LAUGH BREAK: Virginia Dems Are Hoist with Their 'Intersectionality' Petard

Gov. Northam insists he will not resign.......so he’s sucking up bigtime......he intends to use the remainder of his term to pursue racial reconciliation by tearing down Confederate monuments, and has been reading “The Case for Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Alex Haley’s “Roots” to learn more about experiences of African-Americans.

“If anything, we’ve learned the importance of taking a step back and taking a deep breath before demanding these guys’ heads on a plate.”

And where was this attitude at the Kavanaugh hearings??

[ronnie raygun]

racial reconciliation, cutting your white balls off and putting them in your mouth while you say yes to all their demands. You northam are their bitch now, enjoy

[laweeks]

This is the party of the KKK, gross opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Jim Crow, Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, slaughter of over 60 million little babies, and now gross infanticide, Senator Byrd, Negro lynching, slavery, total approval of socialism, all of which are integral to each and every gene in their corrupt and sick history.

What a disgusting bunch of animals. And some facial shoe polish has gotten them all upset??????

[Liz]

Gov. Northam is reading “The Case for Reparations” by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Alex Haley’s “Roots” to learn more about African-Americans.

I hear his wife put his fave book ...."Little Black Sambo" ....... by his bedside.....just in case.

[aquila48]

Reminds me of pretzels - they twist and intersect almost as much.

[Liz]

Lt Gov Fairfax.... once gleeful at the unexpected delight of being elevated to the governorship....is now facing a second assault accusation in three days.

Fairfax's options are simple: resign or face impeachment.

This turn of events...finding out the Lt Governor is a clone of Harvey Weinstein.....has transformed what had been a crisis for ham-loving Virginia Democrats into a searing dilemma for the national Democrat party.

[HighSierra5]

Pretzel logic. Love seeing them contort themselves with silly explanations. It would be funny without the deadly consequences.

[HighSierra5]

I remember reading Sambo in grade school and it was about a little Indian boy who chased a tiger around in circles and it turned into butter. Isn’t that the real story of Sambo?

[Liz]

Democrats are covering their sorry a***** by saying:
"We’ve learned the importance of taking a step back and taking a deep breath before demanding heads on a plate.”

.....a quaint notion they blithely dismissed for the chance to knock off conservative Republican nominee Kavanaugh......

[Grampa Dave]

So nothing has changed in the plantations of Virginia. The black faced, baby killer/white Virginia governor will learn black sensitivity by going back to somebody else’s Roots.

The Black Lt. Governor will be given the choice to resign or be impeached.

Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s aides want him to read his way out of trouble.

If you can believe it, the aides’ strategy for helping him survive his “blackface scandal” involves assigned reading, including Alex Haley’s book Roots and an essay written by the Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates, according to BuzzFeed News.

It’s the whitest solution to a blackface problem that only the whitest of whites could have devised.

Northam stands credibly accused of having once attended a party in the mid-1980s dressed either in blackface or Ku Klux Klan regalia, according to an old yearbook uncovered first by the right-wing news site Big League Politics.

At first the governor apologized for the yearbook photo. Then, he backtracked, after his apology failed to kill the controversy, by denying any involvement in the photo. Northam then held a press conference wherein he maintained he couldn’t possibly be the man in blackface because he “vividly” remembers looking different the one time he dressed in blackface to impersonate Michael Jackson for a dance competition.

So his defense for wearing blackface was that it was a different sort of blackface.

This all really happened, even the part where Northam nearly “moonwalked” for reporters.

Suffice it to say, the governor has had a rough go of it, looking like both a supremely incompetent fool and a baby boomer racist. He has refused his own party’s many calls for his resignation, and he has even floated the idea of becoming an independent just so he can stay in office. But if you thought this couldn’t get any more ridiculous, the governor’s staff is here to disabuse you of that notion. Via BuzzFeed News:

His office has begun to explore how it might recalibrate Northam’s legislative agenda to focus closely on race and equity … The move would mark a brazen attempt to hang onto his office by shifting the conversation away from Northam’s admission of having once worn blackface and his denials that he is featured in the racist yearbook photo, either as the person in blackface or the person in a Klan outfit. Northam’s policy team is looking at crafting a set of proposals based on the premise that the governor’s mistakes have rendered him keenly aware of inequity and the lack of justice faced by black Virginians 400 years after the first African people arrived in the Commonwealth, at Point Comfort, in 1619.

The centerpiece proposal is not complete in its scope or in terms of what it will seek to accomplish. But there are many possibilities being considered for a broad platform: increasing resources for affordable housing; setting new, more equitable standards in small business procurement; implementing programs that expand economic opportunity for entrepreneurs; pumping money into public services like education and transportation.

Then, comes the really embarrassing detail [emphasis added]: Northam doesn’t plan to hold any more press conferences any time soon. Advisers are in the midst of negotiations with major networks for a nationally televised interview they hope will humanize him. Additionally, his advisers have assigned the governor homework: He’s begun to read Alex Haley’s “Roots”, and “The Case for Reparations,” the seminal essay in The Atlantic by Ta-Nehisi Coates.

This is like something lifted directly from a “South Park” episode. Northam should just pay an indulgence to Jesse Jackson and get it over with already. This also seems like the lazy man’s way of familiarizing oneself with the black community. (“Isn’t there a book I can just read?”)

The amazing thing is: There’s no way that we’ve hit rock bottom with what’s happening now in Virginia. It surely will get worse or weirder from here.

Little Black Sambo is a children's book written and illustrated by Scottish author Helen Bannerman, and published by Grant Richards in October 1899 was a children's favourite for more than half a century.

Bannerman presented one of the first black heroes in children's literature, positively portraying black characters, especially in comparison to the more negative books of that era that depicted blacks as simple and uncivilised.

However, it would become an object of allegations of racism in the mid-20th century, due to the names of the characters being racial slurs for dark-skinned people, and the fact the illustrations were, as Langston Hughes put it, in the pickaninny style. Both text and illustrations have undergone considerable revisions since. (WIKI)

A prominent Democrat offended blacks and supports infanticide, the left's solution? LET NO REPUBLICAN GO UNPUNISHED!

[Liz]

Northam nearly “moonwalked” for reporters...

That I would pay to see.......BOL.

[Liz]

The Dems are so transparent......acting as if nobody’s watching.....that tactic got Hillary dumped, too.

“It’s a nightmare,” said Representative A. Donald McEachin, a VA Democrat who traces his history back to Revolutionary War-era slaves.
“We’ve worked hard on the Democratic brand for so many years,” he said, “and now we have to deal with this.”

If by the Democrat "brand" he means slavery, segregation, secularism, socialism, and sedition.......well, they're doing a helluva job.

Your post #13.On the illustrator of the book, Helen Bannerman.

Bannerman presented of the first black heroes in children's literature, positively portraying black characters....

This put me in mind of our neighbouring city in Michigan. There was a popular restaurant called Sambo's. This was in the 1960's. Yes they had varying depictions of a little black lad to advertise. No one seemed to care what the name was. Just a delightful experience in dining.

I found that Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnet founded the chain which reached 1100 restaurants in 1957. Ended in 1982. Name taken from their first names. Innocent times and nobody had an axe to grind. At least in our twin cities in Michigan and Northern Ontario.

We need to highlight what his first statement about killing babies outside the womb was all about...The people of Virginia need to rise up and proclaim that this mans views on post birth abortion are in violation of the law passed by the US gov’t back in 2003! We MUST be bold in our opposition to abortion and stand up for the rights of babies. Someone in our church class today said, well what about the female babies right to life!

[Peter Libra]

Whoops! My error.
