In reply to the discussion: I can't help but think the only reason there's any "controversy" about whether Northam should resign [View all]Empowerer
(3,900 posts)But here's the thing. There's ALWAYS an excuse when it comes to these things. And the excuses for this one are doozies:
A right wing source published the picture so we should ignore it
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?
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!
