Black face for sureeeee.

At least that you can try to paint off as tone deaf or insensitive. The hood not so much...

If he resigns then the Lt. governor (a black guy) becomes the first black governor of VA.

So let's just call it a happy accident.

Oh nvm I didn't notice Archi mentioned that before.

Presumably one of those two is Ralph, it's unclear which one.

Oh, and his Lt. Governor who would take over is 39 year old Justin Fairfax, a black man who most recently made headlines for sitting out the Virginia state senate's honoring of Robert E. Lee.

Ok so if you're Ralph and you want to try to hang on to your position, would you rather be the person in blackface or the person in the Klan hood?

Don't you worry Virginia dems are gonna defend the shit out of him.

Thirty years ago boofing was like joking around and rape was like totally not real.

Apparently it's also long enough to excuse just about any behavior unless you're Bill Cosby.

It was just a spooky ghost!

**Melena** · 2019-02-02 12:45

He’s now supposedly denying it’s him.

**Niiro** · 2019-02-02 15:39

I question his decision to present his denial in blackface in order to prove that he doesn't look like the man in the photo.

Spoiler: show

One Democratic official said the state party has had no contact with Northam since calling for him to step down on Saturday. Others said that Northam has lost the ability to lead even if he is not in the original photograph because of the way he flipped his story and because of the disclosure involving the dance contest.

The Lt. Governor, Justin Fairfax, was accused of forcing a woman to give him head at the 2006 DNC. Here is her statement:

The Attorney General, 3rd in line for the Governorship, Mark Herring also admitted to dressing in blackface when he was a 19 year old in college, in a group performance as rapper Kurtis Blow. Herring had previously said Northam should resign...for blackface.

"Well at least we've got one VA Dem that didn't do blackface."

"Oh"
