I miss the 70’s.. People had a sense of humor.. Even David Letterman! By today’s standards his appearances on Johnny Carson’s Tonight show had some of the most non-PC stand-up routines ever. I was SHOCKED! LOL!

Just one more bit about the MSC yearbook (from the first link):
He eventually settled in Miles City where he owned a title and abstract company, then a television station that served the smallest market in the United States and was featured across the world for its colorful approach to news.

At the same time, Rivenes continued his lighthearted antics, enlivening the community by promoting rock skipping as an Olympic event, for example. When Ted Schwinden ran as a Democratic candidate for governor, he dropped by Rivenes’ TV station. The phone happened to ring while Rivenes was announcing the news, so he asked Schwinden to take over the broadcast. One of the items Schwinden read talked about an upcoming Republican rally and said, “Let’s have a big turnout and beat those damn Democrats.”

Our kind of guy!

This is why Republicans should stay away from this hot potato and let Democrats stew in their own hypocritical juices. They are desperate to switch the narrative to attack Republicans.

Looks like Warren should have a lot of her campaign people apologizing over the course of at least 6 years, apologizing...

Gotta take this Republican out so the state senate will revert to ‘rat control and they can take over the governor’s office when the other three Democrat bigwigs quit......

All yearbooks have staffs, editors and faculty advisors. It shouldn’t be too hard to find out who they were

this is a deeper story that goes beyond blackface. After this story first broke, some attendees have come forward and said there were things on their own pages that they didn’t submit, in spite of an editor saying the photos all came in sealed envelopes (which was a sidestep of course). There are three blackface photos in the yearbook first reported. Then we go back to previous yearbooks - I think they said back to 1963?

So yes, we do need to know who was sabatouging these guys’ pages. Be it blackface or anything else on pages the graduates wouldn’t see for at least 6 months and might never have seen, but that were ticking timebombs for their careers.

Does he actually say he was not the editor, or just that this ancient history has been dredged up to distract from Democrat woes?

Yep. Is Neil Diamond being slammed for wearing blackface in “The Jazz Singer”?

Blackface cosmetic used in a theatrical staging presentations goes back hundreds of years very probably used in staging Greek and Roman as well as Shakespeare’s plays.. More often than not it was used because the story line called for a a black person who was not available to perform in whatever it called for.

While the technique has been often used in satire. Political objectors to the characterization portayed instead of labeling it as a abuse, are now condeming the means used (blackface) and are calling any use of blackface as racist instead of targeting the story line and the source Demonstrating just how far we are allowing the revisionists pervert and poison a means of communication to promote their guilt agenda.
