Gov. Northam D-Va. in Blackface?
 

"RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) on Friday acknowledged appearing in a “clearly racist and offensive” photograph in his 1984 medical school yearbook that shows a man in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan robe.
“I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now,” he said. “This behavior is not in keeping with who I am today and the values I have fought for throughout my career in the military, in medicine, and in public service. But I want to be clear, I understand how this decision shakes Virginians’ faith in that commitment.”
Northam, 59, did not say if he was the man dressed in blackface or Klan robes. Calls for his resignation came from the NAACP, the Republican Governors’ Association, the state’s Republican party and some national Democrats - including presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Julian Castro." WaPo

Jesus, Northham. Just resign already, dumbass.

I've did some pretty stupid things over my lifetime.
Still do.
Thought of dressing up in ANYTHING approaching the costumes depicted never crossed my mind.
A part of me is saying, why with the allowances and overlooking and yes acceptance of others in more powerful positions, this one is to be expected to resign?
Then I remember what is right and what is wrong.
The act is just wrong, no excuse for it to happen ever.
The Governor needs to resign, step down.
Then do the rebuilding of his good name.

Conservatives' favorite way to shift the conversation away from their abiding support of racism/racists. You are probably unaware that the GOP candidate for Senate in the last election, Corey Stewart, is still to this day an outspoken, proud racist in the mold of your Trumpenfuhrer.

I love how our resident idiot goes quiet for months, during dozens of Repube scandals, and the shutdown of government by his dear leader, but suddenly pops out of his groundhog hole to post a diversion. Such an ass.

Busiest time of year at work. Been away for a while. But I see your vapid approach hasn't changed much. :rolleyes:

Actually, I was right on topic - Democrats who like KKK costumes. But speaking of deflection, there's no better tactician than you, and here you are right on schedule changing the topic to Trump. You've not lost your predictable style either. :rolleyes:

You're too much of a cultist to realize that you and your fellow MAGAMorons have no moral standing to criticize anyone for racism, misogyny, greed, corruption, dishonesty, narcissism, juvenile behavior ...

As for Robert Byrd, the only thing that really distinguishes him from other well-known Dixiecrats (e.g., Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms) was that he didn't switch to the GOP when it embraced institutional racism. In other words, he reformed himself whereas the Dixiecrats who became Republicans didn't. In 2005 he said, "I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times ... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened."

And you are as clueless and disgustingly ignorant as ever. Look forward to lots of laughs at your stupidity. :p

Speaking of vapid… (rolls eyes)
