The left has caused so much horror around the world. US, germany, venezuela, NK, etc
I truly think the people posting here and Democrats in general are ignorant and deny the kkk has roots in the Democrat party, and Hated blacks, Catholics, and Republicans all the same.
Low information people with anger issue and willfully ignorant.

The Ku Klux Klan soon spread into nearly every southern state, launching a "reign of terror" against Republican leaders both black and white. Those assassinated during the campaign included Arkansas Congressman James M. Hinds, three members of the South Carolina legislature, and several men who had served in constitutional conventions."[3]
In 1867, at a meeting in Nashville, Tennessee an effort was made to create a hierarchical organization with local chapters reporting to county leaders, counties reporting to districts, districts reporting to states, and states reporting to a national headquarters. The proposals, in a document called the "Prescript," were written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general. The Prescript included inspirational language about the goals of the Klan along with a list of questions to be asked of applicants for membership, which confirmed the focus on resisting Reconstruction and the Republican Party.[4]

Sure. He was so privileged and wealthy that he went to a tiny, obscure medical school near his hometown that no one ever heard of prior to yesterday.
Because Harvard just wasn't exclusive enough for him.
People go to state schools for many reasons. If you really want to go there, that medical school had a low percent of black students in the 80's, so it is still a relic of privilege.
Yeah. They go to state schools precisely because they don't have privilege. That's why.
He went to this medical school because he couldn’t get in anywhere else
One of the pictures on the same page is Ralph in front of his early 80s Chevy Corvette convertible sports car. That's not a cheap car, so I don't think he grew up poor.
Corvettes are just white trash Ferraris. And the one he was seen with was already a decade old. It was worth maybe $1,500 in 1984

Let's assume he is being truthful when he says he never saw the picture in the yearbook before.
So, yesterday, when it was shown to him, his decision was to go out and apologize for a picture that HE says was him. If that had been me, or almost any other adult on earth not named Northam, the first reaction would be, "WTH! That is not me! I have never been dressed like that! Where the hell did this picture come from?"
Then, he would go to the press, say there is no way that is his picture and explain that he has asked for an investigation.
But, he didn't do that. He apologized for taking the picture and expressed his understanding at how hurt people are.
So, here we are. Whether today's press conference was an effort to cover his a$$ or the truth - he has screwed up royally.
I always learned - if you don't want someone to find about something you do, then don't do it. Whether he was in this picture or not is immaterial at this point. He has shown poor judgment in how he handled this whole scandal.
Had he said yesterday, that the picture could no way be him, I would be much more forgiving and I would believe him. Or, if he had admitted it was him, and sought forgiveness, I would be the first to offer it.
But, the changing stories is just too much for me at this point.
I don't really believe you. I think you would neither believe him nor forgive him whatever he said, yesterday or today.
I absolutely would believe him. I can see where somebody on the yearbook staff either swapped a photo accidentally OR thought it would be a practical joke to pull (not funny to most people). I can also believe that he may have never seen that page in the yearbook. College yearbooks are not like HS yearbooks. But, for him to offer an apology for a photo that he claims, today, could not possibly be him, leads most of us to believe that he is covering his butt, whether he is or not.
So “Coonman” had a “joke” played on him.
Coonman.

Don’t lie. Withholding life sustaining care to a non viable baby is not killing it after delivery. It’s going to die anyway.

Good lord he’s on TV still denying it. He should be stepping down...embarrassing.
Edit: he’s talking about other times he dressed in blackface. What is going on
Edit 2: Okay, so here’s his logic. He shouldn’t resign now because he definitely wasn’t in blackface in the picture, because he very distinctly remembers the other time he dressed in blackface. That’s a maniacal excuse.
Edit 3: Don’t worry guys, he reassured us that he spoke to and apologized to a friend of his who is a person of color.
