Meanwhile Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-AL) still thinks lynching is a spectator sport.

I really wish he would come out and admit it was him and apologize. If he did, I wouldn't think it would be necessary for him to resign and I wish he would fight it, because I'm sick of seeing people punished for what they did decades earlier when society was way different. Obviously he is no longer a racist, I don't think he should have his actions from almost 40 years ago held against him now. But I do find his obvious lying about it now to be nauseating.

Not resigning because of these pics is a travesty...

The Virginia I used to love is becoming a travesty...

...is becoming a travesty?

Not credible. Not believable.

I heard it live and disagree. No one should have their life defined by their youth. He was open and believable.

24 and finishing Med school is not youth.

6 is youth.
12 is almost still youth unless you are an AA kid with a toy gun, in which case, you pose a danger to police and get shot to death.



Stop making excuses.

Why did he make this statement less than 24 hours ago?

"I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now"

That was his first statement. Did you see his second? (I'm waiting for the depend what the meaning of is is crowd to explain how he was "open and believable" in statement two.) He said he didn't take the photo.

You do realize this was his med school not high school yearbook and it was in the 80s not the 50s.

He just learned that blackface was wrong last year? This guy should not be governor of anything.

He was President of the VMI Honor Court.

"A cadet may not LIE, cheat or steal, not tolerate those who do"


That's good enough for me. I believe him. This whole thing is a poor orchestrated smear job (probably by the Koch bros.) against him to pressure him not to support women's healthcare.

Isn't it weird how NO other copies of this "yearbook" have turned up? This one seems to be the ONLY one out there.


That's your clue this is fake news

Wow. How stupid does he think we are?

He needs to resign. I can't believe him.

Not racism but patronizing. If the Dems didn’t pander to their African American constituents, they could win few races in blue states.

White supremacists aren’t infiltrating the Dens, unlike the GOP. Racism is Southern Pride. Southerners are largely racists independent of party.

The most racist people are from the northeast. I never was called the n word until I went to college in Boston and I am from Alabama. Law school in NYC was even worse.

Sorry but you're wrong. The most racist people in the country are in the Pacific Northwest - Seattle, Portland, etc.

Having also grown up in the south (SC and AL) I can tell you the south is way more at ease with black people than the northwest.

Yep. Try buying a house in Mercer Island

Try buying a house - or renting an apartment - in white nieghborhoods down south if you’re not white.

Try it in Bethesda.

I live in Bethesda and there are plenty of buying opportunities for everyone willing to pay the price for the propertty.

Yeah I don't see how anyone non white can be denied if they have cash. Any person no matter how racist loves money and won't care about the color.

Google redlining.

No thanks! Curious. When was the last time you have been to a Bethesda neighborhood? Come by and walk your dog. Leave your preconceived notions at home.

He apologized. It was some kind of mistake.

It's over.

I do.

Can we STFU about this now and let it go?

If this were true, an appropriate reaction would be total outrage - NOT taking responsibility for appearing in the photo.

So, this is what he is going with.....
Northam: That wasn't me, and I'd remember it because I dressed up in blackface a different time
