Wow. Any Democrats in Virginia not do blackface?

This is too fun. Because the Democrats always push the meme that the GOP is racist, it is fun to see Democrats hoisted on their own petard.

Sorry, but outrage can’t be retroactive. If it wasn’t a subject for outrage in 1980, it isn’t now, so STFU.

RICHMOND, Va. - (AP) — Another top Virginia Democrat has admitted to wearing blackface decades ago. Attorney General Mark Herring issued a statement Wednesday saying he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a black rapper during a party as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia.

(snip)

Many including Herring have urged Northam to resign after the discovery of a photo of someone in blackface on his 1984 medical school yearbook page. Fairfax, next in line to be governor, has been accused of sexual misconduct, which he denies.

I do not know a single person in my life that has ever thought of doing a “black face” costume. It is simply not anything anyone in my small town or church would have ever done.

Democrats are incredible racists and they smear Republicans with their actual issues through lies abetted by the MSM.

There was this one Republican that appeared in blackface, in public, all the time.

In 1980?!

Who are these tards - NOBODY in the 70’s was doing that crap, even at the Southern schools! Not that I knew of or heard about.

Did these guys live in a hole somewhere outside of South Succotash?!

A secret society of retro morons, all working in the government now. Guess that’s the only place they could get a job.

Third in line, after the racist, baby killer Gov, and the rape racist Lt. Gov.
Next in line to take over is the House Speaker.

I don’t care about this “blackface” BS. All I see is a bunch of hypersensitive, perpetually offended professional “victims” blathering about nothing of importance.

Meanwhile, a demonicRAT member of the VA legislature proposed a bill legalizing infanticide. The demonicRAT Governor of Virginia supported that bill.

Killing babies is a scandal, an outrage, and an abomination.

“Blackface” doesn’t mean a damn thing.

Continuation of a 400 year old tradition of Virginian Elites. When sons of plantation owners reached the age of 16, they got a horse, a man servant who took care of the horse and served as a valet, and a young female slave who was intended for sexual romps.

Virginian Democrats are quite the traditionalists.

None that I know of, but plenty of Japanese kabuki actors do.

Third in line - he must think someone has the goods on him. This means (IMO) that Gov. Gosnell will be keeping his job.

Wow!
