great thread on blackface entertainment:
I doubt it.
Saying "this whole thing is stupid" is about the whitest thing you could say about it.
It doesn't matter if the guy's NOT racist, which, btw, how are you so sure he isn't?
Close
by contrast, here's a bit on the next Governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax:
https://www.theroot.com/virginia-lt-...nfe-1831951932On Monday, Stonewall Jackson’s birthday, Fairfax knew that a random senator would likely try honor Jackson at the end of the session. So what did the Lt. Governor do? He brought two men, Dr. Warren Christian, the great great grandson of Stonewall Jackson, and the Reverend Robert W. Lee IV the great, great nephew of Robert E. Lee, to the Senate building. These two guests aren’t just related to the two confederate icons, they have argued for years that Virginia should stop honoring their ancestors.
“As a Robert Lee, I want to be a different footnote in history,” Lee said in an interview afterward with the Washington Post “And I want to stand with Justin Fairfax ... and say that honoring the racist white supremacist past that we hold with statues, with mentions ... on the floor of the commonwealth’s legislature is a no-go for me, and a no-go for so many people of goodwill in the South.”
It was quiet. It was simple, and guess what? The Republicans in the Virginia Senate blinked. No one said anything. No one attempted to honor Jackson on his birthday, no one attempted to besmirch the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with white supremacist Confederate nonsense. They knew there would be questions to ask and to pay if they honored Stonewall Jackson as a member of his own family was in the Senate chambers standing right next to Fairfax ready to decry the whole debacle. Justin Fairfax shut the whole thing down with two guests, a firm position, and using power to stop a vulgar re-telling of history.
Like this?
There were black people at his med school.
(not the poster)
it's probably inconceivable to Darrin that such behavior was and is hurtful to people, and is incompatible with public service in high office.
Who edited that yearbook?
"I just don't like leftist sjw crap."
of course not, you're racist Social Injustice Warrior
^^^Because you don't understand 21st century social mores, I'm obviously the re .
Makes sense you'd turn a blind eye now that you can no longer use the reaction to bash Dems as hypocrites.
If red team treated its elected/appointed officials the same, the carnage would be considerable.
It's funny that there's more outrage over offensive costumes, that were obviously a gag, than there is outrage over his comments on infanticide.
What's funny about it?
Not funny "ha ha" -- funny i.e. strange
If you're using infanticide as a term of moral suasion I get what you're saying; legally speaking it's inaccurate and it wasn't what Northam was talking about.
His resistance to resignation doesn't support your efforts to portray a double standard. Al Franken resisted at first too.
I expect he'll resign soon. Regardless, he's getting s acked by liberals everywhere. You thought he wouldn't. You've already lost.
it's even more far-fetched:
Amazing he thinks that excuse will get him off the hook. Who got paid to tell him to say that?
