[FONT=&quot]He acknowledged that the photo was "disgusting," "racist," and 'offensive." But he claimed that when he was shown the yearbook Friday, he was seeing it for the first time. "I was unaware of what was on my page," he said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"I am not and will not excuse the content of the photo," Northam told reporters Saturday. He claimed that when he was shown the yearbook Friday, he was seeing it "for the first time." He told reporters that he was not involved in the preparation of the yearbook, nor did he buy one.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He acknowledged that it may be difficult for people to believe this. Northam added that he had spoken to a former classmate who said that several photos in that specific yearbook were placed on the wrong pages. He said that he submitted the other three photos on the page, but not the one that featured blackface and KKK costumes.[/FONT]

For me it's nothing more than a high school yearbook picture, maybe an attempt to be funny, maybe in bad taste, kids do stupid things sometimes. I know I did.

We live in an age where people are just trying to destroy other people far too often, especially with old or outdated or undocumented stuff. I blame it on our sensationalizing media and always lying career politicians, they have set the bar very low.

I haven't followed this story at all, maybe he did something recently to deserve this outcry, maybe not, IDK. If he's one of those manipulative lying hypocrites (and there are a ton of them), then fuck him, he deserves it all.

probably need to get Robert Mueller involved so he can steer the final verdict in whatever direction he prefers. then we can petition our representatives to add a constitutional amendment so we can all agree on which costumes, worn as a child or young adult, deem you unfit for future public office. perhaps my fellow social justice warrior rx'ers can help with the list?

blackface with klansman

cowboys and indians

any depiction of rural central/south american with big moustache, poncho, and sombrero

bullfighter or game hunter

inuit / eskimo

brownshirt, SS, or activist (unless wearing an Antifa logo)

belly dancer, geisha, witch, V for Vendetta mask

coal miner or nuclear scientist

viking, pirate, genghis khan, alexander the great

fred mercury, boy george, elton john (unless you are openly gay)

Kramer, Mel Gibson, or all other anti-Semites (except non-caucasian freshman congresswomen and Louis Farrakhan)

white leaders deemed war mongerer or slave owner incl Caeser, both George Bush's, Dick Cheney, Adolph, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, any Confederate States leader, and Churchill (Ceausescu, Stalin, and Lenin are fine)

certain inanimate objects (twin towers, border wall, mcdonalds lunch)

abortion doctor or child aborted in 3rd trimester (no, wait! this one is absolutely fine)

RT, I'm very disappointed in you, how can you possibly overlook WEARING A MAGA HAT?

C'mon man

If the rams win today, i’m Sure that someone out there is going to dig up some stupid tweet from Jared Goff of something he said when he was 15 years old.

Sad

Mobdeeper7239 · Feb 3, 2019

Of course it was him. There’s a new politician every week who does this lol. Clearly depends on what type of sense it is used in. Antoine Griezmann did it and barely got heat for it...because he is an athlete...a fan of the nba...and dressed up like an nba player with a black face. That’s way more innocent compared to a politician, former doctor, dressing up with black face for no good reason but to stand next to a person dressed up as a KKK member. If y’all dont find something wrong with that, something is wrong with y’all. Some Racist Denison Sam shit.

Drake did it and got eaten alive for it. And he’s black. Its just ignorance or racism and being clueless.

Bruins4Life · Feb 3, 2019

Drake is half white btw.

Don't forget successful businessmen like Donald Trump and Howard Shultz.

But if you're a junkie on the streets of San Fran, or a trans gender with pocketbook, tutu, and blond wig, or thug like Michael Brown, don't you dare say anything negative. And don't be looking like them at any parties either.

Baby killer OK. Squirrel killer to jail. Do not pass go.

clowncar · Feb 3, 2019

Promote the mass murder of babies one day, and get no heat at all.
A few days later: a picture of him dressed up in a costume a quarter century ago in black face or hood emerges and he has to resign.

'Merica 2019 ladies and gentlemen.

agree, it ain't cool but how come it never goes the other way? Ice Cube, as one example, is celebrated....ever heard his lyrics? Things such as killing a chief of police and now we have a Kentucky Fried CRACKER? ESPN has no problem parading this guy around. So yes I am against white people being racist, but I am also agaisnt black people being racist which is MORE of an issue in this country.

I hear you but I don’t know of any black politicians who have dressed up making fun of white people. Do black people do it? Of course. But are they in positions of power? Not many. Way more white people in critical positions who are racist as fuck.

Ice cube is as fake as they come but not saying he doesn’t know what he is talking abou. Police are also in position of power and it’s not even that they are all racist. They just don’t know why the fuck they are even wearing that badge in the first place. They are public servants. They are meant to serve the public. They don’t even know that. They think they can do whatever they want. That’s why there is a disconnect. Because they have the same laws to abide by as I do...but they feel they are special and they have a blue wall of silence where they just back eachother up no matter what. Biggest gang in the country. Most of them do not even know the fucking law and do not care to. How can you serve the public correctly without knowing the laws

first of all, despite what is shoved down your throat, you know the US black population is somewhere between 12-13% so by definition I would think you would have alot less "black racism". Do they dress up in White face? I do not know of any politicians but one example is WHITE CHICKS movie. Why is that ok? (for the record I do not care, I think we are all too sensitive, but hate that it goes 1 way only)

I also hate what you did with the Police. Most cops I know are douche bags, but not all.....remember Kap had the pig socks? that was wrong because he was saying all cops are bad, even though he was fighting the narrative that all blacks are bad.

halekulani · Feb 3, 2019

i think it's unfair to assume one's character based on something like 20+ years ago
people change
how could you punish someone for a costume based on some weird lack of foresight that the future would be so intolerant and sensitive to such issues to begin with

The Greatest One · Feb 3, 2019

How was that even racist?

didnt he just dress up as a homeboy?

when a black drug dealer wears a suit. That should be racist then since he is trying to pass himself off as a white business man.

same line of thinking

Avocado33 · Feb 3, 2019

It might've worked if he didn't admit to it the day before he denied it

Nope. The rule is if he is deemed successful, if half white. He is considered black. I.E. Obama, Mahomes, Russel Wilson
