Apparently, the only person in VA higher government who didn’t wear blackface in the 80s was the black lieutenant governor. But he’s dealing with !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of sexual assault back in 2004.

When people feel entitled they do things without really understanding what they do. Here in Mexico the famous band Molotov (which was lead by private school bros basically) was sued in the late 90s for this song .
It literally says “Kill the faggot” in one part. and like...
Maybe they don’t get it, but in Mexico even today the LGBT community suffers from hate crimes including murder.
So two decades later they tried to change the meaning but still.
people can be horrible.
I do question what Northam is supposed to do now. People change, and they (normally) regret things they say or do. I’m not the judge of what should happen to him... Should society pardon him? I think that what he did is unacceptable.

Can we just fire the entirety of VA’s state government?
( I know it doesn’t work like that. )
I volunteer to be the new governor! I’m not horrifyingly racist and keep my hands to myself.

The only person who can fix Richmond now is General Grant.

As someone who lives in VA I fully support this idea, and would gladly vote in your favor.
... as long as you promise to ease up on VA’s draconian driving laws and enforcement.

I guesse d before reading that Herring went to UVA. I spent two years at that school and I’ve never seen such insular affluenza just feeding off of itself. I hated the place - because I didn’t fit in. I’m much younger than he is but it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re still finding frat party evidence of blackface there from politicians 30 years from now.

I grew up in VA in the 80s (graduated from JMU in 89). None of this surprises me at all.

Breaking news! Virginia is full of racists and Nazis.
In other breaking news, water discovered to be wet, fire is hot, and North Kore a did not land on the sun.

In my area i t varies wildly. Last week it was in the 20s, this week it’s in the 70s. Generally though, it usually stays just above freezing throughout the majority of the winter. The summers on the other hand...

This whole thing really seems like a LOT of people are just now discovering that Virginia’s government regularly and openly talked shit and tried to start shit over a black man being president.
And guess what state many federal government agencies are actually in and drawing employees from? Ding.

You should always put it in the perspective of its time. Was it utterly unacceptable then and there?
Yes?: unacceptable now
No?: Does he genuinely regret it (for non-opportunistic
reasons) in hindsight
? I mean, people can change and can learn and grow and you should not hold everything against them after 3 decades.
This is just in general, I don’t really care about this politician. I however don’t like holding every little thing against people, especially if it happened multiple decades ago. No one is entirely clean. There obviously are limits to what one can and should forgive though.
