“You f’d up...You trusted us!”
Next time vote Republican!
My worry is that to try to “redeem” himself in the eyes of black people, Northam will do something ridiculous like try to remove the states of Lee and Jackson on Monument avenue.
Democrats have been betraying black voters since forever. I am surprised some black voters finally noticed.
This article is designed to placate the blacks in VA, in the hopes that blacks will forgive Northam and the status-quo will continue.
Gee the liberals herd black kids into dysfunctional, union controlled public schools, while their kids if they have any, attend good private schools. The liberals situate their abortion clinics mostly in black neighborhoods. Now unhappy with the carnage to date, they are pushing infanticide. Guess who’s babies are most likely to be killed? Perhaps blacks ought to consider returning to their political roots and reembrace the Republican Party.
Why do they keep voting for the party of the KKK?
Forgiveness has its price—in money as shown here.
So nothing has changed in the plantations of Virginia. The black faced/white baby killing, Virginia governor will learn black sensitivity by going back to somebody else’s Roots.
The Black Lt. Governor will be given the choice to resign or be impeached.

Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s aides want him to read his way out of trouble.
If you can believe it, the aides’ strategy for helping him survive his “blackface scandal” involves assigned reading, including Alex Haley’s book Roots and an essay written by the Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates, according to BuzzFeed News.
It’s the whitest solution to a blackface problem that only the whitest of whites could have devised.
Northam stands credibly accused of having once attended a party in the mid-1980s dressed either in blackface or Ku Klux Klan regalia, according to an old yearbook uncovered first by the right-wing news site Big League Politics.
At first the governor apologized for the yearbook photo. Then, he backtracked, after his apology failed to kill the controversy, by denying any involvement in the photo. Northam then held a press conference wherein he maintained he couldn’t possibly be the man in blackface because he “vividly” remembers looking different the one time he dressed in blackface to impersonate Michael Jackson for a dance competition.
So his defense for wearing blackface was that it was a different sort of blackface.
This all really happened, even the part where Northam nearly “moonwalked” for reporters.
Suffice it to say, the governor has had a rough go of it, looking like both a supremely incompetent fool and a baby boomer racist. He has refused his own party’s many calls for his resignation, and he has even floated the idea of becoming an independent just so he can stay in office. But if you thought this couldn’t get any more ridiculous, the governor’s staff is here to disabuse you of that notion. Via BuzzFeed News:
His office has begun to explore how it might recalibrate Northam’s legislative agenda to focus closely on race and equity … The move would mark a brazen attempt to hang onto his office by shifting the conversation away from Northam’s admission of having once worn blackface and his denials that he is featured in the racist yearbook photo, either as the person in blackface or the person in a Klan outfit. Northam’s policy team is looking at crafting a set of proposals based on the premise that the governor’s mistakes have rendered him keenly aware of inequity and the lack of justice faced by black Virginians 400 years after the first African people arrived in the Commonwealth, at Point Comfort, in 1619.
The centerpiece proposal is not complete in its scope or in terms of what it will seek to accomplish. But there are many possibilities being considered for a broad platform: increasing resources for affordable housing; setting new, more equitable standards in small business procurement; implementing programs that expand economic opportunity for entrepreneurs; pumping money into public services like education and transportation.
Then, comes the really embarrassing detail [emphasis added]: Northam doesn’t plan to hold any more press conferences any time soon. Advisers are in the midst of negotiations with major networks for a nationally televised interview they hope will humanize him. Additionally, his advisers have assigned the governor homework: He’s begun to read Alex Haley’s “Roots”, and “The Case for Reparations,” the seminal essay in The Atlantic by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
This is like something lifted directly from a “South Park” episode. Northam should just pay an indulgence to Jesse Jackson and get it over with already. This also seems like the lazy man’s way of familiarizing oneself with the black community. (“Isn’t there a book I can just read?”)
The amazing thing is: There’s no way that we’ve hit rock bottom with what’s happening now in Virginia. It surely will get worse or weirder from here.

I hate to tell you this sweetie but when it comes to Democrats showing disdain for black people, this is small potatoes.
We’ve warned you time and again about the dems, but nooooooo, you all knew better.
Welcome to reality.
They have a political horror movie on their hands and, as in the movies, the black guy is likely to get it first. Let that one sink in. The allegations against Fairfax are far worse, but Northam is a soulless goon who has no business in any kind of government work — except maybe gassing dogs down at the pound.
I suggest people stop their racist voting with their skin and start voting with their brain.

Should have escaped the plantation a long time ago.
Well, it’s not like his relatives of 2 centuries ago in the Democrat Party lynched any blacks. Oh, wait....never mind.
Betrayal ... it’s what Democrats do
What could go wrong ... a black faced Slow Joe Biden as Governor? I say leave him there as an example of Progressive progressiveness.
I don’t care if they feel betrayed. They absolutely deserve it.
Many of them will set in a church on Sundays but then go pull the lever for demos supporting abortions and so many other immoral causes. I hope they don’t lose their souls.
The Blacks’ devotion to Demonicrats is like battered wives who keep coming back to their abusive husbands.
Dang!
What'll it TAKE for these people to finally realize that THEY have been scammed all these years by...
