Yeah, Howard said "look at that monkey run" in reference to a black reciever, not understanding the negative connotations of the phrase. I was watching something about him and they asked his kids and grandkids what they thought about it. They said "he called us monkies all the time, so I don't understand what the fuss is about."

Ha, no. But I still stand by what I said. He has said in past interviews that he dind't mean it that way, and of course he'd say that, but I seriously don't think anyone in that sort of spotlight would be so careless to throw out a truly racially motivated epithet like that.Originally posted by: Phocas

Have you ever called anyone over 10 years old a monkey?
