Do you think Northam should resign for the good of the party and because it's the right thing to do?

26. I'd like to hear a bit more detail about what was going on at the time

1) Did he CHOOSE this to be in the yearbook?
2) Does he have some semblance of a reasonable excuse such as 'my GF and I were invited to a costume party earlier in the day, and being poor graduate students, had to just look around for what we had available that was free. We had shoe polish and sheets, and thought it would be funny to go as Black Person and KKK member as a couple. Obviously this was a terrible idea, etc, etc.

And then I'd also like to hear what his record has been like on Black issues.

1984 Virginia is WORLDS AWAY from 2019.

I remember Gene Wilder in blackface in a major movie called Silver Streak not THAT long before 1984. Does everyone look back and think Wilder was racist? People simply didn't have the same sensibility about blackface in 1984. It wasn't 'automatically racist' like it is now. I'm not saying that Blacks may not have been offended by it for the last 100 years ... for all I know they were ... but 'everyone didn't know that' ... at the time.

Also ... did Roy Moore ... bow out?

Did Gym Jeffries or whatever his name is ... bow out?

Those were CRIMES, and Republicans circled the wagons and didn't crucify their own.

The sting of Franken bowing out so easily on such flimsy shit still stings for me.

If there's more proof he's racist, then YES, he needs to step down. I'm not making that call ... OVER THIS.

In fact, as it stands at this moment, I'm still at hell no. Go ahead and say I don't 'support AA' or whatever. If this made fun of asians, or gays, or women, or whatever, it would be the same answer from me. It was 1984 in Virginia. 25 years old. He's now 60. Been in politics a WHILE. What's his record?
