Hey Scott Calvert & Jon Kamp - there’s a rumor the janitor at the school was a Republican too... it’s a hot tip - run with it.

I agree. It’s far different to have been one among many editors of a yearbook in the 1960s in which those pictures of other people appeared, compared to having been the subject of such photos in the 1980s. A quantum difference in PC failings.

Next they’ll include anyone who attended the offending school.

It's not even him, he just worked on the yearbook committee.

This is really, really weak sauce from the media and Democrats trying to deflect. They had all this time to search for their "whataboutism" and this was all they could find?

By all means let us judge everything yesterday by today’s made up standards.

Just more things to be offended by to make the news.

It’s a purposefully misleading title.

The Wall Street Journal has devolved to nothing more than a Washington Post wannabe.

WSJ loves to be in Washington Compost territory with its “reporting”.

Of course, this is the rag whose editorial board called for “a five-word constitutional amendment” reading “There shall be open borders”, solidifying their ardent Marxism.

It’s lunacy to see this as “news” and put in print. What difference does it make if one paints his face ... I heard the reasoning... and it’s ridiculous.. it’s divisive and it’s political!!
I am so tired of silly stuff that is deemed important to adults... which tells me they are yet children in their minds.

Look at what they are doing to the Trump family... the names, the investigations, the bad mouthing to the world...
look at the murdering of new born babies, out of convenience.
And the news is black face!.. because it serves their purpose!

One more thing... if someone like beto ever becomes President, this country will be part of mexico... and the world will take on a different flavor... distasteful!

Apparently there’s a new business. Locating yearbooks in libraries and writing down the names of all in them for comparison with a list of people currently in public office. When a match is made, money is made for the revelation.

Good thing kindergartens don’t publish yearbooks, or the vultures would be looking in them too. Day care yearbooks? Congressman such and such put his diaper over his head and it looked like a kkk hood - he must resign!

Insanity is the current fad.

I’m thinking that too. I could think of thousands of dress up ideas that don’t include blackface. But blackface seems to have been the go-to idea there in the past.
