To be honest though, that photo is so wrong it's actually funny.

It would have been a bit funnier if he got a black friend to pose next to him while he was in blackface, or in the robe, but still, people really shouldn't get all that bent out of shape over it.

On the third hand, it's kind of fun to see Democrats get bitten by their own rabid political correctness.

"Judge actions 40 years ago by the norms and values of 40 years ago" or "Judge actions 40 years ago by the norms and values of today and punish like a recent offence"

Kavanaugh... except there was only a alleged offense by one "witness" whose story was full of wholes and everybody she named being there - including her bestie - deny anything happened.

Also, calling yourself Coonman and being in a Yearbook picture of the Klan was not non-controversial in 1984, especially for a Medical Student.

was not non-controversial in 1984

I went to a pretty white bread suburban high school at the time with exactly 1 black classmate out of ~2000. Political Correctness was just starting to get a full head of steam, but "nigger jokes" were still a mainstay of those wishing to be edgy or shocking. By 25 or so, most of the same people had decided such jokes weren't cool after all and stopped using them. Now that they're in their 50s, it would be factually ridiculous, but perfectly reasonable by PC standards, to point to a 35yo picture of them doing racist shit in high school and declare them punishable as racists today on that basis alone.

Oh Democrats...

You can thank the left and Democrats for unleashing that. Kavanaugh wasn’t a one off incident.

I was talking about this with my wife the night after it came out and Northam did his apology. I was like: “He shouldn’t have apologized! He should have pulled a Bill Clinton and denied denied denied!”
The next morning he was denying it.
Bit too late there, buddy!
Now I’m wondering if the advice was obvious or my iPhone is hacked...

This guy was an adult Med Student when it happened, not in High School being an edgy humorist.

One thing I can say is that it's gonna be hella interesting when Millenials run in larger numbers. We're gonna see Snapchat, Instagram, etc. Galore.

I still betting Alexandria Occasional Cortex has some nudes out there.

And when she gets too far out of line, they will be "presented." I find it hard to believe that these Northam Yearbook pics were not set aside until needed, as Northam was Lt Gov for 4 years before becoming Governor, and the pics only show up now right after he spilled the beans on late term abortions.

Yeah. The Dems having to defend “up until birth abortions” is going to be crazy good ammo for 2020. Fly over Democrats won’t be able to stomach that type of shit.

I hope this racist democrat fuck doesn’t resign. He’s going to help hand Trump another 4 years.

Guaranteed. And she's dopey enough that there are going to be all kinds of fun pictures, nude and non-nude.

OccasionalCortex says

Mark Herring is damaged goods also? How come?

Well it depends on who you ask WaPo said he put brown shoe polish on his face. The rest of the Journalism world calls it black face.
He claims he went black face to a party because he wanted to dress like a Rapper. Yes we've got two Virginia Red Neck politicians that want us to believe they dressed like black folk in the 80's at frat parties because they were huge N(word) Music fans.(essentially what it was called in the South circa early 80's.)
Ya'll do remember Michal Jackson didn't even appear on MTV until the mid 80's. White Preppies were listening to New Wave and MTV POP music.

I don't know why Fairfax doesn't deny the MeToo charges, but own up to going White Face to a College party. The white folks seem to think that diversion will work for them.

OccasionalCortex says

I thought that was Northam who said that and was in the picture, not Mark Herring.

BOTH of them now - the current AND the next two in the line of succession have "Gender/Race" Issues. Gov. Northam in the Yearbooks, and now AG Herring, third in line, confessed he once tried to dress up as Kurtis Blow on Halloween. And of course Lt. Gov, #2 in line is facing sexual assault allegations.

By the way, any takers on nude or drunk party pics of AOC?

ORANGE MAN made them do it. Or something other why this should not be on CNN, WaPo, NYT etc 24/7.

Actually, if Northam, Fairfax, and Herring end up resigning, the next in line is VA Speaker of the House, a Republican. This makes a dilemma in that the Dems must keep one of these 3 fellows in place and overlook the blackface/sex assault.

I hope nobody resigns and we can beat the Dems over the head with their old racism card until DJT is sworn in for his second term!

Yes, but there is always the "Blasey Ford." Approach. Speaker Cox may find himself the victim of a Democrat Operative who can compose a groping incident from 36 years ago. I suspect Dems are out looking for such an operative now.

Wow. This is getting unreal. I mean I love seeing Democrats eating each other, but two black face cases now?!

I also noticed the absence of this websites most prominent lefties. Almost like they are ignoring this happening within their own party. Had this been a GOP governor, I’d be looking at 20 threads on the first page, or legendary 19 paragraph diatribes on why Trump created this (that may still happen, Democrats love projecting their racism and crimes onto others).

The Left only likes to furiously masturbate to racism perceived on the Right.
