Managing a yearbook now? Not actually the politico in blackface this time.

Saw another politicians criticized because someone else was in blackface in the same yearbook as he was.

What happened when the "Choom Gang" days didn't matter?

None of these dems will resign voluntarily unless legally compelled to do so.

Well then I don't guess there's any reason for a Republican to resign until legally compelled to do so.

In 1968, the correct term for a Thai was “gook”, not “chink”. Stupid rednecks.

I once attended a Halloween costume party primarily attended by Disneyland parade employees. The most beautiful woman there came dressed as a southern belle. She was accompanied by a tiny women in black face — her “servant.”

By the end of the evening I discovered the southern belle was actually a man in drag, and the black woman was his white girlfriend.

From 1968?

This has gone way past ridiculous.

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.

Now they'll say that it's a bipartisan scandal, and so the Democrats don't have to resign.

That’s fine, as long as the Republican doesn’t have to resign.

I confess to wearing a gorilla mask to a Halloween party around 1974. Please direct me to the nearest disintegration chamber.

In spite of the misinformation Fox News had this afternoon, Norment would not become Governor if all three of the Democrat weasels have to resign. The Republican Speaker of the House, who won his seat by winning a drawing, is fourth in succession.The Democrats have not found him in any college blackface photos….yet.

The real crime is being white males. After you realize that, it’s all just parsing.

This has become such a comedy. It’s worse than being accused
of Sorcery. “People are saying that you used to be a WITCH!”
At some point they need to admit that we have all crossed the line at some time or another. All races do that.
Time to move on, admitting no one is perfect.

If the most beautiful woman at the party was a man, you were at the wrong party!

Bing Crosby sang in blackface in Holiday Inn and Irving Berlin wrote the number. Destroy them too?
