Maybe one day dead babies will be the new blackface?

It's kinda' funny in a dark end-of-civilization kind of way that the maniacs don't care that he supports the murder of inconvenient infants but do care that he might have painted his face black.

When I was 5 years old, I used to dress up as Princess Summerfallwinterspring. Sure is a good thing I'm not in political office.

I think the movie White Chicks must now be banned.

In the past, people were not so uptight about race. The race climate today is so intense you just want to withdraw from society. Sick of global multiculturalism incessantly being crammed down my throat. Started with Bill Clinton, our first black president

I loved white chicks. It nails them completely.

Oh c’mon .....verify!
Your post stirs up dissension

Well if imitating another race dehumanizes and detaches that race from their looks, it doesnt matter what race is doing it to another.

Its time to end the insanity. Gotta bring back that infobabe again.

[Songcraft]

Very true.

[marajade]

It was a comedy movie.

“Maybe one day dead babies will be the new blackface”

That is spot on. Dead baby jokes are way more acceptable to the global elite today than racist jokes.

Clinton, yes. The precursor was GHWB and his ‘compassionate conservatism,’ that prepared the field for a leftward lurch.

The biggest surprise in the kerfuffle is Northam sports a “D” behind his name.

The LIBs must either be up to something or found out Northam was going to sell them out on the abortion thing.

The same group of ‘oldtimers’ that kissed R Byrds arse for years and Byrd in costume NOT playing games is now demanding a public lynching.

One would imagine Northam was outed by his own party as-had there had been a whiff of this picture/nickname or even the yearbook even if picture not on his page- Northam would never have made the Governors Office.

The way the LIBs are acting here makes one realize why and how CNN labeled him as an ‘R’...<: <: <:

So what.

A lot of people imitating other races were doing it for comedy movies or skits.

Wait til they go after Jerry Lewis. Or the guy who played Charlie Chan.

You think we ought to let this crap only cut one way? Youre nuts.

I’m not for people’s lives getting ruined for a stupid joke in their youth. It’s absolute totalitarianism and anathema to free speech. However, there is a certain schadenfreude to a Democrat getting hoisted on his own petard.

He wasn't a teenager when this was published, he was in med school, so he was a grown man.

[Seaplaner]

I don’t remember it from the 40’s, 50’s or 60’s. It wouldn’t have been a big deal for anybody in any case.

I grew up in the 50s and 60s.

My sibs and I were raised on entertainment TV network channels of the time. Lots of variety shows (Ed Sullivan, Perry Como, Many, many others.

Black face?

Never. Not even once.

Get that man a banjo.

[marajade]

the Wayans brothers aren’t racist though Gov. Northam surely is.

[boop]

I'm a physician who trained in the early 90s.

Under NO circumstance would a blackface character, nor a klansman outfit EVER be allowed in a yearbook.

Then again we didn't have "yearbooks" in med school.

That's college stuff.
