It's nice to see that the Northam's racism isn't really racist apologists are

getting act together and taking it on the road.

The defenses are flying fast and furious today:

Somebody else put that picture on his page

He didn't know about the picture until Friday

He thought it was a picture of him wearing blackface or a Klan robe but now knows it wasn't really him

What's a little blackface between friends?

He may be a racist but he's OUR racist, so we must stand with him

THEY have way more racists than we do and they get to keep them. Why can't we keep ours?

I know I never gave Ralph Northam 20 seconds of thought before Friday, but now that I know a little about him (even if the only thing I know is that he's a Democrat and he did some really racist things), he's my new hero and it's my sacred mission to protect him. And I hereby demand that ALL Democrats, especially the black ones, make it THEIR sacred mission to protect him too!


And that's just off the top of my head. There's a lot more where that came from.
