Bob Allen: The Scary Black Man Made Me Do It

When a high profile individual makes a fool of himself/herself in public they usually drop out of sight for awhile while they come up with a plausible excuse (alcohol, drugs, satan) and then re-emerge to float it about a bit.

State Rep. Bob Allen, (R-Merritt Island) offered an undercover officer (whoops!) 20 bucks, if he could perform oral sex on him. Only $20? Well, that was his second mistake.

The third mistake? The excuse. He starts by saying, “I certainly wasn’t there to have sex with anybody and certainly wasn’t there to exchange money for it.” Explaining both the $20 and the arrest for soliciting prostitution.

Then he makes it better by adding, “This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park…” Ah, the “big scary black man” defense. A classic! Allen claimed he was afraid that he “was about to be a statistic” — which he did become. But just a different category of statistic.

So it was black-man fear that drove him to peek over the top of the stall door in the bathroom, suggest that the large scary black man and he find a more private location and when the undercover cop asked if he wanted a [insert obvious] … Allen offered to, um, return the favor in advance, so to speak.

Allen, whose publicity shot shows him a good thirty pounds lighter, has been a longtime foe of gay and lesbian rights despite listing “water sports” as a hobby on his official page. Obviously he can’t be gay.

He’s just a regular guy who found himself surrounded by stocky black men and fearing he might become a victim of physical violence took the proactive step of offering the biggest guy in the bathroom oral sex… and offering to pay him for it.

Ya gotta believe that somewhere, Sylvester is smiling....
