KKK is the Democrat party.....Why is this News?

[SeattleGriz]

If the shoe fits....

P.S. - You Conks don't seem to have a problem doing it.

First, I'm not sure if I qualify as a Conk. Second, if it's ok to assume that Southerners are racists because some of them are (just like some Midwesterners, some Westerners, some New Englanders, etc. are) then isn't it also ok to assume that homosexual men wear bling and speak with a lisp because some of them do? Making assumptions based on stereotypes is wrong.

You're pretty closed-minded for a supposed liberal and like I've said before, you have more in common with those that you despise than you realize.

Jeff wears bling!

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I wonder how many of these it will take to trigger the racists on here?

Love that FLAG

Make no mistake about it no matter how they spin this Northam is a prototypical modern day Democrat, he oozes their agenda.

Never let the facts stand in the way of a good story!

Of course a democrat couldn't have done such a thing..Virginia..the South...KKK...Blackface...he MUST be a republican..oops...

How does this guy release an official statement yesterday saying he's in the photo, and then today says he's not?

I think that's more offensive than the silly photo 35 years ago when people weren't hypersensitive about everything.

[93henfan]

I can see the news a few decades from now:

Democrat Joe Schmoe has dropped out of the presidential race after posts from My Space uncovered the candidate referring to one of his white friends "my n****" in some apparent banter on the social media platform.

By this standard, 93’s political ambitions are toast.

I'm crushed. I was on a path to the Presidency.

There goes my job as Chief Economic Advisor.

[CID1990]

Why?

What is it with younger people? Why is the first thing that has to happen when a mistake is made is that they lose their job? Its **** retarded, ignorant and totally reeks of privilege!

It was 30+ years ago get over it.

He was 25.

Here’s the thing: I understand it was years ago, people change, and it likely doesn't reflect the Northam of today. But he knew it was out there and didn't address it. Putting aside opinions about the photo, Northam demonstrated he's irresponsible and selfish for allowing this to broadside the VA gov't and Dems.

He's not fit to lead for letting it get to this point and damaging trust. And while I won't speak for it, I don't expect black communities to go along with being governed by a man in KKK garb or blackface.

That said, Northam can be forgiven and still resign; they're not mutually exclusive items.

Oh ok I’m glad you clarified

I was going to ask if you were outraged over blackface from 30 years ago or over supporting infanticide last week

Difficult to tell what’s disqualifying today

Actually my thought on this when I saw Republicans jumping on it was to question of why this is worse than what's in Trump's background.

Like, for instance, in this age of "me too" we had a video of Trump talking about grabbing women by the pussy when he was in his 50s about 13 years ago. And back in the 1970s he and his father were discriminating against Blacks by refusing to rent to them.

I mean, is wearing Blackface or a Klan outfit for a party worse than actually denying people apartment rentals because they're Black?

The big takeaway here is that Democrats in general are not tolerating something this guy did back in the 1980s while Republicans will tolerate ANYTHING Trump did even though some of what Trump did was a lot worse.

So you are okay with the black face and KKK sheet in the 1980's, but not Trumps racism in the 1980's?

I've said before that I think the response to something like Blackface is over done just as I've said Native Americans getting all upset about a White person dressing like a Native American is overdone. To me it's not that bad to begin with. Dressing up as a Klansman might be a little worse but then again people dress up in costumes representing bad people all the time.

But even if I'm wrong about that the main point is that Trump actually did something to affect people's lives. When somebody dresses up in Blackface or puts on a Klan outfit for a party they just go to the party. It doesn't affect anybody. Trump and his father actually directed a practice of telling Black people who showed up to rent apartments that the apartments weren't available. Then when people investigating would send a White person to rent the same apartment it was available.

To me what Trump did in that regard was clearly way worse than dressing up in Blackface or wearing a Klan outfit for a Party was.

Also, again, I don't see having a yearbook picture from when you're 25 years old come out as worse, or even as bad as, that thing with Trump on the Access Hollywood tape when he was 59 years old.

Again: The difference is that the Democrats are pushing the Virginia Governor to resign. Republicans have their heads completely up Trump's rectum. They rallied behind him in spite of seeing that Access Hollywood video and knowing that he engaged in race based housing discrimination.

Why do you consistently lie time after time after time on this forum?

The FBI investigated this way back in the 1970's and found NOTHING.

The investigators interviewed dozens of employees and dozens of tenants, and ONE person said FRED Trump (not Donald) told him to not rent to blacks. The problem with that is dozens of other people said none of the Trumps told them anything of the sort.

There was a tiny number of management at only a small handful of properties who may have discriminated on their own, and after dozens of interviews, the investigation showed any alleged discriminatory practices were not ordered nor encouraged by the Trump organization.

There is plenty of legitimate issues with Trump, but you idiots continually turn the volume up to 11 on stupid unfounded nonsense. It's bewildering.

FBI releases documents related to Trump apartment discrimination case

The FBI on Wednesday released hundreds of pages of its notes surrounding the 1970s investigation of alleged racial discrimination in housing units owned by Trump Management Co., run by President Trump’s late father, Fred Trump.

The probe, which took place from 1972 to 1974, was part of one of the largest discrimination cases brought in that era. The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division ultimately filed a suit in 1973.

Donald Trump, 27 years old at the time and four years out of business school, held a news conference at a Manhattan hotel, calling the government’s claims “such outrageous lies,” according to an in-depth account of the case published by The Washington Post last year.

The company countersued the government, asking for $100 million in damages for false allegations of discrimination.

Within the FBI’s newly released documents, totaling 389 pages, are notes by law enforcement and numerous interviews with Trump Management Co. employees and management, in addition to tenants of the building.

Many of the interviewees said that they had never seen any discrimination against African-Americans or Puerto Ricans.

True.

At some point that some sh!t is going to stick to Trump that he won't be able to wash off.

If Trump is the liar you say he is, why do you believe him on this?

I actually think the Dems have jumped on this more than the R's.


BTW, possible reports of sexual assault by the Lt Gov out there.

This was put out by the GOP. They are desperate, as usual

This is far more disqualifying. McConnell must resign.

Any politician displaying, or endorsing the flag of racist traitors must go. No place for them in the US.

Where have I heard something like this before?

https://wtvr.com/2019/02/04/justin-fairfax-claim/

“The person reported to be making this false allegation first approached the Washington Post – one of the nation’s most prominent newspapers — more than a year ago, around the time of the Lieutenant Governor’s historic inauguration,” the statement continued. “The Post carefully investigated the claim for several months. After being presented with facts consistent with the Lt. Governor’s denial of the allegation, the absence of any evidence corroborating the allegation, and significant red flags and inconsistencies within the allegation, the Post made the considered decision not to publish the story.”

Do you honestly believe if it was a Republican gov that CNN would identified him as a Democrat?
It was either intentionally done by an editor, or more likely a Pavlovian slip. Libtards at CNN just can’t help themselves..

*corroborating the allegation*...*significant red flags*...*inconsistencies within the allegation*

That didn't seem to be a requirement during the last SCOTUS nomination process.

Not this shit again.


Stars and Bars - 1861-1865: slavery, secession

Stars and Stripes - 1777-Present Day: secession, slavery, disenfranchisement of blacks and women, eugenics, Jim Crow, gay rights violations, etc...


A lot more shit has occurred under the American Flag vs the CSA. It's not the flag...but what the flag represents. I get it. But quit revising and ignoring history and quit the dramatics.
