FLASHBACK TO 2013: Virginia Dem Lieutenant Gov. Nominee Ralph Northam Refuses To Shake Hands With Black GOP Opponent. I remember, good old Coonman was cheered for that From your link: It was insulting, but, on the other hand, I thought it was consistent with the way he behaves. Because, this spot he’s been running, saying that I believe that a child born with birth defects is born that way because of their parents’ sin is just a damnable, palpable, despicable lie. I don’t believe that. I never said anything like that. And it’s that kind of dishonesty that, to me, says this is not the kind of person that needs to be holding state-wide office. Not shaking my hand really just confirmed that. Ken Klukowski has a report detailing reaction from black civil rights leaders over the insulting snub.

That's the part that people seem to be missing in all of this and why I wouldn't be surprised if he does eventually resign.

Rob's House Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 We have all done things we’re not proud of in the past, and our most offensive and obnoxious moments do not encapsulate our lives. But given an American elite culture that is regressing to a secular version of old puritanical norms, whereby sinners are branded for life and there are political points to be scored for casting them into hellfire, it is not surprising that Northam was immediately deluged with calls to resign. https://quillette.com/2019/02/02/the-ralph-northam-scandal-betrays-the-lefts-hypocrisy-on-forgiveness-and-rehabilitation/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a fairly reasonable position. It's highly unlikely the intent was to promote racism or the KKK. I think the only reason conservatives scoff at this is that they know CNN would never take such a reasonable approach to a similarly situated Republican. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter, Skynet is a Democrat. All will be forgiven as a youthful indiscretion. It wants everyone to be equal (both socially and economically) under Skynet, with all dissent from the organics ruthlessly crushed in late late late late term abortion factories. 10 minutes ago, DC Tom said: Northam calls a staff meeting during the first half of the Superbowl.

B-Man Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 WHY DEMOCRATS WILL OUST GOV. NORTHAM FTA: Third, and the main point of this post, Democrats are going to make sure Northam steps down. They have to for a simple reason: the Democrats’ main tactic nowadays is to accuse all Republicans of racism. If they give Northam a pass on this, it blunts their favorite attack. They can’t afford to give up this weapon because it is central to their long-term electoral strategy, which is to divide Americans between white and non-white populations, and pit them against each other. What else is the purpose of the whole leftist campaign to demonize “white privilege,” and the growing number of “whiteness studies” courses on campus whose focus is that white people are the focus of evil in the modern world? So Northam is acceptable collateral damage for the long-term interests of the party. The evidence for this point accumulates steadily. I recall a panel at the 2017 American Political Science Association meeting blasting Hillary Clinton for having chosen Tim Kaine as her running mate instead of a minority, and declaring that if the next Democratic nominee isn’t a woman or person of color, then the running mate has to be. Mark this down as we get closer to the Democratic nomination next year. If it is Joe Biden (who can be thought of as a “legacy” candidate), he will choose a woman or a minority as his running mate. The real sin of Howard Schultz is that he is the wrong sex more than the fact that he is a billionaire. Finally, why are liberals so obsessed with finding racism down to the microaggression level? Probably because liberals turn out to be the real racists, so they’re projecting their own racism onto their political opponents. I refer readers back to an item here from a few weeks about about the social science study that found liberals “talk down” to minorities while conservatives talk to everyone equally. Worth going back to refresh your memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
