Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey apologized on Thursday for her role in a racially insensitive skit involving blackface that her sorority put on when she was a student at Auburn University in the 1960s.
Ivey said in a statement on Thursday that while she has no recollection of the skit, or of wearing blackface, she has “genuine remorse” over her participation.
Though her fiance at the time, Ben LaRavia, "is the one on tape remembering the skit – and I still don’t recall ever dressing up in overalls or in blackface – I will not deny what is obvious,” Ivey said. “As such, I fully acknowledge – with genuine remorse – my participation in a skit like that back when I was a senior in college.”

"We were acting out this skit called 'Cigar Butts,'" LaRavia said in the interview, which the governor's office released. "I could not go into a lengthy explanation, but to say the least, I think this skit, it did not require a lot of talent, as far as verbal talent. But it did require a lot of physical acting, such as crawling on the floor looking for cigar butts and things like this."

“No prob!”, says the Coonman.
I remember dressing up like a Mexican with a poncho, sombrero and fake mustache for Halloween when I was 9.
I guess I’m in the racist club too.
Jesus Christ, you better pray there are no pictures or your run for city council is TOAST!
I must confess that I also am a white supremacist.
In the 1980s, I and two others were in a Halloween costume talent contest. We performed as Diana Ross and the Supremes, with a full song and dance routine, wearing floor length ball gowns, long white gloves and jewelry. Yes, and “black face” on our faces and arms to darken our skins (as I remember, Diana Ross and the Supremes were black).
And what’s worse, only one of us was a woman (performing as Diana Ross). The other two of us backup singers/dancers in ball gowns were men.
So not only were we racist, we were obviously homophobic and making fun of trans-people.
Oh yeah, we won the contest.
Isn’t that punishable by beheading?
Is he still popular??
Until I read this, I was wondering, R or D? But since she refuses to deny the obvious, it follows that she couldn't be a D, which was confirmed in the article.
Maybe, but She has no spine. This Pollitically “Correct” Crap is Killing AMERICA AND IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!!
Baby boomers, or at least a large enough percentage started this and it’s been downhill since then and it’s KILLING AMERICA !!!
Our Parents as The Greatest Generation didn’t do this and They should have smacked the brains right out of Our heads when some of Us were growing up and started to WHIMP OUT !!!
The reason the “War on terrorscum” is still going on is Our Military has one hand tied behind their back and STUPID ROE’s. This War should be Run like WWII and it would be over so The Military can come Home to be with Their Families.
As well as this one. 
Going Blackface: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
If it weren’t for Double Standards - liberals would have no standards at all.
There was a picture.
Last I remember it was in one of my dear, departed Mother’s photo albums.
Who knows who has it now.
Want to bet they try to force her to quit? Unlike Ralph Northam, his black face was ok, but since she is not a Lib, well she’s got to go......
She should apologize for gas taxing the good black citizens of AL. I don’t think they give a flip about her sorority antics.
