BREAKING: VA Governor Ralph Northam Admits He Was in Racist Yearbook Photo, Apologizes

He made a HORRIBLE case. I didn't look at the photo before I said it was me and apologized? But after I looked at it hard and you can't really tell if it's me I will declare it is not me? Yea that very same year I out on a black face? My nickname was "coonman'?

As I said even CNN and MSNBC panels are calling for him to go that his press conferenced raised even more questions.

 

Trump should speak out on this; but he should shock the Left by saying, "This nasty practice of digging deep into the far past, which operated under different standards, to tar and feather someone today by today's standards has got to end. Just imagine if the leftist loyal Mainstream Media had ever dared to do a really deep background check on their Political Messiah, Barack Obama. He would never have been able to become president."

 

I think his explanation was about the only one I could buy. I ignore the first apology as it was a snap thing to satisfy the news sharks.. Today, was detailed and thoughtful...

I don't think anybody would have run for office 2X in the 2010's knowing a picture like this existed and was associated with him.

I'd love to know how my reversal (yes, people are allowed to reverse course) "helps you", but you don't have to respond to that if you don't want to.

 

Remember that movie, Soul Man? That was an interesting movie. It came out in 1986.

The blackface was so controversial at the time, it only made $27 million at the box office.

Great movie, though, even with its rampant racism.

 

Why should Coonman who dressed with a black face who apologized for the picture remain in office? Why is the NAACP and the Virginia state Democrat Party calling for him to go?

 

Answer your own questions.

Why are you asking me?

Ask Alexa.

 

My theory is that the Democrats are like a chick. If you say, "baby it wasn't me" enough times, even if caught read handed, you can wear them down and get away with it.

Hahaha! This is great!

Northram had decided he wants to stay and possibly run for re-election, and by god I think he can do it!

You guys will buy anything! I love it!

 

Tom Perez Chairman of the DNC says he has to go

Because you posed the question why Coonman should he resign. I responded to yours so respond to mine. The Chairman of the DNC just issued a statement that he should resign.

He seems to have had a pattern of black face then.

 

I’ve never really bought into the notion that blackface immediately equals racism in all contexts.

I’m open to explanations, though.

 

It's probably the best excuse he could come up with, but it's right up there with Lindsay Lohan's claim that the cocaine in her pants wasn't hers, and that wasn't very believable either. I mean - if I had a personalized yearbook page and someone placed two people in it who I didn't know doing something I didn't approve of - and I dunno if other schools did this but if you wanted special services like that in my HS yearbook, you paid for it - I'd probably STILL be a bit pissed about it and remember the details.

 

Listen to you

The lib admits he did it but you want tomlook the other way

On thd othdr hand I bet you were not as forgiving of roy moore who denied the lies told about him

 

In terms the Dems chances in 2020, it seems like it would be impossible for him to stay in office.

He would present too much easy low hanging fruit for the RW BS Troll Squad (to spread thick among the RW BS Trash Blogs).

Also, the fact he is being replaced by an African-American is a Win/Win

 

Just mentioning it is enough to ruin a celebrity or public figures career. Ask Megan Kelley.
She asked the same question about black face on a TV talk show while working for NBC.
It was enough to torpedo her. Of course she is a Republican and they hated her there.

 

Lose your stranglehold on the black vote and we win again

What he's doing is exposing the racism on the Democrat side. Your second in command is good buddies with one of the biggest anti white anti Jewish leaders in this country, even advocated for a black separatist state and you elected two Muslim anti-semites with zero outcry from your party.

So please, let this guy stick around. He only helps us. Sing it with me!

 

Too many people too sensitive about race. It’s always something—religion, sex, race, whatever—that too many people are just too sensitive about.

I had felt sorry for my child, until I recently observed how readily kids adapt to the new norms. A sophisticated high school kid already can manipulate the standards in ways I’d never have imagined.

 

works like this, if someone accused the Gov of racism and then this yearbook showed up, I would lean to guilty - I have heard no claims of racism towards anyone about this Governor, have you?

same with Roy Moore and his yearbook, if he was accuse of it, then a yearbook confirmed it......

some on the right used the Joseph and Mary did it excuse to defend Roy Moore?

 

How do we know that it is him in the blackface or KKK outfit?

 

Isn't putting a racist photo in the yearbook an "action?"

 

How is it obvious?

 

look that way to me, did not look like a real kkk outfit - it's hard to tell what two young people are doing in the moment, the fact is, it was 35 years ago, if other stuff comes up that points to racism then it would change my views, just have not seen it yet - was he for or against the confederate statues in his state, that would be interesting to hear - if he fought to keep the confederate statues or flags up, I would say resign

 

Ann Coulter: : Looks like Ralph Northam's Virginia governorship is about to be aborted in its 55th week

 

looks like a job for the FBI
will you demand the FBI to investigate?

 

Why do Dems like wearing white hoods?

 

agree, nothing to investigate, but stupid of him to say as he had to give them these pictures.... Trump might get away with a lie like that with his base, but doubt he will

 

Amazing how America has prospered while subjugating our interests to those of other nations since WW 2. Do you actually have any clue?
