Would-Be Heinrich In Blackface With KKK Partner

[basquebromance]

in his bizarre denial, he calls to mind the most cartoonish national stereotypes of the South: Not only does Northam seem to want you to believe that Klan hoods and blackface were common and forgettable sights, but that white southerners were too dumb to know that invocations of racial violence could be anything but harmless fun. I don’t know whether Northam is lying about himself, but he’s not telling the truth about Virginia.

A Klan hood has always been a Klan hood: It’s meant to terrify and intimidate, to make legible the violence intended by the person wearing it. You’re supposed to remember a Klan hood. Northam, I would expect, remembers too.

I have a hard time punishing someone in their 50's for something they did in their 20's.

Democrats cant tolerate racism, the GOP welcomes it.

Are you insane? The democrat party thrives on racism as policy. They call it diversity.

We minorities know how racist the GOP is they ensembled all the racists they can get their hands on.

That you speak for all minorities makes my point about the democrats cornering the market on racism.

I'm not a Democrat...but for a GOP or conservative to deny they are racists is laughable to many as a minority.

Your not a democrat. You are a progressive socialist!

Same thing.

How long until Gov. Northam's defense morphs into, "Okay sure, that was me in the Klan hood, but at least it wasn't a MAGA hat."

Unfortunate comment from Northam: "What I really want to do is talk about the racism and the hatred and the bigotry that I have fought so long and hard for."

"Did you know: A member of the KKK once sat on the Supreme Court of the United States. His name was Hugo Black

He wasn’t a Republican. He was a radical Democrat appointed by "Progressive" hero, Franklin Delano Roosevelt

These are facts they do not teach in schools"

The VIOLENT LEFT at work again...tell me about tolerance!
