Democrats in Blackface

[C-Mag]

The Virginia Governor is under fire for being in blackface in college.

He's in good company, Democrats have a long history of cultural appropriation through blackface.

The truth of Democrats overt, hidden and soft racism is leaking out, and the Democrats are struggling to hide it. Northam's case is not going to help. The Dems are backing him. Northam admitted to be in the pic, and then retracted. The Dems are still backing him. Not good, their lack of values is going to eventually bite them in the ass.

I say Northam is going to have to step down.

where exactly did you hear that the democrats were backing him?

Statements from the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, the Virginia House and Senate Democrats and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe -- who was governor when Northam was lieutenant governor -- ratcheted up the tension on Friday night. In the span of 30 minutes, the three groups and Northam's predecessor all announced -- after a series of conference calls and meetings with the governor -- that they believed the governor must step aside.

The pressure on Northam to step down continued into Saturday ahead of his expected news conference with the Democratic Party of Virginia calling for his immediate resignation.

In a joint statement on Saturday evening Senators Mark Warner, Tim Kaine and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) said, "We no longer believe he can effectively serve as Governor of Virginia and that he must resign."

Sunday morning, former Attorney General Eric Holder, a prospective Democratic contender in the 2020 presidential race, described Northam as a "good, very decent man" in a tweet. Holder went onto write that he "regretfully" concludes Northam "does not now have the ability to effectively govern and effectively stand for the issues - moral and political - that Virginia and the nation must confront."

Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton also urged Northam to resign, tweeting "This has gone on too long. There is nothing to debate. He must resign."

JUST IN: DNC Chair Tom Perez calls for Gov. Northam to resign: "Virginians and people across the country deserve better from their leaders, and it is clear that Ralph Northam has lost their trust and his ability to govern."

Here’s the (growing) list of prominent politicians, government officials and organizations calling on Northam to resign, both before and after his press conference.

Muh moral outrage

This is why no one should take normiecons seriously

I thought democrats were all about diversity, inclusion, and giving a platform to minority viewpoints.
Why they don't like this guy?

My Bad. I've been conditioned to Democrats always backing transgressions of their own. Backing support for racism. Maybe the needle is moving quicker than I thought.

Leave governor Coonman alone.

[C-Mag]

The real problem in Virginia is that the Lt Governor has a MeToo charge against him. And, ya know, we must believe all women...………… or so they told me with Justice Pabst.

If the Gov and Lt Gov go, who replaces them in Virginia ?

Democrats have room for Muslims who hate Jews (Rep. Ilhan Omar)
Democrats have room for folks who hate Muslims (Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub)
Democrats have plenty of room for people who hate the rich (AOC, 95% of the party)
Democrats have room for women who hate men (Sen. Mazie Hirono)
Democrats have room for anyone who hates white people (DNC Chair Thomas Perez)

. . . but they don't have any room for "Coonman" eh?

Mighty selective diversity they practice over there.

Loool. I'm surprised this guy was cool with this picture being taken and printed if he wanted to run for office. In a day and age when everyone's tweets are gone over with an electron microscope and anything even construed as racist is a career ender, this is a whole new level of hilarity. This is the guy who wants to murder newborns after they are born right?

This was like half a century ago.
