a writer named William Meginley of Lindenhurst, NY, who posts and writes under the name
"Billy Guns" used the term "porch monkey" to demean an African-American person.
As an African-American, I find the term very offensive. I believe that MD should not employ writers who use words like this. Many of their bodybuilders featured are black, and many of their readers are black (myself included!)
To Steve Blechman and others at MD, I implore you to condemn this behavior by one of your writers. It's an embarassment to a magazine as great as yours, when your writers help to perpetuate these racist, hate-filled statements on the forums. Thank you.
