the joke Senator McCullough told? It's bad enough that it's horribly racist. But to think that it would be appropriate to share something like that with a reporter? Not even Senator Allen was that stupid.

What was he thinking? (0.00 / 0)
Would McCullough really be dense enough to tell a racially-charged joke to a reporter from a major political website? Either way, this is a rather damaging moment for the McCullough campaign -- not that I'm complaining.

Racist humor (0.00 / 0)
I have played comedy clubs for 20 years. I have heard every possible racist, homophobic, anti-semetic, agist, anti-feminist, and any other politically incorrect joke you can think of in just about every comedy club in New Jersey. That joke is racialli insensitive, and the Senator [if he did tell such a joke] needs to issue an apology. Anyone have it on video?

The joke (0.00 / 0)
He definitely told a racist joke. Max Pizarro asserted as much in his column.
