[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does he get a free pass, is it cause he did this last year[/quote]

Because the incidents in question occurred in the 1980's.  Gov. Northam and I are the same age.  Society changes.  If he could pull off the moonwalk, it was perfectly reasonable to dress as Michael Jackson -- not sure about the skin tone thing.

If people had recording of me from my college days, I am certain I did things that I would not approve of, such as homophobic slurs (it was a different time; people adapt).

I am a little older than Northam.  I agree if he could legitimately moonwalk then it was ok to dress as Michael Jackson.  He probably should not have used black face, by today's standards, but back then I don't think it was viewed as the horrible racist crime it is now.  In fact, I think if a moonwalking Michael Jackson impersonator in blackface had appeared almost anywhere most people would have been impressed and would have assumed he was a big fan of MJ, not racist.

Just my opinion.[/quote]
