Surely people at EVMS back then or since know all about Northam at the time, the social events, how such a photo came to be taken and placed on his personal page in the yearbook, etc.
One point I haven’t seen anywhere: EVMS is a very small school (around 150 students per MD year, and may well have been smaller in the early 1980s). [source: Wikipedia]
This means that many students in his MD year knew each other VERY well, it is not an institution of many thousands of people.
His classmates are evidently in hiding now, since no one wants to be associated with this, but there must be people out there (such as the other person in the photo and the person who took the photo) who know all about the details.
We need to keep the pressure on to get all the details out. Not because 35 yr old yearbook photos **should** normally be any part of national politics, but because we need to hold the Demoncraps to their own twisted standards (Alinsky style). Give them strong doses of their own medicines.
CYA time. Lol.
Liberals are shocked at their party’s racism. This is too funny for words.
Northam of course must resign in disgrace. And the school, since it published that racist photo must close it’s doors in disgrace as well.
Shockingly lame.
Surely the student body did such things as have costume parties? What’s wrong with that?
This is antithetical to our valoos.
Oh BS no it’s not - it’s in your yearbook which is probably still on your shelf!
Or have we forgotten that Whoopi Goldberg defended the use of black face back in the nineties?
I wonder what her stance is now?
Frankly - I’m against this kinda gotcha-ism and virtue signaling on all sides. But this is the leftists bed and I’ll force them to play by their rules.
I graduated from high school in eastern Virginia in 1984. Serious, old-school racism wasn’t unusual. My brother-in-law was in the KKK (but that was in South Carolina, and I didn’t know them then). Casual unconcern about whether something might, 35 years later) appear racist, even if one honestly wasn’t, was the norm.
Believe it or not, there was a time, not long ago, when everyone wasn’t hyper-sensitive about possibly being offensive, triggering, appropriating, yadda yadda.
Mr. Northam might be racist. He might honestly think people of different race from his own are categorically inferior, undeserving of equal rights, etc. But I doubt it. However, if you asked him why Virginia needs infanticide, he might bring up the “need” of poor, minority women to kill their children up to the moment of birth, just like every other pro-abortion advocate.
Racism?
I always find it deeply amusing to watch leftist weenies act like weenies. And remember, when the call goes out to confiscate our weapons, these prissy weenies will mushroom into 10-foot-tall Rambos.
Nothing to see here. Just doing his Michael Jackson impersonation.
And yet the “D” party never took their actual KKK unit leader and recruiting officer to task for it.
Now they’re outraged at this?
Liars...
Wonder why none of the crack investigative reporters in the MSM have yet to interview the Editor of the yearbook.
What was “shockingly abhorrent” was what this asshole said about live birth abortions. If I could wish him to the cornfield, I would, but much more for that than any old photo.
Good thing Kermit Gosnell never wore black face or the MSM would have crucified him.
Eastern Virginia Medical School denounces the photo that they published?
“the school shares “the outrage, alarm and sadness voiced by our alumni, the press and many on social media.””
How can they share the outrage when the school published the photo?
Latest tweets from EVMS are about how racism kills pregnant black women or black women postpartum. They’re studying this racism which makes black women more likely to die in or after birth.
But what about their other research? Are they using aborted babies in research? Are they wanting full term babies for their research? Isn’t EVMS responsible for the first test tube baby? (I haven’t checked. I have vague memory of such.)
