Ironically, Northam is credited with winning the Virginia governor's race using deceptive tactics, tarring his opponent,
Gillespie, as a "white nationalist." Northam made effective use of Pelosi's demonization tactic called the “wrap-up smear.”

CHECK OUT THE PELOSI VIDEO HERE
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nancy-pelosi-wrap-up-smear/

The video has Pelosi saying: “We (Democrats) call it the ‘wrap-up smear.’ You smear somebody, with falsehoods and all the rest,
and then you merchandise it to the media,” Pelosi blithely revealed at a press conference last year.

======================================

Northam also sent out a campaign mailer tying both President Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie to white nationalists, then on-the-prowl in Charlottesville, Va.

Later, a pro-Northam group ran an ad labeling Gillespie as a "genocidal white supremacist." Northam dutifully reported the ad as an "in-kind" donation to his campaign.

Not to be outdone, then-governor, Terry McAuliffe, accused Gillespie of having run the "most racist" campaign in Virginia history.

McAuliffe actually took Democrat slime politics to new depths of depravity; McAuliffe suggested Gillespie's campaign was more racist than the secessionist movement supporting slavery, the segregationists, and the opposition to interracial marriage.

That's how ridiculous it got.

=====================================

SOUND FAMILIAR This patented Democrat "wrap-up smear" was used against Justice Kavanaugh.

Hillary was very good at the "wrap-up smear"----she'd "leak" what she said was damaging info on Trump to the media. Then when the smear was published---she'd wave around the clipping, "proof-positive" that she was the superior candidate.

I loved this series of Tweets on the Northam press conference.

Now, on the subject of Greenfield's article, he's spot on. Obama used the Justice Department to prevent local school districts from disciplining black students, asserting that higher rates of disciplinary actions for blacks than whites was prima facie proof of discrimination. This was completely wrong, it was proof of nothing more than bad behavior by black students. There, I said it. And it's a result of the bad results in aggregate of too many single mom households. There, I said it again.

The fact of the matter is young males need a father in the house teaching proper behavior. When that doesn't happen, bad things result in aggregate. I don't care how many anecdotal stories of kids raised by single moms doing well you produce, the numbers in aggregate are what they are, and they show a large increase in all sorts of bad results from single parenting.

Back to this Obama policy on discipline, it hurt no one more than the black community itself. It helped screw up black schools and the education of those trying to educate themselves, and it helped reduce socialization of young black men who weren't being taught proper socialization at home.

Trump's Justice Department has jettisoned this evil policy, but much damage was done.

It's worth noting that this policy of not properly disciplining school kids had its origins in Broward County Florida. Read up on The Broward Promise, a failed policy of the Broward schools and the sheriff's office. It was a root cause of the Parkland shootings. A school with proper disciplinary actions on students would have had the shooter dealt with.

Larry Elder nails it, as usual.

I heard Thomas Sowell state (The Quest for Cosmic Justice) that a young black man in Chicago is more likely to die of a gunshot than was a US soldier in WWII.

The MSM & Democrats are the groups most demeaning toward black Americans. They continually put forward people like Maxine Waters, Whoopi, Jesse, various rappers, musicians and atheletes as spokesmen for the black community. Never a mention of Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Walter Williams, GW Carver, etc.

Ralph Northam's support for a law lifting many restrictions on late-term abortion.

Mr. Elder is not quite accurate here. The proposed Virginia statute would not have "lifted restrictions." It would have codified at the state level the current nationwide, judge-made, legal regime.

I’m glad none of them resigned. SHOULD help us in November. If it doesn’t, we may be in deep trouble. That would mean the country is going left faster then anticipated.

he [Herring] said, “the shame of that moment has haunted me for decades.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The only thing that has ‘haunted’ him for decades is the fear that someone would find that picture and make it public during an election campaign. Looks like he spent a lot of time being haunted for nothing because exposure of his blackface adventure has not resulted in much negativity for him, other than he had to apologize.

A 40 year old picture should not be held to the same insane standards as apply today.

Nearly 70 percent of black kids are born to unwed mothers.
Mostly thanks to the Great Society goverment War on Poverty society programs of LBJ.

Trayvon Martin was a victim of Broward County “discipline” NOT policies. Their policies got him killed.

Great point. If he’d have been in juvy prison where he belonged, he wouldn’t have gotten himself killed.

Public Education’s Dirty Secret doesn’t mention single moms explicitly, but certainly leaves no doubt that peer pressure against “acting white” is allowed to overwhelm any hope of actual education occurring in government schools with a critical mass of ghetto types in them.

In the 1970s “research” indicated that blacks did much better in schools with lots of white students. Well, yeah - one or a couple of blacks put in a serious academic environment did a lot better academically than they would have been expected to do in an all-black school. But that was used as a rationale for bussing white and black students all over the place to have a significant number of whites in black schools, and a significant number of blacks in suburban white schools.

The predictable result was no improvement in black education, degradation in white education - and serious hate and discontent all around. Preventing local school districts from disciplining black students the way they would whites simply maximizes that effect.

Hear, hear. And look at the price George Zimmerman paid for it - thanks to Trayvon's notional “father.” And the MSM.
