Being a racist has consequences. We can forgive Northam for being a racist in his youth but the forgiveness does not provide him with any right to hold a public office of trust. The fact that he's not publicly shown any racist tendencies does not imply that he's not racially prejudiced.

I recall when Trump made the "textbook racist" remark about a US federal judge of Hispanic decent and Republicans said that he shouldn't have made that statement publicly. Being a racist is acceptable to Republicans as long as they keep it to themselves and don't go around making racist remarks.

Interesting that once again we have Trump supporters supporting a racist even when the racist is a Democrat. Being a racist is apparently more important than political ideology to Trump supporters.

Voting Democrat means not just endorsing the disproportionate impact of abortion on blacks , see PP founder Margaret Sanger's racist remarks, but now it requires endorsing the slaughter of newly born children.

All of us have seen people who would do stuff like that but the reason it's shocking is that it's something out of the mainstream of what a normal not psychotic person would have done in the 80s even on drugs. Sorry, but no pass, Governor. Get out of office now and devote your time to learning why this is such a big hurt.

Individually we need to start touching base with people of color but mostly the African American descended from slavery ancestors. All Blacks are affected by and affect the divide, as well as Whites.

Now he claims it's not him in the picture even though yesterday he was groveling because it was him. But now he remembers this one time, when he was impersonating Michael Jackson, he darkened his face.

Makes one wonder how many photos are out there.

Does that about sum it up?
