Virginia Governor says he is not racist. Wants time to confirm if that is true. Really.
Oh yeah! I forgot about Ted Dawson.
So only those who win are worthy of respect?
He taught Senator Harris the benefits of baathing in fade cream
It’s like when people are accused of sexual misconduct, if they say they don’t recall ever doing it I instantly assume “guilty”. What they are saying is that they want to deny it but aren’t sure evidence won’t come out proving they are lying so they give themselves an out. It means they either did it, or they did so much that they aren’t sure if this is one of the things they did. Either way, they lose me with that sort of non-denial.
Yes, losers are losers
“It’s seared, seared in his memory.”
Is it also seared in his memory the murdering a full term baby before and after delivery?? Probably not. Sick just plain EVIL AND SICK.

Auto-correct is my enema.
“It’s a woman. A full head shorter than black face, a belt around a smaller waist and female sloped shoulders.”
Then it can’t Michelle Obama.
Maybe I don’t understand Virginia, or maybe it was a small town? I don’t see how this gets in a yearbook in the 80’s. People knew then it would be controversial. I’m in a large city in Texas for perspective.
But I’m one of those naive white people who thought racism died decades ago, but is constantly reminded and shocked to see it’s still a thing. Sometimes all it takes is reading comments on here ha
Northam also refused to shake the hand of an African American candidate who was running against him for Lt. Gov. in 2013. To me, that is questionable.
Yes but I’m not clear if reporter actually used the nickname. His response was that you’d have to ask them why they called him that.
I wore black face in the Army and never killed babies!
Actually, many "minstrels" pre-movies did shows EMULATING black entertainment. They were shooting for authenticity, not insult. Al Jolson was the most prominent one and the last. They loved the "black" style and I think, didn't believe anyone would accept a white (Jew) dude singing those songs and styling them that special way. Jolson was no mere bigot.
I mean, really, Suzanne here was that same thinking: how does anyone know we're the Supremes as a bunch of white girls (poor quality, but she wanted to be real while her sister and others were against it)?

As for all the hype about this kind of thing:
Smile...
all the more reason to scream him out of office.
As if a Democrat, any Democrat, could tell the truth.
KKK, party of Democrats.
Then, and now.
Lenny, you are clearly a low-info homo.
You must read blogs and eat many weenies.
“...I was against what they tried to do to Kavanaugh and I’m against this.”
I leaned toward cutting him some slack until he repeatedly claimed “not to remember being in the photo”.
Unless he was drunk or smoked up, that’s a poor answer - especially when intervening years gave him opportunity to view the yearbook.
“I don’t remember” has become dims go to response in time of need.
